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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Properly tuned these are not slow unresponsive bikes or maybe I just have a really good one.
Damm,just tried to bid on that but the seller wont do international shipping.
my next step is the te ecu, is it really make a big difference rdtcu. Should i search for arrow ecu before than a te ecu.
Maybe consider re-gearing the rear sprocket to pull a few more RPM's in sixth .Put my JD Kit on the 610 this morning and it makes a fair bit of difference.
Worth the money and effort getting one imported to the UK.
What settings are people running ? Mines currently at the recommended values from JD.
I've got Leo Vince pipe and Power up kit fitted.
Is there any way to get more top end? I find 5th gear pulls pretty well but as soon as it goes into 6th the bike just wants to sit at the current speed or creeps up pretty slowly.
You guys on this post who have fitted a PC-V with a autotuner add on have you had the bike dyno,ed.I have Arrow husky pipes with ecu,p/u on my SMS 630.Going to fit a EHS Filter over winter,but dont know whether to opt for JD Tuner or PC-V with autotune.I am miles away from a dyno so want simpliest best option with power gain.Then some sticky tyres![]()
Thanks guys JD Tuner it is over winter months,with a EHS Filter kit and some Cont Attack tyres or some road Maxxis Goldspeed pre- cut slicksI have a PC-V , I did not go with the auto tune due to talking with many people who had no adjustments to make to the stock tune after putting their bike on a Dyno. I however could not get my bike to stay running with the PC-V stock tune. I also tried the Leo Vince tune and have had little luck with it. I have had a lot of stalling and cutting out with mild power. It felt stronger prior to installing it. I have contacted Powercommander and they are having me double check everything. One of the biggest problems I have with the auto tune feature is that when you put your bike on a Dyno and then put a fan in front of it which should simulate riding down the road, the wideband O2 readings go all wacky. I feel like one good tune should be enough. I am dis appointed that PC did not do more research. One of the tunes is for a TE and the other is for a European spec SMS. What about those of us in America? My SMS came stock with the PU kit and no octopus emissions can. I have heard that a TE ECU is the way to go, then adding a JD tuner makes for dramatic HP increase. I would ( IMHO ) recommend getting the JD tuner and not risking $500.00 in the PC and auto tune just to have the bike still need tweaking. I know you will need to adjust the JD without a Dyno but you can make a ride down the street and stop to adjust, not needing a lap top would be ideal for your situation. Good Luck, Steve
