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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

EFI or or what ever PROBLEM!

2nd ride on my new 2010 TE 450, has problems starting. Once running (1st 30-45 min) she runs ruff, pops, farts, burps etc., can barely keep it running. It will flame out many times during this first 30 min or so. After all that, it runs fairly good from then on. No mods yet, JD tuner is on the way (need to pick it up) Fuel pump went out on my first ride, but this problem was an issue on the 1st ride as well. Display has also failed just after the fuel pump replacement. I went through the complete bike wiring system from head to toe with cleaning, tightening and dielectric grease. When cold, forget ever starting this thing by the kick starter. Any ideas from the Husky Gods?
 
Hopefully it is still covered by warranty, take it back to the dealer to sort it out. I have the same bike, the entire wiring loom was replaced under warranty when 'FAIL' continually remained on the display. Get the power up mod done. There are other threads regarding problems with the 2010 TE 450.

What is the warranty on these bikes ? The manual and dealer were a little vague.

Check the temp sensor, known to go bad and cause issues like that.

Yep- and I was going to add.....

Break in- she's tight yet.

When you say "no mods yet" does that mean you have the bike in "stock mode" with all the rescrictions; Lambda, CAT, Throttle stop, air restrictor, charcoal canister and cas cap check valve.... In OEM-EPA mode they don't run smoothly due fuel mode and being overly lean, results in a weakly and poorly tuned bike.
OR
If you put the bike in Power up mode- make sure the hose nipple on the intake side of the head that was connected to the "charcoal cannister" is properly dealt with. It should be properly sealed to avoid an intake leak- most put a vacume plug on it and call it good- that is only a temp fix- you need to take out the brass nipple and replace with a proper sized bolt- then you are ensured that it is solved.

If you have a good dealer- you might want to discuss your issues with them and have them check it out or advise how to move forward. Your solution could be being in Stock-EPA mode and need to go to PU MODE, Break in, Tuning, Temp sensor, loose coil, bad gas, fuel cap check valve.....

Many leave it in Stock "OEM-EPA" mode due to the Warrantee- which is 6-months in stock from to my understanding (IN THE US)- but once "Powered UP" its concidered in "race only mode" and your warrantee is now void- short of "good faith" backing from your dealer. What your dealer may do could be above and beyond what the paper says- but you'd have to have that discussion with them.

Here in my part of Oz, the bike was delivered to me with the power up mode completed while maintaining a 1 year parts and labor warranty. The dealer has been great dealing with those issues. And if I can say on this forum the dealer is 'Torque Power Ballarat'. Since the wiring loom replacement the bike is great.
 
I had an issue with my (2 mo) old TE310 not starting. Here were the symptoms and the fix:

Symptoms:
- Wouldn't start but could here a click when tried to electric start
- Didn't here the fuel pump "prime" the motor (1-2 second sound)
- Kick-start didn't work

Diagnostic and Fix:
- Removed temp sensor (brass plug behind motor) and tried starting. No success.
- Tested battery voltage. ~12V (down to ~8-9 volts when attempting to start). Not the issue.
- Removed tank (make sure you have a rag to catch the gas when you unclip the fuel hose.
- Removed fuel pump assembly from insiide take,

Immediately identified likely culprit. The fuel pump was zip-tied but had "slipped" about an inch above the plastic housing. This was likely causing fuel to go directly into the pump without being filtered first. The pump likely sucked up a piece of dirt. Removed pump and hooked up to the 12V batter directly. No motor spin. Was able to reverse voltage and engage the motor so I knew something was stuck. Keep in mind, you should only apply direct voltage for a second or so when the pump isn't submerged in fuel as it will likely damage it. I took a screwdriver lightly banged on the side of the pump while applying voltage for 1-2 seconds at a time. Eventually that jarred lose whatever debris was in the pump and it spun right up. Reinstalled with a vertical zip-tie so the pump would stay in the filter casing. Has worked like a charm ever sense!

Hope that helps.
