As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
it was stalling regularly on down gearing and locking up the rear wheel
I've never had it stall on downshifts (I don't know if others have)....
Let us not clog up this thread with discussion re injector timing but logging shows the engine is not "in no fuel/not injecting" when coasting or during deceleration.When coasting or during deceleration above 2,500rev/min, the engine is in no-fuel/not injecting. If you apply the clutch, it will stall. As the engine speed drops you can hear it recommence injecting as the engine starts to backfire & pop. Normal operation.
If you were locking up the rear wheel you're exceeding the bikes traction threshold. Try rev-matching or buy a bike with a slipper clutch.

All BMW Dealers have diagnostics systems which can diagnose/program the Terra/Strada/Nuda and all may now be more agreeable to updating the machinesFor those in Sydney. Had my TR650 software updated at Bikebiz BMW in Parramatta today. Works like a charm. Much nicer in the lower RPMs, no coughing etc. It looks like Procycles in St Peters have a MOSS tool also and they would have looked at it, but they were too busy and next booking was a month away.

I'm in Melbourne. I talked to the service areas in both the BMW motorcycle dealers here (Southbank and Ringwood) about a month ago. Both said they wouldn't touch my Terra. Then I talked with the service guy at Road and River in Geelong who was happy to do the work and seemed to actually know a fair bit about the bike. I'm going to take it there for the 10 thousand km service after Christmas. Will let you know how i get on.All BMW Dealers have diagnostics systems which can diagnose/program the Terra/Strada/Nuda and all may now be more agreeable to updating the machines![]()
JIm, ensure they check for updates on programming and ask them for a copy of the Operations report so you know the firmware versions
Why the F+++ would any one buy a factory and marque just to close it down and stop production?? Tells you, by an action, how good the Husky Terra/ Strada and Nuda were.
Potentially a game changer with time given performance,potential and cost.
Versus other 650s..an of course the ever expensive KTM. Ridden most of the current alternatives ...all seem like asthmatic ants carrying 500kg of burden.
Just a few teething problems that would have easily been dealt with.
Despise BMW and Pierers (whatever) for crapping on this project.
