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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Brand new bike (TE 511) won't hold idle. Any ideas?

Just bought a 2012 te511.
took off the smog canister and plugged the vacuum line on the head (yes it is sealed completely). The bike will start, run fine for about 2 minutes or so, then just cut out. It will refuse to start again. It will cycle the starter, but it sounds like it is not igniting. This happens with, and without the power up plug.
I have disconnected the battery to reset, but it hasn't changed a thing. The bike starts fine. runs fine, but after about 2 minutes, poof. it stalls, and won't start.
Any ideas?
I have not been able to find a maintenance manual for this bike (in the week since I have owned it), but there is no clear reason why this should be happening.

Any ideas/input would be appreciated
 
I had the fuel cell vent open as you describe. However, the forward petcock was closed. That seems to have fixed it up. Simple fix. Don't really get the need for petcocks on a F.I. bike anyway, but then again I am not ital/germ/swede - there has to be a logic to it somewhere ...
Thanks!
 
On my bike the petcocks let the fuel flow evenly to both sides of the tank and it makes removing the tank easy by just closing the petcocks and removing the lines.
 
actually the clean method of tank removal sounds like a great idea for them! Most bikes will connect two low sides with a simple fuel line. I think I like this way better tho.A little more complicated, but definitely easy, and no mess removal! One less thing!
Thanks all!
 
High pressure fuel pump goodies are in the smaller fuel cell which is also semi-transparent for easy reserve fuel warnings. Easier to remove the small fuel cell to deal with pumps, etc. Plus, there are fuel filters on the petcocks. I am looking into using the large fuel filter bag on the new Husabergs, hopefully it fits the 449 platform. Watch out for the vent line from the small fuel cell that connects to the larger one as this is a very tiny tube that can get plugged/leak. Reroute other vent tube towards rear linkage to keep fumes from developing near the heated engine.
