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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Installed my new Seat Concepts seat, wow what a difference! It is actually quite comfortable to ride now. The extra width in the back really helps and the material is very grippy. Great seat! I highly recommend it.

If it continues to stall, you can try turning your idle up (1/4 to 1/2 turn counter clockwise). Also, as others have said 400-500 miles seems to be the magic break in number and the bikes run much better after this point. On the starting w/gas issue, that's how I typically start mine. Let it crank a couple times and then slowly crack the throttle open. With a higher idle, this may not apply.
Think of the maps as Map set 1,2, and 3; within each map set you have mode I or mode II. Stock is Map 1, mode I. With jumper, it goes to mode II. So now you have Map 3, mode II, which is the best you can do without PCV.

I must have seen ~hundreds of rainbows, even double ones, when I was on Oahu for ~4yrs ... I even saw the end of a couple of them and no pot of gold was there
...Seems strange to me that after ~4 yrs on Cebu, I hardly ever see a rainbow here ... And it rains often here ...

Ya I have always wondered what it is about the Hawaii region that creates so many rainbows compared to the rest of the world.

Took the Husky out on a trail ride today after 3 days of rain, so much mud and the river crossings were fender deep. I had never taken the husky through a water crossing like this before so was a little nervous but she powered through with no issues.
The husky handles great but I still find myself wanting more power, not sure if the bike is underpowered or if I am just spoiled with other big bores aggressive power delivery. Its that initial low end grunt that I love and the husky just doesn't seem to make its power there but more in the mid range and then once its past mid range it doesn't keep pulling hard. I found myself frustrated holding it wide open and not being wowed. For the record I have Map III. Would a power commander make this bike any more powerful? Unfortunately at this point I am not impressed. Thanks!
Don't have one myself, but with the right map it's like hooking up the afterburner from what I've read.
Go to ZipTy's thread and read about the goods yourself.
One of the many cool forward thinking design features. That high mounted airbox makes this bike a submarine.
I would vent the airbox, or get the TC airbox lid if you can. It makes a big difference!
