• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Random Stall – a Silver Bullett or as close as we may get. TR650 Husky

Production of the Pulstar SE2HT will begin mid-october.
Bought new set of ngk's yesterday, gapped to 0.61 and cured my pinging.
Interestingly the gap on the old set was 0.9 to 1 only, but was enough to cause pinging, unless they were rooted. (28k klm)
 
I'm doing a WayneC and running mine waaaayyy past their intended service life, just to see how long they last. I have a spare set of the JE2RT, probably the last in existence, in waiting.
Looking forward to the new version so I can try them in my Triumphs.
I'm still pretty impressed and have a much greater understanding and respect for capacitors.
 
(Rooted) OZ term for???????????? please explain 18000 miles on the bike, probably 12000 miles on the JE2RT, noticed pinging last trip out Sunday. Pushing it hard though.

I just checked with Pulstar on an update for the je2rt8 replacement. Here is what Lou said "it has been replaced with the se2t. And we have 2 normal heat range: se1t and te1t. The se1t is an iso spec as is the se2t. the te1t is the same length as the je2rt8"

I'm not super knowledgeable about spark plugs yet, can anyone weigh in on which might be the best for the TR650?
 
I just read the first 8 pages of this thread, decided I’m definitely doing the plugs now, and I’ll likely do the injector in a year when it’s due for a valve check…

Then I learn they don’t make the pulstar plugs anymore???

I see there are ‘some options’ for alternatives. Is there a general consensus as to the best option we have available?
 
best option imho is to have the latest ECU update, a proper adaption reset and rebuild and leave the rest stock. No stalling and surging and more than enough power for what the bike is. I had a bad experience with the original Pulstar plugs.

I’ve been testing two things to try and overcome the following;
  1. Cold start/warm up stall at 1750-2200rpm
  2. Over run to gentle throttle-on stall/miss , below 2500rpm
NB. My bike is stock standard and only has a UNI Air Filter.


First thing;
a)Spark Plugs.

I’ve tried a number of different plugs including two recommend by the Brisk agent in Australia. Neither got rid, nor reduced the problems and the good old NGK CR7E was as good as any and it stayed very clean due to it being a 7 heat range.

However, I have just installed the Pulstar JE2RT8 https://www.pulstar.com/buy-now/product/JE2RT8 (gap set to 0.6mm) and this has dramatically reduced #1 and #2 above. On top of this I feel the motor simply goes better!, more power and good response.

The Pulstar is about 12mm taller than a standard plug and requires the COP to be supported in the rocker cover, which I did with addition of two O rings (see below).

Second thing:
b)Injectors.

This is a simple bolt is situation, but requires removal of side covers and lifting of the air box which took 30 minutes to get to and the same to put it back together. The 0280158124 injector can deliver 10% more fuel and because I needed more fuel on cold warm-up when ECU is Open Loop or light throttle load it was perfect and when the ECU goes Closed Loop the excess fuel is reduced. To understand this click here http://www.lambdapower.co.uk/TechNotes/Tech-3.asp. Installing the 124 injector reduced #1 and #2 above to almost nil. Theses injectors are easily found on Ebay.


1)TR650 OE injector;
Bosh part # :0280158058
Flow rate :237 g/min
Cone(s) :Single cone 25 degree
Connector :Jetronic

2)Alternative I have used;
Bosh part # :0280158124
Flow rate : 261 g/min (10% bigger)
Cone(s) ;Dual cone 20 degree
Connector :Jetronic

Alternatives below that are OE locked (you must go to franchise that sells them);

3)This injector is used the 2015 model Jeep Renegade (OE#4627652) and the Fiat (OE#55241175) sharing the 1.4 turbo Multiair engine and are OE locked.
Bosh part # :0280158300
Flow rate ;251 g/min
Cone(s) ;Dual cone
Connector :Jetronic

4)Porsche OE # 997 605 132 91. Available only from Porsche and is OE locked.
Bosh part # :0280158271
Flow rate ;310 g/min
Cone(s) ;Dual cone 27 degree
Connector :Jetronic



At this point I have not run both Plug and Injector (#0280158124) together as I wanted to see just how much effect they had, but when I do I will post more info.

Hello, I now this is an old post but I will leave this note to help someone else. I purchased the booster plug and it sorted out my intermittent stalling. I am not sure if my bike had the "recall patch" as I am the 4th owner.

If it is stalling, then the ECU has not been updated, assuming the injector & filtration system is OK.
Can be checked with Husqvarna or KTM in person, phone, text or email.
Eventually the ecu will tune out the booster plug as the long term measurements are taken from oxygen sensor in the exhaust. Welcome to the Booster Plug gathering dust on a shelf club.
 
Before you do anything, go to the trouble of removing & cleaning the Idle Control Valve, then connect the bike to Moss or ISTA system for a re-calibration of the ICV and resetting of the adaptations.
It's a bit of work to get to it but worth getting acquainted with how the bike goes together (and comes apart!!!).

As Johnn has stated the BMS-E ECU will trim out the BoosterPlug as it will any of the snake oil Spoofer devices, find someone with a red GS911 & have them run an AutoScan the details in it will tell precisely which firmware versions are in the Dash/BMS-E & any other ECUs fitted to the bike, ensure a copy of the AutoScan is saved/emailed to post here for people to explain the contents
 
I had the same issue with the stalling at low RPM, I purchased the booster plug and it sorted out my intermittent stalling. I am not sure if my bike had the "recall patch" or not, I am the 4th owner. My Terra has since never skipped a beat.
