• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 FI Throttle body question

W

Wolf

Husqvarna
AA Class
Quick question to the group...my son rode the TXC at a moto practice this week when out of the blue it started to run badly and then stopped all together. As it turns out, the throttle body got disconnected (popped off). Has anyone heard of this before? I searched but couldn't find anything on here. Did we suck in some dirt in the few minutes that it ran with it off?
 
I would think the bike would quit as soon as it came off. If it was loose prior to that then it may have sucked some dirt. No, its not a common occurrence on these bikes.
 
After inspection...must have run with a leak long enough to destroy itself. The air boot has no cracks, but popped off. Less than 1 pound compression. Really disappointed. Safety wire your airboot people, otherwise the back pressure will POP it off.
 
I have stalled my te511 in a way that has pushed the throttle body about 1/2 inch out of the boot a few times. Good thing the TE Dual Throttle has so much extra wires and parts it is almost impossible to have it blow out completely. Tighten the boot clamps real good and Problem solved!
