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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

449/511: Help with flameout PLEASE!

I waited and waited trying a bunch of different things but in the end threw more money at it with PCV and
professional tune by authorised Dynojet agent - make sure the Dynojet people have a good reputation with the racing fraternity

Well, I'll give it a little more time but I don't anticipate much of an improvement (have map 3, FMF powercore w/ silent core). Last ride had fewer flameouts but had one while (admittedly) lugging it in 3rd at about 7mph. Nearly pitched me over the bars. I suppose that, in view of the thousands spent on the bike and current mods, another several hundred on a PCV and tuning is worth it.

Should also mention that custom dyno tune map is good engine protection to prevent over lean condition through out the rev range
 
Well, it was probably more than 7. More like 12... I don't know. I was lugging it.. it stalled. It nearly tossed me. That's it.
 
I used to get flame outs, installed a jd tuner then it was better. Now I have the PCV and running the zip-ty race map...fark what a differance. You have so much more confidence when stuff just works like it should. And boy dose the bike pull hard now, I just need to weld in my bung for the o2 sensor.

XM - you sum this up perfectly about "You have so much more confidence when stuff just works like it should."
On the road it is even more important as the risk of getting killed increases if the engine malfunctions and another vehicle runs you over.

Now that I think about it ....... BMW should take responsibility for selling unsafe equipment .... any lawyers lurking on this forum that can advise ??
 
The truth is these bikes are not designed for riding them on the road. They are plated off road race bikes that are restricted from the factory to meet the strict EPA standards. The factory realizes that the customer would then need to un restrict the bike after taking possession to get it to run properly. I personally appreciate the opportunity of this scenario because without such an avenue we would be stuck with overweight porky Japanese dual sport bikes.
 
Good luck getting BMW to even give you the time of day. Now that KTM is in charge and BMW is out of it, you would have better luck getting pigs to fly. At least you guys actually got the optional Akro can. Up here where smog crap was invented we can't even touch one without technically breaking the law.

The second we do something like remove the emissions can, switch the pipe, or even activating map II, we are legally no longer in compliance. That doesn't stop us, but very soon we will actually have to have off road vehicles made after the initiation date pass smog checks.
 
Actually, that is the point. We all have spent time and money to make them better. They can't sell a bike with a plate if it won't pass emissions and noise laws.

Go get em! Let us know how that works out for you.
 
I think you'd be beating your head against a wall with that endeavor.
I would sooner look to the gas companies selling us this garbage bullsh!t excuse for gasoline. It's NOT good for our vehicles, especially motorcycles, lawn mowers, etc.
 
We don't need more lawsuits, as that will make future products that much more expensive.

I just turned 500 miles on my TE449 (map 3 with TXC akro) and flameouts are much more rare which makes me a believer in the whole breaking in the engine/clutch/fuel injection theory. I even had to power down in baja over the weekend in order to extend my mileage (think my gas cap was leaking with the nomad tank?) and riding in the lean mode really wasn't an issue.

And for those wondering, there is a significant difference in MPG between map mode A and map mode B. I was barely sipping in mode A on the ride home and could almost see the fuel level decreasing when I was in mode B, lol.
 
Follow-up:
Had BPH Powersports in Sacramento install a PCV and did a dyno tune. 46.03 peek HP and more than 40 HP from 7K to 10.5K RPM. No flameouts, runs like a champ. Now, save a little cash before diving into suspension.
