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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Ignition module swapping

This is a general question about swapping ignition modules on 2 strokes. Do you have to adjust timing if you swap ignition map modules? I'm putting an '08 KTM 125 SX CDI module on an '09 KTM 150 SX because I've read it prevents detonation. The KTM snobs on KTM talk won't respond to my question... probably since I've alienated myself trashing the pumpkins in favor of Husky! :lol: I think the TXC 250 hand start video sealed my fate over there! :lol:
 
The ignition module (CDI or ECU) sets the ignition timing/curve, unless there is a separate ignition timing module...not likely.

Sounds like the 09 module retards the ignition timing advance to reduce detonation.

I laughed hard at the hand start video! Loved it.

Thank you sir! That's what I was thinking, but I'm too dumb to actually know for sure. FYI, I'm thinking of releasing a "hot start" video as a follow-up to my first vid. I've actually "hand started" the TXC hot several times just to see. I may fry an egg on the manifold to prove it's "hot" :D.
 
since the ignition is the same on 125 and 150 it'll surely work. but the 150 surely has a different ignition curve than the 125, so i don't know if it'll work well.

i would go to an tuner who has the device to programm the ecu and upload the new curve into the old ecu.

Would you happen to have a link to this on ktmtalk. I can predict the reaction but it sounds funny anyway.

It only lasted a few hours before it got pulled.
