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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guy's, I got some questions..??

2011 TE 630

Husqvarna
Hey guy's
I got a Canadian edition 2011 TE 630, with 1400 km on her. I absolutely love my bike. I think they are amazing machines. With unbelievable potential.
I just have one problem..... I'm a single dad of two small children, and I'm tiring to run a business. LOL.! So.... I don't have time to research and read a whole bunch. So.... I need your help.??

I am not happy with the way she runs or the torque. I have not touched anything on the engine, so she still has that big beautiful black canister for emissions.:rolleyes: This week my 14 tooth sprocket should show up. And I'll install that. But...from the little amount, that I have read around here. I don't think a 14 tooth sprocket is gonna cut it. I need to be able to wheelie through inter sections. And dig a trench in the pavement whenever I get on the bike.! I need a savage.!

So now I'm thinking i need. Jetting, ECU, total power up kit, part of a power up kit, sprockets.....I don't know....I'm LOST.:confused:
And I don't have time to figure it all out. But I need my bike to scare the shit out of me. Although I have no desire to go over 90 km/h. Could someone tell me what to buy, and the order to buy things in. So that I'm not screwing myself or screwing up the bike.!
Because lets face it, Dads toy is on a budget.!

Thanks Guy's, I really appreciate you help and thoughts, on what to do, and how to do it!

My suggestion.. 14 tooth as you mentioned.. Go up a 2 teeth on the rear sprocket.. Power up kit (o2 removal and resistor)without this mod my bike ran like an old dog. Next I suggest you take the boat anchor twin muffler and slip on an FMF pipe. Follow that up with the JD tuner and you should be a happy man..
I have yet to add two teeth to the rear on mine but I feel it needs it cause it takes a while to pull revs in the top 3 gears,then the JD tuner is next.. but as a father of two little ones and other bikes I need to spread it out a little bit.
Enjoy..
 
Put on your 14t cs sprocket. Get the p/u kit. Open up the air box. Get a FMF Powercore 4 exhaust. Make sure there is no free play in your throttle cable. Make sure to set your idle to no less the 1650 rpm. I think you will be much impressed over stock. Of course if you can get it on iBeat, set the TPS and try the CO's with a 5% bump to 105. Mine seems to like 107 across all three CO's.

With removal of the smog stuff, don't just put a vacume nipple on the cyliner port. Remove the brass nipple and plug it properly with plated or stainless steel with loctite. A black allen cap screw will get rusty looking and no one want to see that.

Make sure to remove and coat the rear axel adj. bolts with anti seize the first time you have the back wheel off.
 
I'd skip the PU kit and go straight to a Power Commander V. It comes w/ its own resistor plug to replace the PU plug. The PC-V straight out of the box was nuts on for my bike. It dyno'd a rough looking 40-42hp with PU and jumped to a nice smooth 47-48hp with PC-V.

Many are also happy w/ the JD Tuner. I'm sure you can get the same hp results on a dyno w/ it but it will require a little more trial and error. The PC-V was plug and play.
 
I do not have any piggy back fi tuners so I can't speak of there performance, but a Power Commander with auto tune is in the $500 range I think. Being on a budget, and if you are wanting to spend approx. $500 on your 630 I think the FMF Powercore 4 is the way to go. 14lbs less then the stock twins and runs SO much better. We have the FMF's on two TE 630's and they are well worth the money. In my unprofessional opinion I think twin exhaust are better suited for a SM that can be ran with out spark arrestors. I recall reading reading twins are better for top end while a single exhaust is better for bottom end. I think most TE guys will want the bottom thump more then the screaming top end.
 
Thanks Guy's, I really appreciate your opinions. KEEP THEM COMING:) .! At lest now I know where to concentrate my efforts.

So I guess the census is...
1st, 14 tooth sprocket......42 tooth when the chain needs replacement.
2nd get rid of the emissions stuff.
3rd, I beat the stock engine. If still not happy, then buy a Power commander V. Or a PU kit. Or get a JD tuner and play with it myself.
Am I correct in saying that.???
4th exhaust,....... And I love the look of the two pipes. And fire is not a concern because it is either rain, fog or snow all the time. Last year we had 35 days of sun.!:rolleyes:

Or do I have to have an after market exhaust before PCV,PU,JD TUNER.???:confused:

You guys are saving me such a head ache, I might get some riding in next month.!
 
If you´re on a tight budget (financial and/0r time wise), here´s my list of thigs that have to be done, down to thing you can do:-
1. P/u plug (cheapest and most effective add-on) and you´ll see the difference immediately.
2. JD tuner (easy to install and easy to operate and not all that expensive ... less than the Power Commander and easier to fit and use).
3. Arrows and ECU (expensive!)
4. Open up airbox (and then re-set fuel/air with the JD)
5. Sprocket (whatever suits your riding style)

All these improvement can be felt straight away by the seat of your pants.
 
$300 would buy you the PU Kit, a 14 tooth front sprocket and the JD Tuner, the canisterectomy and labyrinth removal is free. You pretty much have to take off the tank to do either the JD or the PU kit so you might as well do both at the same time and then be set up with the JD Tuner for any more performance modifications as budget allows.
 
Most everyone is all hot to replace the exhaust. I happened to like the twin cans, they are nicely made of good materials, and the molded in gunsight logo in the end caps are just cool. We have a thread on removing the cats and the muffler section and replace with straight perf pipe, which converts them to straight thru glass packs, drops about 5lbs, and opens up the flow. Just a shade louder than stock. Cost is about $25 and a about an hour per can.

Being the cheap bastid that I am, I have run mine three thousand miles like this with the PU kit and airbox baffle removed - and that's it. It starts and runs perfectly, and has more than enough power. I can see that the top end must lean out because the pull tapers off over about 5500. So I'm sure a JD tuner would fix that and give me a bump all the way across the range. I should just breakdown and get one...think I will. ;)

Stock gearing is 15-42, so going 14-44 or 45 makes first gear really low. Nice for crawling offroad. The gears are so wide and 6th so tall you'll still have a 65-70 cruise no problem.
 
Amen on the 14-45 gearing. I'm now at 15-45 and first gear is still too high for crawling over rocks at low speed or picking your way over obstacles in first. As CJ sez, 6th is so tall that cruise will still be more than adequate.
 
14/45 is perfect for me. 1st is low enough for single track and 6th is tall enough for any sane cruising speeds. My outgoing DRZ400 would do one or the other.
