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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

A simple fix

Ok just got a new sms 630 and it runs like a dog! I am not chasing a huge power increase so not really interested in pipes or tuners, just want it to run smooth. After reading many posts on this subject Is it right that all I have to do is disconnect the o2 sensor (which I will leave in place) and then put in a resistor so I do not get the FI warning on the dash?

Also do the bikes that came to Australia have the maze in the air box?

Cheers, Chillybean.
 
After a bit of investigating I found this was already done???? Drained the tank and put fresh fuel in went for a ride. Problem solved, runs a lot better and I must say goes bloody well for a stock bike:)
 
Old gas will do that...

Also, for future reference, if you leave a lambda sensor installed without being plugged in, it will ruin it in short order. They've got heaters to burn off residue and keep the element clean, but it won't work right once it's all gummed up.
 
Did it come with an aftermarket exhaust? If not, that might be a worthwhile upgrade to consider.
 
Stock exhaust, one day I will upgrade but not just now as I am saving up for other things at the moment.
 
If you're handy with a drill/saw/rivet gun, you can mod the stock cans into packed flow-through mufflers, even better if you can weld. Did mine for about $70 in materials.
 
Dont really need fuel stabilizer in Australia. For some reason our fuel stays good for months in a tank.
 
After doing the p/u plug and disconnecting the lambda sensor, the only genuinely effectice mod on mine was the JD-tuner. Arrow zorst (with the black box), opening up the airbox etc.were helpful, but not as effective.

The heater is to get the sensor to operating temp faster for emissions reasons, the sensors work just fine without the heater and don't require removal.
