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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone good with the 449 efi? My bike is running extremely hot on the exhaust side. Previous owner says bike has the "race map 3". Anyway to confirm, or does this simply reside in the software?

O2 is plugged in still, does that give anyone an idea?

Does the heat suggest it is still in stock map that is lean for emission standards?
 
Sounds like it is lean to me and this suggests original map. On my bike the speedo unit indicates "map 2".
Do you have the original muffler/pipe or does it have an akro?

Are you at least running RaceMap 2? You don't need software to do that. Just a paperclip to close the loop. You will actually see RaceMap II on the dash.

you should be able to run all day with a functioning cooling system. Are you sure it's excessively hot (meaning: fan is on at speed, almost 100% of the time; radiator releasing pressure/coolant)? your description in your other thread sounds normal.

(btw, keep the threads focused; it's a drag to jump around to parallel threads on the same subject)

The exhaust header (especially around the first couple of bends) will be 500° HOTTER than the motor itself.

I see the previous owner put an FMF on (q4 I'm guessing) and wrapped the header... I doubt that you're running excessively hot- so maybe add another pipe guard. does the pipe glow in the dark (and I mean really, really glow- like past the wrap)?

good luck.

Never boiled over coolant. Fan comes on when in first in woods on hot days...normal?
 
When I used to ride with my buddies in slow technical stuff my fan always cuts on before everyone elses. I also feel a ton of heat coming from the pipe and engine. I know Im not running lean so I would say it's normal. These bikes from what I have read just run hot.
