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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 TE 250 iBeat settings and mileage?

Heroes Ride Huskys. The others follow.
I had the p/u kit plug and jumper in the 08 TE 250 for 1 ride. I only installed it. No tuning, just the factory map. The sparky was in. It's fuel light came on at 62 miles and it stalled a lot. Did not like how it ran untuned so I put the lambda back in for now. 62 miles seems pretty low. I do not know the miles to fuel light in stock form, but 62 is a lot less then my stock 510 getting 75 miles until fuel light. With the 250 getting a good tune with iBeat what kind of fuel range can I expect?

What is the concensus on the best iBeat settings for the 08 TE 250. I know her dealer in Sacramento has the software but say they have never used it. If I had the settings in hand I am sure it would make the tuning experience much easier.
 
I think I figured over 50 mpg with the stock setup or over 75 mi. About 40mpg with pu and new CS of 14.

Have that dealer call another dealer that can help them get up to speed on the iBeat. I think the TE 250 settings will be around 100.6 or so for FB1....the other two are supposed to be 100.0. Around 2 1/2 turns out on the screw.

Pretty sure dealers were offered a course on the software. It looked fairly straight-forward. They should only need a little guidance.
 
A dealer that has the software (are we to assume a Husqvarna dealer?) and has never used it? How the heck do they set up any FI'ed bike? We have to reset the TPS on just about every EFI Husky by the break-in service if not out of the crate and after break-in. Scary

As for settings, there is not an across the board figure. Typically anywhere from 105-130% works for us, but no where could I recommend the percentages for the 3 FB adjustments.

Also, depending on your riding, if you're trying to sustain higher speeds on fire roads and open trails, you may consume more fuel with a 250 as opposed to the 510. If you're having to whack the throttle everytime to get up to speed on the 250 instead of just tickling the throttle on a 510, the 250 might actually get worse fuel mileage depending on the riding conditions.

I have spoke with 1 CA Husky dealer that says they don't have ibeat??? Another that says they have it but never used it. My guess is they just "sell" Husqvarna motorcycles and don't really give a F**K about them. That P****S me off so bad! F**K! :thumbsdown:
 
Any updates?

You have talked to 2 California Husqvarna dealers - 1 does not have the ibeat, 1 does have the ibeat but has not used it?



This thread is a stellar example of situation that could be improved.
 
I have since spoke with the dealer that claims to not have ibeat. They did say that they have the tools/software for KTM and Husaberg fi bikes but said they are not allowed by state law to change fi settings. W T F?

Thank goodness for the service and experience of MotoXotica. They got the TE 250 running great. :thumbsup: Leaving the O2 plug in with good results.
