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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC Boosterplug - does it work

I used one, quite successfully on a 650 Beemer and a TR650 Husky. They aren't that sophisticated but it is enough to compensate for an open muffler and modest intake improvements.
 
I used a booster plug very successfully for nearly 50,000km on my bike, 35,000 on wife's. Not one issue. I then F'ed up and let dealer do the recall flash of the ECU's. Now bikes run worse than ever, after they struggle to start. I know a few who have run it and all have been very happy. On the other hand, a good friend ran a power commander and the bike ran like shit, spending more time in the shop than he had it. Finally ripped it out. No more issues. Power commanders require smart techs to tune them to the bike. The problem with our bikes is the inability to get into the ECU and manipulate. So you are trying to patch a tune setup over a system that doesn't like to be fooled with, and which provides no ability to manipulate.
 
Booster plug works like a dream. Immediately...no more spluttering at low idle sounding like it wants to cut out (or does). Gearing down at low revs in traffic and cutting out is something of the past. No increase in fuel consumption and is incredibly smooth. Money well spent!
 
On my 650 Terra I wasnt sure if it was doing anything,because the bike wasnt running good at all. I got used to it for about a month. Til one day I took it out and found that one of the wires had cracked. Soldered it back together, and now the bike runs great. None of the symptoms of the pre-ECU update that I read about.
 
I know this is kind of an old thread, so the OP has probably already modded his bike, but.. if you're looking to open up the bike and you don't live in a state ruled by enviro-nazi's, you should consider Husqvarna's 'EVO' kit. It consists of a open airbox, an ECU tune, and an emissions delete kit. Combine it with a slip-on silencer of your choice (Akropovic, Wings, Arrow etc) and you will feel like you're riding a completely different bike. The peak power isn't that much different (not that this bike needs more peak power anyway) but the low-end and mid-range are completely transformed!
