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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE511 Woes Continue- Thoughts?

Ok, jumped the fan with 12v and it works. Tested the coolant sensor 1.6 ohms cold and .09 ohms hot. Do those readings suggest the sensor is good?
 
Appears to be good, maybe you're just terribly lean off the bottom. You have options correcting the fuel, my suggestion is the powercommander and my factory/Burson maps.

Yes, look like good readings if they are K Ohms. I.e 1.6 thousand ohms....

PCV is a good way to adjust the tuning especially if you plan on doing more mods later.
Another possibility is to raise the base TPS voltage & richen it that way.
Others like the JD, some don't.
 
Alright. Had the bike on the stand warming up to test the sensor. Had the cover off the sensor. Blipped the throttle and it died. That's my girl!

Before I plugged the clip back into the sensor I put some dilectric grease on it. Plugged it back in.

The last couple of times I warmed the bike up its dripped a little coolant from the overflow. I pulled the cap and cleaned the cap seat off. Put a little grease on the cap seal and put it back on. Started the bike to warm it up again. No drip from the overflow! Cool. Then I noticed there was a bunch of air coming off the engine. WTF? MY FAN WAS RUNNING! I blipped the throttle several times and it didn't die.

Could all the issues have been caused by a bad connection at the coolant sensor? Was the ECU tricked into thinking it had a bad sensor?

I'm riding this weekend. We shall see.

My ECU was mapped by ZipTy on 5-15-13. Is there a better more current map?

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Yes and is why I suggested a bad sensor.

I remapped your ecu. There are no newer maps for your oem ecu. A powercommander piggybacks your oem ecu allowing you to enhance it further and then yes, there are better maps available for the powercommander.

I will keep you posted. I really appreciate the support!
 
Dirty connection adds resistance, same as the sensor does for different temperatures.
The ECU can't tell the difference if there's still some readings coming through.
