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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 TE 449 Power Surge Basic setup

Is there a stepper motor in the fuel circuit which keeps the idle up for a short period before droping down to normal idle?
No, it is the ecu maps that are too lean. In the image below you can see that fuel isn't given until 2% throttle at 2250 rpm. This needs to be adjusted so that fuel is given at a lower rpm.

So in order to fix the 'sticky' high idle when riding is setting the air screw to a higher idle speed?
 
Well I did the air screw adjustment today. 3 3/4 out from all the way in. Bike idles like its "cammed" if that makes any sense. Like a big block Chevy motor. Granted, I had high test gas with no ethanol in the tank because I dont ride the bike much lately with the crap weather. Anyway, its about 25 degrees out and the idle was high at stops and suddenly dropped to normal. No backfiring on decel tho and the power...holy crap what a difference from stock exhaust and "race map".
Pretty much finished with the CRF 450 exhaust too. Turned out nice IMO. View attachment 22973
My idle hangs a little now after I went from 3 1/2 turns out to 3 3/4 . I had a feeling it would amplify on your 449 . Turn it in a bit if you havn't allready.
 
Whats up Ladds?? Got a question. Just picked up the power surge for my TE and was wondering a good base line setup for my bike. Im on the East coast and Im running the bike with a slip-on and no other mods. I helped my friend set up his 2012 511 last summer but I didnt know how far off the two bikes would be FI wise.
Thanks!
Hey I just got the same bike today. Still have the stock exhaust but I am going to put a slip on fmf powercore on it and the jd power surge. Did your bike come with the race map 2 "jumper" wire? Mine did not. Just wondering if you removed the o2 sensor and plugged it or just installed the jumper.
 
PMd you. Also, once you do the power surge, do the TPS reset before you start asjusting the air screw.
