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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC Decoding Map Switch Position

The hard map is switched by joining the map wires together, and the soft map by disconnecting them. If the OEM map switch is wired in, position 1 joins the circuit for a hard map, and position 2 breaks the circuit for a soft map. I have tested and verified this with a test meter.
The difference between the two maps is very subtle, and in a lot of cases undetectable. I find the bike seems to hook up better on very slippery stuff with the soft map, although the bike seems to ride exactly the same.
I would say that anyone who is experiencing a massive difference, or seeing higher power on map 2 is imagining it. A double blind test is required - A freind randomly sets the mapping to 1 or 2, (toss a coin, heads 1, tails 2) then tapes over the switch. You then ride the bike, and try to guess which map its on. Repeat 10 - 20 times, then study results. if the difference in mapping is clear, you should be right 100% of the time.
I remember reading once, the any power differences less than around 10% cannot be reliably detected by seat of pants methods.

Ps, the mapping on my old FI TE450 was very noticeable - the soft map just cut out the upper revs power band, I would say around a 25% loss of torque / power. I never used it, as if I wanted it to ride calmly, I used lower revs, where there was no noticeable effect with the mapping anyway.
 
Oh man im still in doubt (no offense) to whats what haha, the testemonies are always back and forth. Nice to hear you got bike dialed in though
 
OK my 1st post (coming over from the 'orange side' w/ a shiny new '16 TE300. Re: the OEM map swich that is integral to the front brake master cylinder; since the documentation that came with the bike brand new 48 hours ago did not cover this I decided to figure it out for myself scientifically. the manual does mention that the black and the gray wire, that when plugged together (i.d. closed circuit) invokes the performance curve. Unplugged (i.e. open circuit) invokes the non-aggressive curve. I then broke out the Fluke 87-V multimeter set to 'ohms' and checked the continuity across the actual wiring going to the switch. Pos'n I = continuity (closed circuit). Pos'n II = no continuity (open circuit), so....putting two and two together we find that position 1 = performance and position 2 = non-aggressive. That was easy wasn't it!!!

Did you shut bike of to reset and switch?

No, I switched back and forth several times while running and/or in motion.

One of the keys that nobody seems to have mentioned is that there's a main map switch under the seat. The setting on that switch is for position two. If the main switch is set to position one or 4-9 it will be the same as position one on the bar switch. On my bike the main switch is set to position 3 (soft), so on the bar switch position one is "aggressive" (standard) and position two is "soft." Position one seems great for MX where you're wide open all the time, position two is better for...Well...Everything else.

This thread is 2 stroke related so no switch under seat. Only the plug under the tank.

You're right. So never mind about the under-seat/airbox switch!

The fact remains, however, that on my 2015 TC250, bar switch position one (standard) is useless in environments other than an MX track, and position two (programmed soft) pulls hard and smooth from idle.

And that's exactly how I tested and proved it!
 
Could be just me but tried both thos weekend (shutting off to switch between) and 1 seamed less radacle than 2, hmmm
