Decided it was time to uncork the bike. Warranty period is now up and I've combed through the bike to flag any issues and all have been remedied. So decided to pay a visit to Ty and Tinken whos wisdom has been so helpful to us all with their experience and willingness to share with us on Cafe Husky.
So was pretty quick and painless and the results downright amazing. While my stock map and open TC filter cage helped the bike run reliably, once above the strong lower rpms power was pretty flat. Ty trimmed the velocity stack on his lathe while his great team installed my metal tank elbow and pulled the cat, etc... Granted not a big deal to do but tuning has always been about flow so getting the stack trimed well was important to me and they've tuned a few. Left the backfire screen in just to protect the engine from any particles that may by chance make there way in there. Open map flashed to the ECU and buttoned her up. Pipe was left as stock minus the cat and no PU plug was used.
Quick test ride outside the shop and all seemed very good. That flat spot which is the entire upper rpms was plain gone. Loaded the bike and arriving home, suited up for a more lengthy ride. On the road but it would show whether the bike still "hunted" at mid rpms just cruising and how it revved higher as well.
Big change in power mostly mid to upper rpms where it just wants to let loose. Better matched flow and fueling and she's as it should be without needing anything new. I believe this should answer some issues that some may be having with aftermarket pipes. They are just different and the Husky maps are for the Husky parts (Leo Vince) primarily. I still have my O2 sensor attached to the header and I hear the PU plug may alter something more but I don't need any more right now. The open map with the stock parts just work. The only thing not working is the hour meter so while Husky had stated it would with the race maps, it appears to not be the case.
Fireworks started a day early for me... Thanks Ty and Tinken.
