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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Would you sell your bike (TR650) back to KTM for full MSRP?

With what would I replace my Terra with after selling it back to KTM?

Should be in the USA in about a half year. Hopefully KTM will have my check ready :D

Yamaha is coming out with a midsize adventure bike built around the FZ-07 engine. Should be a great bike.

Have you found any real info on that?

I'm sure hoping Yami does and pulls it off right. I think they'll shred the market with it if they don't muck it up and make it too heavy.

Yamaha has not tried to sell the Tenere 660 here in the states, why would they think about selling the still imaginary FZ07 ADV bike here?

It will be a great bike, I'm sure, but I am certainly not expecting it to be 50/50 machine. Perhaps it will be a viable option for Strada fans, but not what this Terra rider is looking for. I could be wrong though. There still isn't anything out there like the Terra.
 
Guys,
Do I or would I take what I paid for it.....I like many of us out here have mods done that have improved my Terra lots, new gearing and chain, tires,air filters,
seat kits, racks and side racks too.....I'd end up about even if I got what I paid for it...but I didn't buy it to sell it I got it to ride and I do. I'd hate to buy another bike to get where I am now...even with ill running condition I'd probably keep my Terra

I'm with Rod. I really like the bike. When I ride my friend's Sertao it just doesn't compare. Comfort, acceleration, handling, suspension... it's all very different--less exciting to be honest. It's hard to believe they share as many parts as they do. I have about $9000 in my Terrified Strada and I'd have to spend more than that to dial in a KTM or other replacement bike considering how the TR is set up now. I also never had the kind of issues other report on the forums--a stumble now and then, one seizure when pulling out of an intersection, but nothing too serious overall.
 
Right now my Strada is nothing but garage art due to an EWS error. Hell I,d let them have it for Nada/Kbb value and never look back. But do I expect KTM/Husqvarna to own up this, no.20160907_110441.jpg

Welcome, looks like you may have a delay in getting your posts going. If you would care to elaborate on the EWS error and how it came about, and get some good direction, post up a new topic about it. Pictures, history on how it happened, things you've tried etc.
 
Well the garage art is running after collecting dust for the last 8 months. I ended up installing a ground strap from ECU case to the negative battery post and it fired right up. Put 40 miles on it yesterday and everything seem to be working fine. Need to ride today to burn the rest of the old gas and then do an oil change. I will say I like the way the bike handles with new wheel set, 150/60-17 rear and 120/70-17 front.:banana:

did you disconnect battery and/or ECU when you installed the ground strap?

Nope...just made up a 5sqmm insulated copper lead from one of the ECU-base-plate bolts to the battery negative, took the two ECU mounting screw off, flipped over the ECU and connected
the 6mm eyelet connector via a star-washer/ serrated washer to the base-plate of the ECU, then to the battery negative.
There's an existing connection there anyway, no reason to disconnect anything for the sake of doubling up on that link.

You might wanna have a real close look at that before passing over a check to anyone....
Seen it in the flesh ...and that sure stopped any checks, thanks.

i know how to install the strap but was curious if mysery1 disconnected the ECU or battery as that may have fixed the EWS error.

Disconnecting the battery or the ECU did not clear EWS error only after running the ground strap did the EWS error clear. I will start a new thread on this, was trying download some pictures but I'm having problems.
