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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Got my Te250 running right

I bought a 2008 TE250 this spring used with 249 miles on it. I have put maybe 100 on it, 40 off road. Bike just never ran as good as I thought it should. It always had a hesatation in the lower throttle settings and just felt lean. I tried Race maps but switched back to the O2 sensor with the Arrow pipe to save a little fuel (I only trail/street ride the bike).

Now that it's cold outside the bike runs like hell. Until it was warmed up it would backfire on decel and stall out all the time with major hesitation riding lower RPM. trying to cruse at lower throttle settings the bike would caugh and feel like it was shutting off. Some times I feared it would make me walk!

Plus it had a noise that sounded scarey to me. Kind of like a piston slap at lower RPM's.

So I take it to ToyTech in PA and Chris takes it for a ride to hear the noise. He does not really hear anything that would make him think we need to tare it down. But he did comment "this bike runs real bad, and it smells like it's running real lean", so he put it on the computer. (using older software they used to use).
He shows me the TPS is at .7, so he resets it to 0. Then he adds some enrichment adjustment to the lower RPM range. He tells me to take if for a ride, WOW, is this the same bike? It now runs great!

Plus now the noise is gone, I think what I was hearing was severe ping.

One thing I did see is the ECM said the bike has 8 hours run time. But the dash computer shows something like 20 hours. Wonder where the decrepency comes from?

Anyway, thanks to Chris Walmar at Toy Tech Cycle in PA, my Husky now runs like I feel it should!
 
Glad to hear your bike is running great. I wonder if the previous owner replaced the dash or ECU while he/she owned it. These Husky dash computers are prone to failure.
 
Common for ECUs to display less run time but forgot why..

Not a big deal but the TPS was probably NOT the .7 number you wrote but more lik3 987 or even 1002 (i think these are milivolt readings). His re-set to "zero" was not exactly that but it was a change to the TPS which is is the zero setting as opposed to the other end or wide open throttle and it does have a lot to do with the bike running well. it's like the starting point for the ignition advance curve that's in the ECU. It's pretty common to set a new TPS value each time the bike is hooked up to iBeat. The other value he changed was the FB1 setting. It is hard to hear the ping

Here is a discussion you might find interesting that deals with TPS, iBeat and hour readings on dash computer vs. ECU

I think the voltage window was on the Right side (and I seem to recall seeing 98?) and the left window which was .7 (or 7) showed Degrees or angle?
what ever the noise was, it's gone now!
