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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

restricted terra

My bike was sold to me as an unrestricted version, but when I checked at home i found the restricted bracket in place. In Holland there is also a version for restricted license holders, but it is no problem to unrestrict it when the restriction is no longer needed (after 2 years for learners) or when you have an unrestricted license already.
Anyway, my dealer sent me the unrestricted bracket and I replaced the 25 KW one. The unrestricted plate can be ordered here at any dealer without problem.
 
Hopefully Vic from PFG will call back this afternoon to clear up that issue once and for all.


Edit:
Sorry for the name change from Chris to Vic (the national service manager) , I got that wrong after my initial call.

He did call back and here's the long and the short of it:
Engenia's info is right.
The key difference between the LAMS and open version is the bracket, which restricts throttle movement.
The factory info is NOT clear about if the TPS and WOT settings HAVE to be altered, but it is ....DEEMED!....to be beneficial.
Up to 75% throttle it's all the same, anyway.
To do the adjustment, a MOSS is necessary (plus the info of how to "drive it!!", which some dealerships apparently have considerable problems with).

The max. attainable throttle shows as 85%, which seems to be another quirky figure due to the lack of clear and correct info from Magneto Marelli, the manuf. of the ECU.
The 85% might actually be closer to an actual 100%, nobody really knows anything concrete.
Apparently that's the same as on other bikes, like the BM's and MV's, all of which run the MM electronics.

Looking at the above, it leaves a lot of room for goof-ups and crappy running bikes....dealers without the MOSS... dealers with MOSS but no idea how to use it....bikes delivered with the "restriction" plate into the wrong markets when the brown stuff hit the fan ahead of the KTM takeover etc etc
And NO, there have been NO mapping/firmware upgrades/ ECU flashes etc since the bikes were released, at least not for the Aussie market.

I did the reset, although couldn't descern any change in motor performance
 
I doubt, any US dealer will have an Australian LAMS restriction bracket on the shelf.
And if.... our Czech friend will not really be interested in that.

Me thinks that the standard no restricted part would fit The LAM s looks like an addon
 
In Czech Republic they was selling also 35KW version(for people till 21y old I think), but probably I'm one of few, if not the only one that have it. When I was buying mine, there was no unrestricted strada available. I'll ask them about that cable holder. Thanks.
