  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 TE250r

Jull: For my 2014 TE310R - and I assume your 250R - the oxygen sensor plug is Husky part number: 8000H6378

I bought mine from Hall's for $2.50US. (http://www.halls-cycles.com/default.asp?page=xstore&keyword=8000H6378&submit1=Search)

This is a plastic plug that's used when you disconnect the oxygen sensor's connector that's located underneath the left side of the tank (not the M18 bolt used plug the header pipe's sensor bung).

Thinking it probably contained a resistor, diode, capacitor or some combination thereof, I incorrectly assumed this plug is required when removing the O2 sensor. It is not.

This part is simply a blank plug whose sole purpose is to seal/protect the oxygen sensor connector that remains as part of the bike's wiring harness after the sensor itself is removed. In the event you or a future owner should wish to reinstall the O2 sensor (and I can't imagine why you would) this plug simply maintains the integrity of the connector - sealing it from debris/protecting it from corrosion.

You can easily accomplish the same thing, less elegantly, by packing the connector with dielectric grease and wrapping it with electrical tape. Or, if simply wanting to test your bike without the O2 sensor you can just leave the sensor installed on the header and disconnect the connection under the tank (being sure to secure the wires so that don't melt on the header). But, as others have mentioned, if you're running Map 2 or 3 you shouldn't notice any difference as neither utilize the sensor. Nor does the sensor have to be disconnected to load Map 2 or 3 - my dealer loaded Map 3 for me when I took delivery of my bike but they left O2 sensor installed and connected when they did so.

This issue only came up for me about a month ago when I decided to replace my stock exhaust with Pro Circuit's T5 full system (which does not include a bung in the header pipe for an O2 sensor).

For simplicity sake and the peace of mind that comes doing it right and knowing you'll never have to check or worry about it again, $2.50 (or the Aussie equivalent) is a bargain provided you can obtain the plug locally. But, if not, don't think you have to spend a small future on obtaining one. Again, it's not necessary. Good luck.
 
Angus, I'm pretty sure Jull actually has a 2012 TE310. Although he posted in this thread, he did have another thread where he was inquiring about that bike.

If he also has a 2013 TE250R, I stand corrected, but his profile and other post indicate differently.
 
Ah, then then Husky part number probably different and plug could be more than just a blank.

From Jull's first sentence I assumed differently, "Just picked up a near new 2013 TE250r for a great price."

I'm not sure if the 2012 items are the same as the 2009 items. If they are, the part # for the plug is 8000A7724. I hope someone else can confirm whether they are different for the 2012 models.

There is also an ebay seller that has an equivalent. I don't think it's the OEM part, but you can see it here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oxygen-o2...95?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cc3f0aa9b

You can also order the blanking plug for the exhaust from the same seller, here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251060316293

I know the blanking plug is different from OEM because the OEM plug has holes for safety wire.

Thank you**************************************** And can u tell me please, what else should I do to the bike was full power? Sorry for my English.
 
Again, I'm not certain on the 2012 models, but I believe you need to:

-Remove the catalytic converter from the mid-pipe
-Remove the O2 sensor and install the resistor plug
-Swap the air filter cage to a TXC filter cage (stock is way too restrictive)
-Possibly remove the throttle stop (really not sure about that for 2012, but it had to be done on my 2009)
-Swap chain and rear sprocket to whatever suits you, but most go to a 50 tooth. Of course, this is optional and will not affect the power of the engine, but is more suited to a race bike.

Your English is good, and much better than my Russian. :)
