Hi everyone,
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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

For that particular bike, 'probably'. If you had a 2008 it would be far more important.
It would run cleaner and smoother more than simple adjustments by using the iBeat parameters. You would also be able to adjust the afr for max mpg or for max power.
But the question that only you can answer is, is are those things important to you for that amount of $. Some people spend much more than that on exhaust systems & other things as a matter of course. Other people keep the bikes as stock as possible to keep expenses down.

That is for sure! The Autotune is awesome. I would never get a PC without an autotune.
It fills in the parameters for decel conditions (higher rpms, small throttle openings) that the maps provided from Dynojet do not contain. They focus on the acceleration aspect.

No, I just gave up on the autotune, when it worked it ran way too lean and way too hot, now it just doesn't work at all. I feel it was a total waste of money. I sent it in once and they sent it back and said nothing was wrong with it, sure enough it worked for about 400 miles and just quit again, I dont want to spend any more money to ship it back again so Dynojet can tell me it's fine. My bike runs great and cooler without it so I just don't see the point in dealing with it any further.
Not good.
My experience was completely different, but I did not really get any long term reports back either. For the record, I still have the 2006 with a carb, I was testing on other bikes, but my pcv & autotune was on someone elses bike for a few months. Not sure how many miles.
Those things have been used on sooooo many bikes I really don't think they would be in business if it was an ongoing issue. But I really don't know.
