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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

MOSS Tool works awesome.

For those guys out there worried about purchasing a new Terra or Strada because of stalling or low speed stutter; no worries, the MOSS tool works awesome. We had a bad/terrible running Strada and 2 sessions on the tool resetting idle etc. and its now the best running TRT/TRS we have ever sold. I don't know if Boosterplugs will be needed but we have them coming in next week anyhow.
Thanks to Charles Jirsa our Husky service rep for spending the time to walk me through the whole thing. Its very interesting how it downloads data during each step and 'voila' its running perfect again. Its kind of a bummer cant see any readings it just does its thing loading and fixed.
We ran our demo Terra thru it and it runs excellent .billf
 
That's good to hear. Are there any posted service bulletins or anything that has been put out by Husky corporate yet about this issue? I have tried explaining to the dealership I bought mine at what is happening and the guy basically treated me like an idiot and did everything he could over the phone to dismisss my claims as "imaginary" and just characteristics of the bike when I was trying to make an appointment.


Anyone in the Chicagoland area know of a good BMW/husky dealer to go to?

Still love the bike though!!!
 
MOSS is the tool system BMW and now Husqvarna uses to diagnose and adjust values on the new TR models and L'm sure Nuda in the future here. You can check and reset the specific parameters at where they are supposed to be like idle speed ,fast idle ,cold enrichment etc. Most of the new bikes are just a bit off at idle so it really makes a difference to reset them. Also any program updates get loaded automatically whenever the MOSS connects with Germany. There are no bulletins. The MOSS is just now being delivered to dealerships so be patient in your area . They cost $8K but Husky is giving a better deal about 5k required this year for Terra /Strada dealers ,an all dealer reqiured tool next year.
The dealers will be glad to help you when they get it in and get dialed on its use, goodtimes I'm telling you this thing works awesome getting these bikes dialed.
 
Ooh! I need to start saving my pennies! :applause:

Better hold onto my leathers, too. I'll need `em on my Nuda, I'm sure :thumbsup:
 
Mostly if a problem arises;but it helps the 1600/1800 stutter so we will just do it on set up or when bikes come in for any service.At this time we know of no updates;we are just refining the tuning ss they came from the factory..I know most all our customers will be wanting it done;so the answer would be yes.
 
I´m still quite happy with my steam age technology 630 with the p/u kit & JD tuner. Has anyone powered up the Terra or the Strada yet?
 
Bill, do I understand that you just connect to the MOSS and it does it's thing without any fiddling or guessing on your part as to settings?

Thanks for the good answer. I took mine to the dealer yesterday for the 1000km check up. They pointed out the BMW logo on the diagnostic port under the seat, but made no comment about making any adjustments through a computer. I assume they'll be getting the MOSS tool. It seems to be a well-run shop. (Eurosports in Asheville NC) They had 4 Terras and a couple of Stradas in the showroom. IMHO meticulous dealer support will equal big-time success for Husqvarna over the next few years. My Terra has been running fine in the last couple of hundred miles, meaning no hiccups or stutters. And crossing the breakin mark, I opened it up some, and Wow!
 
This sounds suspect to me. BMW requires a special tool that is only available from them, running special software that resets the settings to their proper values, and can only be done by BMW/Husky dealers. To me, this is a scam. BMW is making money off dealers by forcing them to buy this tool. Dealers are making money (and therefore BMW) off consumers who want their bike to just run correctly like it should from the beginning.

IMHO, the only way this would be fair (and not a monopoly) would be that dealer get the tool for free and provides updates automatically to consumers when a bike is brought back in.

It reminds me of Microsoft who releases software with bugs/glitches, then requires users to get continual patches to make software work correctly. At least Microsoft is not charging $8k for their software updating tool and an updating fee from consumers to maintain their computer.

Sorry for the rant... just my $0.02 (you can put it towards the update fund).

Fair comment. I hope Husqvarna is listening.

I would also like to know if MOSS for new bikes is different from the HSS unit I saw at my dealer when the 449/511 Kymco engined bikes first came out. Or do some dealers own both?? IBeat was cheap relatively and got distributed to owners. Ain't happening with this system...period.
 
Yes to the? We don't change settings it does from data collected.Next this tool is for setting and diagnostics.The only money made will be diagnostics after warranty has expired.We are not chargeing to make your bike perform at its peak and don't think any other dealer will either.First tool was Ibeat ;then HTS that worked on Mikuni and kehin injection both. MOSS IS for 650 series and Nuda. Also nobody will charge for updates.
 
I tried to spell Keihin on the Kindle fire it kept changing it and every time I type Nuda it turns it to the word Buds,so if anyone sees my spelling whacked out , not on pain killers anymore its autospell on kindle fire,got to figure out how to turn that feature off it ONLY comes on when on Cafe Husky?
