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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Australian Te 630 Newbie Set Up

Hi guys just wondering if there were any tips on de restricting the Australian version. I know there are threads relating to the US but I'm not sure if the bikes are different due emission laws and so on.

Here in Oz we have "LAMS" which restricts the bike until you have a full licence so that is complies to a power to weight ratio. On the official Husky Australia site it says the following 'Conversion to standard (non LAMS approved) power delivery is readily available as an option for purchasers who subsequently gain an open license status.'

Any advice on this?
 
Pretty sure it is fully derstricted from the dealer, at least c/w the US versions.
 
As far as I know the bike without the Power Up Kit would be LAMS compliant as it is for some other countries in Europe as well.
Also I think the Australian bike has the European ECU.

So applying the PU kit to the bike would effectively de restrict it.
 
I am in Australia and have a 630. Mine from new had no air box restrictor in it. When I put the twin Barrett pipes on, it needed to be tuned as it would barely run. I got the dealer to install the pickup kit and tune.

Husky parts book lists 2 ECUs for the Aus. SM and 1 for the TE.
 
I believe the restricted version has a throttle stop and possibly a different cable linkage at the throttle body. De restricting it should be fairly simple.

If you are contemplating de-restricting the bike while on a restricted licence it can open you up to all sorts of hassles if you are ever involved in an accident.
 
Contacted Husky, I have the non LAMS version. I have had my full licence since the 80's so no worries there. Cheers all
 
From my understanding all Australian TE630 are LAMS approved and are restricted. removing the restriction is simple. you will need to purchase the kit from Husqvarna (lumbda sensor brass plug and plug to cap off the wiring). how it works is that the wiring plug has something inside to tell the ECU to go into race mode. I is also recommended to get your dealer to adjust the tune allowing the bike to run richer, apparently they can adjust to a percentage ??? think 110% (standard is something like 80%). if done correctly it is a great improvement to standard. I got my dealer to do it at the first service.

Hi sap I contacted Husky Australia who confirmed that certain models with a serial x were in fact not a LAMS versions.Here's an extract of the email

"Thank you very much for your E-mail. The TE 630 are available in two versions, open and LAMS approved. Both versions have a specific VIN. I’ve checked our system and can ensure you that your TE 630 is a open version one. ZKHA400AABV000307 = 400 open [your bike] ZKHA401AABV000307 = 401 LAMS approved "
I have spoken to several Husky dealers in the Central Coast region who are non the wise on how or if a power upgrade can be done other than different exhaust. While a dealer in the States has offered me the kit you mention (a 15 min fix, alleged). Now I'm more confused, I couldn't tell if it is or isn't or what I should do now to get a little more out of the bike, yikes! ​
 
Hey thanx CindyTalk for following this up , I also cross referenced your figures with my new TE630 and thumbs up! "400 open" . PU kit in place and very satisfied ;-) .

Was it easy to fit the PU kit, what was the cost and where did you purchase from?
Cheers.
 
From Husky's email it seems that if your bike has a VIN number with ZKHA400 it would mean it is not LAMS. mine on the other hand is a ZKHA401, hence the need to de-restrict. It might be a idea to contact R & D Husky in Emu Plains and question if there is anything to de-restrict the ZKHA400. my assumption would be that your bike is not LAMS but will have some restrictions due to Lumbda sensor. it may be a matter to cap off the sensor and adjust the tune.

Hi Sap, that's what I thought. I have ordered the pu (sensor) kit from MotoXotica in the States.
Not sure how to fit this but allegedly it takes around 30 mins

Hi CindyTalk , dealer did it 4 me although he did mention he had to plug the computer in for fuel mix adjustment (Tune as Sap mentioned) ? The resistor cap and cable was cable tied up under the tank/seat somewhere and It didnt take very long maybe 15 min , sorry I cant be more specific as I am not really technically minded . One thing I do know is that after the PU kit was installed the throttle is heaps more responsive with more go , very nice !!! ;-) . cheers
 
Finished power up kit install this evening. Really quite easy. Remove seat. Take side panels off tank. Remove two bolts that hold tank to frame (on centerline). Remove one side of fuel crossover fuel line (pliers for clip, and a tug. Make sure to turn fuel knurl shut offs first). Remove lamda from exhaust pipe. Install supplied threaded plug. Lift tank to access electrical connection to ECU (just follow wire up from lambda probe). Remove plug and install supplied resistor plug in it's place. Remove lambda cable (I had to clip a cable tie and install another in it's place that holds a couple of wire runs. Hint- install new wire tie loosely before clipping the old one so you retain only the same cables). Now put it back together. Took about half hour. If I had to do it again, 15 minutes, no sweat. Really just a 3 on a 1 out of 10 scale. You'll like your bike better if you do it yourself!

So the remove the spark plug looking device (lambda) completely form the exhaust?
 
In my power up kit I have a copper washer, brass plug, and a black & white plastic electrical thingy.

So remove the lambda completely (discard? But this is connected by wires) insert threaded plug? So this is just plugging the hole?
What about the copper washer?

In the latest Trailzone (Australian magazine) they quote the lambda probe on the header (there project is a TE 630) as sensitive measuring device (efi technology).

Resistor plug then just plugs the hole where the other end of the lambda would have been?

Sorry for being really thick! But why have this in the first place?

Anyone got any photos of this procedure, sorry for being a numpty.
