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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SWM is back

Without going threw the 16 Pages on this Thread, Can anyone tell me if the EFI still runs off the I-beat Software?

No, the fuel injection is still Mikuni, but the ECU is by Athena and the software is called Maya.

So it should have the option to adjust the C-O levels like the I-beat has. When I had my 310 Husky I got the dealer to enrichen the levels to get rid of the flat spot it once had and increased its bottom end. The 500 is just under $9000 AUD which is awesome value for money.

I'm not so sure. I haven't messed with it enough. The adjustment functions appear to be there, but that's about all I can really say at this point.
 
I've seen two bikes out and about while I've been here in the Hunter Valley. Both fleeting glimpses but certainly SWM's.
 
Off Facebook:

SWM Motorcycles USA SWM new model introduction next week in IT, we will be represented by Pete Vetrano........beyond that, we know nothing. At least we will have a face to face meeting to determine how they plan to move forward with USA approvals......It is likely that we are delayed until the 2018 models are ready for testing.

Thought I could pickup an old Italian husky and use SWM parts if anything broke. Guess not. Thats kinda a bummer.

Pretty sure most parts will fit. It is possible that the bikes they are building may have slight differences to the coinciding Husky models. This could be due to something like an update (for the next model) that never made it to production, due to BMW taking over.

That response from the factory is to cover SWM if it doesn't fit. To be fair to them they are SWM, a motorcycle manufacturer. They are not an aftermarket Husqvarna parts supplier. They want and need to sell new SWM's not old Husky parts.

Don't be too discouraged just be aware. ( Or buy an SWM )
