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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lambda in or out for changes in Altitude?

Hi guys,
I am trying to find out if I need the lambda installed to ride from sea level to 10,000 feet above to maintain correct fuelling.

So is anyone riding big changes in altitude with or without it installed and are they having any running problems?

TIA

Fuel injected bikes will do fine from sea level to 10,000 feet. I live in Huntington Beach CA at 50 ft above sea level and ride in Mammoth Lakes fairly often at 7800-9000. Sensor in or out, the ECU will provide the right mix. You'll run leaner and hotter with the O2 sensor in so I'd remove it and install the plug and get the benefit of the richer "race" map on the ECU. Lower mileage yes, by about 20%. Altitude saps power from any engine because the levels of O2 are lower so don't expect the same hp at 10,000 feet, you might be getting around 15-20% less.
 
Thanks Glangston, building up for a trip to Morocco and wasn't sure if fueling would alter without the lambda in, obviously it does :thumbsup:
