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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 Te511 - “fail” Message On Dash After Startup

V

Vik

Husqvarna
Hi all,

I’ve owned this motorcycle for a few years now without any major issues. It looks good and is more capable than I am. It’s mostly used on single trails.

The bike was due for a piston replacement so I removed the engine at home and handed it over to the dealer for the rebuild. I installed the engine myself after the rebuild.

Ever since the reinstall, it comes up with a “FAIL” message on the dash. The bike works and seems to perform without any issues.

I’ve had it checked by the two dealers in Melbourne. Both mentioned that they cannot check the error due to lack of equipment/tools to scan the codes, something to do with change in tooling after KTM took over. They confirmed the bike performs as it should and I can continue riding it.

The reason for not being able to check the error sounds very strange. That’s why I went to two dealers. Cost me approx $300 just for investigations.

I’ve searched this forum and I have checked the Airbox temp sensor as suggested by user Dangermouse in another thread.

Could it be wiring damage while I was re installing the engine? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks
 
Hi Vik,
I don't get on here much, (not since last year) but if you are on Facebook, check out our Husqvarna 449 511 owners Facebook page, we could assist you with setting up for the Android app TuneEcu so you can communicate with your bike.
There are not many original dealer tool systems left working.
Luckily we were able to get the bikes added to this great app.
David.
 
Hi Vik,

I have the software and cables to read fault codes. I'm also based in Melbourne. I'll send you a PM and we can check it out.

Cheers,
Phil
 
I don´t know in that year, but i have 2010 SM510R model, my speedo say same when turning power on, because my Husky is in fullpowermode, i have tested to put it back in limitedpower mode, then that fail text is not showing, also what i understand if shows that, because there was option for dual map switch. But you have opportunity to read fault codes, do that, to see what it means
