• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
    TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What are the rubber things in this power up package?

I took this picture... spring 2008? It is of a 2008 4st power up kit and I've long forgotten some details.

What are the rubber things in this package?

Oh Man ****************************************
Thank God, Ive been going nuts over these things for a year.
Haaaa.
Thanks Alot you have no idea I'd rebuilt the bike in mind 3000 times.
Ha Haaaaaa

I have a TE 450 but I'm having dyeing/popping/cut out issue's at higher rev's, I have the Power up Kit installed and I have the 02 Sensor still in with the ibeat done by the dealer.
I was told that the fuel economy is so bad with the 02 plugged that this is the better way to go.

If I was to plug the 02 for the track ! hopeing this would help with the Dyeing stuff ? could I then put the sensor back for the street and keep the ibeat work or will it erase it and just end up causeing more trouble?

How bad is the fuel economy with the 02 plugged ?

I think what you are saying is:
  • Your bike (2008 TE450) has the power up muffler installed, but still also has the O2 sensor installed and connected - but it is not running well at the higher rpms.
  • You are asking if you removed the O2 sensor for the track would it help the issues at higher rpms
Installing the connector containing the 2.2k ohm resistor where the O2 sensor is now will indeed make the bike run much differently, and richer, which would lower the mpg - feel free to do that as an experiment, you could even leave the O2 sensor plugged in in the short term. That will not alter the iBeat settings at all.
 
FYI, just because you go to richer settings be it EFI or a carb does not automatically mean it will get less MPG. If it is closer to the magic 14:1 ratio the combustion is more efficient and you get more bang for the fuel provided and that much more power per stroke. make sense? Inversely if you have a real lean running bike it is not making power, is creating more heat, and you are always deep in the throttle to get the same speed / power equivalent to a big metering fuel properly regardless if that means richer mixture.

Side plate bumpers for the new muffler :excuseme:

I wondered what those bumpers were for too, and I am still not sure. If they're for the side plate, where exactly do they go?

I used the rubber plugs on mine to plug the mounting holes for the mirrors after I took them off.
 
they plug onto molded in bosses on the inside surface of the side cover to space the side cover off the muffler, you guys are correct
 
I should be receiving my power up kit from halls in a week or so. I ride the bike purely on the street. Should I retain the o2 sensor or plug it? Economy currently isn't too much of an issue but is going to be drastically worse then I'd like to try improve it!
 
As long as we're talking about the 08 PU kit.... I hear that the shop manual is supposed to come on a USB flash memory stick. Mine didn't. The dealer did burn a CD with the manuals, but no flash stick. I really want the Husqvarna flash stick. Is the memory stick supposed to be included in the PU kit?
 
I *thought* the flash usb stick was supposed to come with the bikes, but I'm not sure. I suspect they are all gone by now... but maybe?
 
How do I get a copy of my '09 TE 450 manual now? I have the power-up kit from the dealer, but no USB flash drive or Map selector switch was included in the kit.

Does someone have it on a .pdf file I can get from them?

There's a link on here somewhere (try a search) that will take you a website where you can download the service manual. It's a big file (400 pages).

As for the owners manual, I haven't been able to find a .pdf. I happen to be flying into Seattle on Thursday so I'm going to stop at Tasky's and have them download it onto a flash drive. If you have a local dealer, they should be able to do the same.
