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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 TXC 511 temp sensor

I am looking to see if there is any temp sensor available out there that would turn the fan on at a lower temp. Or put a manual over ride switch on the fan. I rode the bike yesterday and the fan never kicked on. The bike never boiled over but my bike flammed out as though it started to over heat. I just replaced the sensor, so it was the first ride on it.
 
While it is possible to get a sensor that will turn the fan on at a lower temperature, your flame out issues are not water temperature dependent. Flame outs are caused from lean air/fuel mixtures. There are several ways to solve this issue and multiple after market fuel adjusters. I suggest taking your 511 to a dealer or workshop who can load BMW map #3 (Akropovic map) which should eliminate all fame-out issues.
 
I have a JD tuner, and a efm auto clutch. The only reason I suspect the engine temp is because before I replaced the temp sensor this situation accured only when the engine got real hot. I replaced the sensor and the bike ran amazing. The bike ran great all day during several miles of tight single track, but during one section it flamed out 3 times in about a quarter mile. After that it ran great all day. The fan works fine, but the time it kicks on those radiators are smoking hot.
 
Hey Tinken, do all dealers have access to the akropovic map? Is it a universal map or specific to the 511?

I have a temp gauge via my trail tech unit and my fan doesn't turn on until 195f, which seems a bit hot to me. Would be nice if it came on at 180 or 185...

It is universal, if the dealers have the moss tool, they should have them, or the can order them. I would give them out, but they are attached to our keys. I think the whole thing is silly.

195 degrees isn't necessarily a bad thing, these engines run near or over 200 degrees and these fans only assist cooling. Turning the fan on sooner may put unecessary strain on the electrical system. But if you did wish a lower temp, I did run across some 185 &180's. :)
 
Ok, cool thanks! The valve cover breather ran great by the way! Motor felt and sounded better too.
