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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The iBeat Thread

Hello to all
I bought a TE 630 a few weeks
Excellent bike, but I can not decrease the number of revolutions of the engine idling
Now I am at 1800 rpm
Ideally, 1650 rpm
tips ?
 
There is an idle adjustment screw on the right side of the throttle body (partially hidden by the airbox).

If you search you can find the link to download the factory service manual from member "JTemple".

1800 is fine. Better a little high than a little low. Spec is 1650-1750. I run mine 1750-1850


Paul - write down those settings from Dynobob****************************************

IIRC mine is at 104-108-115. But I am more or less stock. And I didn't want it too fat on top to try to maintain some fuel economy. Works so far. Fatter at idle works way nice for starting. Still, I would trust Dynobob. :applause:
 
Excuse me if this has already been answered, but is there any advantage to having the Ibeat software over a PCV? Are there things an Ibeat programmer can do that a PCV can't? Or Vice Versa. I guess what I'm essentially asking, is there any need for the Ibeat if you have a PCV installed? Thanks.
 
Don't listen to me, I have never touched a PCV, and I rely on much more knowledgeable people to give me tuning instructions for my cars or bikes. That said, here's what I know. Feel free to ignore :-)
iBeat is pretty restricted. it doesn't give you access to the underlying fueling map, just 3 rough knobs to change fueling at low, mid, and high RPM (That's what I am using since DYNOBOB kindly provided tuning suggestions for the most common mods, and my bike runs just fine)
PCV is superior since it lets you run maps that can adjust fueling at many more combos of RPM vs throttle opening. And if you run autotune, it can do that dynamically, which means it always adjusts fueling. But it is more expensive, especially if you add autotune.
Without autotune, you still rely on somebody having come up with a map for your bike WITH your mods.

With Ibeat you can read and reset error codes. Don't know if that can be done with PCV. If you have an old 32 bit laptop laying around it doesn't cost much to make a cable and download the software.
 
Hi There! I am a new owner of a 2010 sms630. Its 100% stock. Nu exhaust system, no PU etc. I already connected my cable to the husky and cleared some errors. But what are the best ibeat settings (O2) settings for a stock husky? I think its idling to high around 1900 rpm.

Thnx!
 
I need some help here. Cant get Ibeat to work, got the communication stop problem. I run windows XP in virtualbox (windows 7 64 as host), a real pain to setup and make it work. I have gone for the vag-com way, got the right drivers and com-port setup. Tried and retried everything i can think of but allways the same result.
Anyone got any tips or someone thats gone the same way i done and maneged to get pass this problem ?
Appreciate all the help i can get.

Try using vmware instead of virtual box. VMware workstation should be fine. I think you can download a trial from the site. I'm running Windows XP 32 bit from my MacBook and worked first try. I'm using a obd2 cable and my diy cable to husky.. Drivers for the obd cable I got from the tuneecu site.
 
I'm looking for some help defining how the 3 fueling FT parameters work. I picked up a 2008 TE 205 with the 300 Athena kit on it. After cleaning it up, changing fluids and of course a bad fuel pump, I made an IBeat cable and started tinkering with the settings. It was getting 15MPG as the PO had the settings something like 120/130/140. You could smell the gas. I want to start with a decent fuel mileage which I know will bring some of the power down but I want that 3 gallon IMS tank to get at least 120-130 miles.

I currently have it set at 102/107/114 and it cruises fine at 50mph and has enough power to get there. But when I get on it, it takes it's time gaining speed. No biggie.

Regarding the 3 numbers, Are they for specific RPM ranges or throttle position or or speed is it something else? I'm just trying to learn. I can tell the difference in performance when I play with the numbers. I want to know what I'm doing.

Thanks!
