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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Or pronounce Stain Tune with a heavy Southern drawl, yawl, still a confusing spelling. Just sayin.
I have seen some stuff from Quirky.
I still would like to see pictures as these come in, and installed and video. Unless yawlr chicken.
If you think about it, probably not a bad idea to run locals first. With some of the manufacturing tolerances of non-critical systems we've seen on this bike, I would imagine that they will need to adapt to that slop. Having a single bike to build from wouldn't capture those tolerances. So, it'd be much easier and quicker to ship out to the locals first, have them all try the fitment, pick up the phone and explain the problem, or swing by the shop, than to have orders flying back and forth with returns or fixes.

I am in complete agreement with you. Communication hasn't been their strong point.
In their defence though, in the last couple of days Telstra hasn't done them any favours. Their phones have been out, or dodgy, and their internet connection has been having problems.
I'm hopeful that those issues have been sorted out by now. I'd like to see them succeed. They are a small company with capable people that produce quality systems which maximise available torque and power.
If you want to call Adam, do it between 0930 and 1500 Monday to Friday Australian Eastern Standard Time (GMT+1000). Their number is +612 4871 3188
It would be a fair pain in the ass if you got the orders through to the USA without any of them fitting.
My guess is why Adam hasn't responded would only be because he doesn't have the direct answers. A quick email acknowledging enquiries would be nice though aye?
Good customer service is seemingly getting worse and worse in Australia.
The factory is small and relies on only around 4-5 people. They have allot of bike models and numbers to try and keep up with also.
Wonder if the good old flu is screwing up production.
FYI Where I work and just happened last week, out of a crew of 80, 8 were on holidays and a further 19 phoned in sick. So we lost a 3rd of our remaining people due to illness.
It may not be a bad thing to wait and see how these first few systems go.
They do make a bit of noise. Engenia, don't pull the restricter, you'll scare the locals.

Will the AF-XIED improvements be learned away by the ECU's O2 sensor? Or is this unit somehow forcing a different AFR no matter what the O2 sensor says? I have the eruption but suspect its value will be "learned" away by the ECU.

It took about 90 minutes. The hardest part was reinstalling the header. The second hardest was removing it. It had to come off since there is not enough room to slip off the link pipe with it in place.
Otherwise, Staintune did a perfect job. Everything just slipped into position with good clearances all round.
I haven't started it yet - it's half past midnight. The neighbours might not approve.
Can't post any pics yet either, although I've taken some. Schockwave Flash is playing up on my PC.

You are a very considerate neighbor - I wouldn't have been able to help myself
Would love to hear it, if you're able to make a recording of some sorts. Does it have a removable baffle by the way?
What he said /\ /\ /\ /\
Can you take a pick looking into the pipe?
Them staintune look like top shelf stuff.
Far as I understand the ecu won't learn or tune out the AF-XIED because the lambda sensors information is being manipulated. With restricter removed, af-xied on setting 7 and riding my usual maniac pace and a 15T front cog I only got around 14km/litre. I also found that 163km/hr was about max. speed. Restricter back in setting 3 then got me 20km/litre with the bike would pull hard and easily to 168km/hr and maybe then some because I'm chicken and had the knobs flying off the rear 908rr tyre. Front tyre was a starcross hp4 and was solid.
