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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Funny Ibeat Stuff

Got my IBeat setup today. Took it out, loaded it on the laptop, installed the drivers and connected up. While I was working on the initial comm connection, I had the key on and noticed the brake or tail light was on? Hit the rear brake pedal and it went out? Wierd? I do currently have the front brake sensor removed as it is broken and was causing the whole brake light circuit to be inop until I removed it. Now the rear brake light and tail light work great since I removed the broke front sensor. After I removed the IBeat, went back to normal. Key on, no rear light, start, tail light comes on, hit rear brake pedal, brake light comes on! okay..................

Other funny thing, the hours from the ECU do not match the hour meter I installed before I ever ran the bike. They are about 12 hours different. No big deal, just wierd.

My CO levels were at stock, 100 100 100. I change them to 104 103 103 and notice it starts easier and feels stronger when you rev it. Notice a slightly deeper tone to the revs as well. Didn't really get to wring it out much. It ran good before I changed it but did feel lean on the mid to top and did take a little longer to start in the cold.

Anyway, easy software to use and beats having to tweak jets!
 
I have a 630 and an FMF slipon. I'm running 106/106/106 on my iBeat and everything seems to run great. I never even looked at the brake light while I did it, though.
 
With just the key on- your dc circuit is on- so your "running lights"/tail are on. The "brake" light only works with the motor running. So that's why the tail was on- brake switch made it go out- and with it running everything was normal again.

with my bike and my exhaust insert (tests at 95db- so a bit more restriction) I actually went leaner:I think I am at 98.5,99.5,101
 
The hour meter is probably due to the fact the one built into your bike does not count a hour if the bike is turned off before the hour is up. In other words you ride 59 minutes and shut it off, that counts as 0 hours. At least that is what someone said on here one time, never tried it.
 
As your bike breaks in, you will probably go back to leaner settings. That's what I ended up doing with my '10 TXC 250 as it broke in.

But why then does the tail light NOT come on when you don'thave the Ibeat plugged in and key on? Something with the Ibeat plug being inserted in the diag socket is activating the tail light cuz normally with just the key on and motor off, only the headlight is on, not the tail light. Weird.

Raisrx251 you are correct :)

So then on the 2010 only headlight on with key on and no motor?

Even more weird! Why would it be different between the two years with basically the same configuration? Go Husky!

No- all the same- the "headlight" isn't on but the "euro headlight" is on: BA9 bulb (like a flashlight bulb) which runs off DC.

That would be weird but its just yours- I guess. Maybe it has something to do with your Front Brake light switch- did you disconnect if electrically- or just from the mount. Cause if you don't electrically- it will cancel out the rear tail- cause the brake switch will be a closed circuit at all times- will then have no tail with ignition on motor off- then with motor on you will have a tail (but it will be the brake light at all times)

If that's not your situation- I don't know what you have going on... strange indeed.
 
Since new, the tail ight only comes on with the motor running.

With key in and turned on (no motor running)only front headlight comes on.
Start motor then tail light comes on and brake light functional

I did have an issues where only the brake light was on at all times. Trouble shot it down to the front micro switch. Removed it and dis-connected it and now, the tail light and rear brake light function proper, but only with the motor running.

At no time does my rear light come on with out the motor running UNLESS I have the Ibeat plugged in, then it is on with the key turned but goes out when I hit the rear brake.
 
Well- That IS weird... :doh:I have looked at 08 and 09 schematics- they are the same. I haven't looked at 2010 schematics but wouldn't expect them to be different... This weekend I'll be spending some time with a 2010 TE 510 to know more. I'll let you know if his is the same as yours...:thinking:
 
Yes you are right HUSKYnXJnWI. Only the euro headlight (the small one) comes on and tail light with key on engine off.
