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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Diagnostic Software/Hardware

Hi all,

I am purchasing a 2012 TC 449 next week.

In advance of that, are there any suggestions of commonly used diagnostic software with service functions e.g TPS offset
Second to that, what hardware/interface is required to connect to the PCM?

Also, does anyone know if this model is fitted with a lambda sensor? I'm guessing not - and in that case is there a blanked lambda sensor boss in the pipe (I will fit my external wide-band).
Just planning a shopping list!

Thanks in advance :)
 
To add, and probably most importantly, I'd like to monitor and ideally log all PCM constants/inputs aswell.

Do Husqvarna have their own such software?
 
TC 449 is Keihin and software is dealer only. HST.
You can buy or make a test plug set to test/reset TPS volts.
Most tuners on here use JD or PCV to fool the standard mapping.
PCV software shows data on screen.

There's this: http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911/kmsk which lists the BMW G450X as compatible, so it might work with the 449 as well.

Someone asked this question a while ago.
From what I remember about the thread at the time, it wasn't usable for the TE/TC 449/511 bikes.
Might still be worth asking them direct though, it would be great to have ECU access at home for these bikes.:)

My dealer is 25-30 mins from my place & looks at me like I have AIDS when I front up with my Italian bike.
He only wants to play with the new KTM/Husky clones!! :thumbsdown:
 
Hi Guys,

My assumption of Mikuni was, as has been pointed out, incorrect. I have now collected the bike and can confirm as above it uses Keihin FIE. Studying the workshop documentation, the diagnostics plug links to the K-Line - so data monitoring shouldnt be too problematic - will carrying on researching.
As for reading calibration from the PCM - does anyone know what MCU is used? Im trying to locate a scrap unit currently to teardown - but if anyone has some info in the meantime, that would be good :)

Cheers,

Mate, if you sort it out we will all be very greatful. To be able to tune the original unit would be awesome.:D
It does use K-line, beyond that I'm no help.
As mentioned above, most people on here use a piggyback. Crude by tuning standards, but effective by all accounts.

The basic ECU is the same as all the other keihin powered bikes & most off-road manufactures who use this ECU are tunable by the end user in some way. (Hand tool, resistor plugs, laptop software etc)
You would need to get around the BMW 'handshake' for the software, what that involves, I am not sure as I don't have the smarts.:(
I know that it can be done, but not by me.

Watching with interest. :D
