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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PC5 + Autotune + cool mufflers happening soon, will keep you posted.

Well I was all on a path to leave my much loved TR650 stock motor and exhaust wise as it runs hard, is quiet and gets great mileage. Then Bill posts the single muffler and he sound mad me cry with joy. Then I realize I have two gorgeous and free flowing KTM 950/990 mufflers sitting right here.

Realizing that if i just slap these on my bike is going to be lean and not run as good as stock.

Flash forward to today, Guy at DynoJet has a TR650 and wants one of my skid plates. We had a very nice conversation and exchanged a lot of info. Was very impressed with their attitude and product info. Much like dealing with Kevin from Lectron. Down to earth, very interesting and tons of useful info. So we got into horse trading mode. In the end it looks like a Powercommander and Autotune will soon grace my TR650 as will the pipes. I am thinking I am going to end up with a sweet sounding wheelie monster in place of my stealth fighter stock bike.

Let the fun begin, again.

Will report as usual.
 
BTW I have the dyno charts for the TR650 with and without the PC stuff. About a 3-4 HP difference across the range with just the PC on a stock bike. With mufflers I expect about 5-8 HP more. Then the airbox might need attention. I am asking if OK to post those and will do if OK.
 
Finally! This bike needs to breath and with a 5-8 HP more, it will be fantastic, not to mention the diet wieght loss of the heavy stock pipes. Where does the line start?! I am in!
 
Here is some real info. Dynos for a completely stock TR650 with and without PC5.

at 40% throttle...

52 at the rear wheel is very good IMHO as this is a torque motor.

Also interesting...

KTM 690 -v- Tr650...

Kelly, any chance of you editing your post to state what the red & blue is for each graph? I realize that at least 1 graph states explicitly what one of the bikes are, and I can make an educated guess as to what the other red/blue lines are... but for ease of reading saying which is which would be terrific.
 
With that powercommander you can do all sorts of cool stuff too. Like perch mounted map controls and two separate maps for each gear used. They switch on the fly too so you could add some major mpg on the 650.

Yes had a really long and informational conversation with the PV of Dynojet, very nice guy, lots of good info. Yes two position on the fly switch from power to MPG or whatever you like. Very nice complete and way programmable setup.

thats all the info I got. Via our conversation the TR is the one with the most power except the KTM 690 I believe.

Thanks for the follow up!

It seems quite interesting to me that below 4,000 rpms the TR650 appears to put out significantly more than the KTM690... which is where most of my riding occurs.
