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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC New to Husqvarnas & have ECU mapping questions

Hi all,

I'm excited to join the Husky gang! I just sold my '12 WR450F last week & bought a new leftover '15 Husky FE350 (non "s") which I take delivery on later this week. I'm trying to figure out which path to take between a JD Jetting Power Surge 6X Tuner or a remap from Tokyo Mods (http://www.tokyomods.com/), so please bare with the detail below.

I'm in North TX, started riding dirt bikes 2 years ago, we ride mostly trails consisting of sand, rocks, some hard pack, rocky hill climbs and tight woods single tracks. I'd categorize myself at the lower end of an intermediate rider now.

When I got the WR, I added the FMF Megabomb & Powercore 4 slip on. Needless to say I had to remap the fuel/ignition, I installed the GYTR ECU & used the GYTR tuner to get the bike to run the way I wanted it to, ultimately programming it once to match the exhaust mods and really never touched it again unless it was super muddy (remember, I do not race)...all very simple & very effective.

Moving on to the FE350...

I decided to go with the Husky because of it's (and KTM's) reputation for being a great bike for the type of riding I do & the WR was a killer (top heavy) after a few hour in the conditions I ride and in the 100 degree plus temps we ride in at times (I hope I don't miss the 450 torque too much). I'm going to install a Rekluse EXP Core, FMF Megabomb & factory 4.1 slip on. My dealer under no circumstances will upload the EU map to the bike and I cannot find anyone local that will. I know with the exhaust mods I'm going to at least need to run a little richer & from my conversations & what I've read on this forum and others I'm going to want a little more bottom end grunt (especially after coming off of a 450).

MY QUESTION: Should I have Tokyo Mods (or any other places you can recommend) load a MX map for modified exhaust or go with the JD Jetting Tuner? I am aware that the JD Tuner does not manipulate the ECU itself, rather it intercepts the ECU's signals and modifies them.

I appreciate any help you can provide and any other suggestions you have for me with this bike.

THANKS!

Not familiar with Tokyo mods, but Munn racing will flash your ECU and they are in TX. I'm not sure how far it is from you in Dallas, but you can just mail the ECU to them if it makes more sense.

No experience with JD tuner, but if you are going to do piggy back fueling controller, I would not mess around with something that limited, and just get a PowerCommander V. Both (Euro map or PCV) are decent options. The Euro map reflash will cost a lot less and you will be done, but the PCV will have more flexibility and ability to optimize what you want. Ideally you should do both! The piggyback controllers will only mess with fueling, the Euro map will have different ignition tweaks as well, plus you can run the 3 position switch with the Euro map that offers 3 different ignition maps (mild for greasy conditions, stock, and wild) if that is appealing to you.

Thanks! I just spoke with Munn, they're less than 2 hrs away from me. The mild/wild/stock selector is what got me down this rabbit hole in the first place. I think I'll start with the EU Map reflash and the selector switch then go from there. Tokyo Mods is in SoCal, closer to you, they do work on some of the SX/MX factory team bikes, Justin is knowledgeable and will answer you questions if you call him.
 
Vortex X10, if you need more info, contact Richard from Vortex directly via email as he developed the mapping for the 350 from his own Berg FE350.

Damn you and that tokyomods link... it got me researching Vortex ECU... seems very interesting. SXF intake cam, 365cc kit, Vortex ECU... hmmm... seems mega power everywhere bliss is just a couple steps away.

Maybe I can sell my ECU with EU mapping to help recover some costs. Had I known more about it I may have just gone the Vortex ECU route from the beginning

Sorry :rolleyes:...the Vortex is nice if you race, I can't justify the price for myself. now I have to decide between Munn & Tokyo. I spoke to Munn, they can load the EU map for $195.00. Tokyo doesn't load the EU map, but claims their MX for modified exhaust map will give me all the EU map does but will have better bottom end throttle response, his map will also allow for the selector switch to be used and for $99.00.
