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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No Start after TXC ECU Installation

I finally got the time to get the tank back on and button up the bike after installing the TXC ECU and 12-hole injector on my 2012 TE310. When I went to crank it up, it would turn over fine, but not start. I figured no problem, I'll just hook it up to iBeat and reset the TPS and everything will be fine. Well, I did that and still crank but no start. More than a little bummed out after spending $380 for the upgrade. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thanks.

Is the Fuel Pump priming ? Fuel hose on correctly ?

Checked Fuel Pump Relay / Fuse etc... ?

Fuel pump is priming. Hose is on correctly as far as I can tell. Pushed it on until it clicked at both connections. I'll pull the tank tomorrow and double check. Thanks.
 
Couldn't stand to go to bed with the bike not running, so I cracked another beer and headed for the garage. I pulled the plug and checked for spark and it was fine, so I pulled everything else back off an reinstalled making sure fuel and electrical connections were tight. When I turned on the switch afterward, the pump came on, but it didn't have the little gurgling sound it had before, and it fired right up. I must have had a fuel connector not quite right. I thought the bike sounded good after I did the power up, but now it sounds downright mean when you crack the throttle. I've got Sunoco 104 octane racing gas ($12/gallon) in it right now. Other than that the best we have up here is 90 octane at the pump. I think I can richen it up a bit more. Running 105/105/108 per BILLF's recommendations now. I'll play around with it some more tomorrow on iBeat and see what it will do. Thanks for the tip Harv.
 
So if you're not running race gas, will pump gas predetonate or something?

I mean who doesn't love the smell of race gas, but at that price?

Bike needs a minimum of 91 octane. Highest you can get at the pump in Alaska is 90. I'm going to mix race gas with pump gas to bump it up to around 92, but I thought it would be fun to see how it ran on straight 104. You are right...it does smell nice. :thumbsup:
 
I thought we needed 94 octane? I cant remember if thats RON or AKI? Race computer runs more advanced ingition curves too, definately dont want to skimp on on fuel quality.
I buy a can of 110 race gas and mix it with 91 pump gas 1 to 4 ratio. Lasts a long time that way.
 
The ignition curves are what's different for sure.

Glad it's going good now. George said if they're a little rich they'll tend to load up around town, stop and go driving. He leaned mine out a bit...just a bit.

Can't remember the #'s on CO 1 2 3. Idles arround 2100 or so. Is that what you found too?

I've got it set at 105/105/108 based on Bill's recommendation. It is idling around 2,100 like you say. Looking forward to warmer weather so I can ride this thing. I've got a few more things I want to do to it first, though. I think a 48 tooth rear sprocket is next on the list.
 
In retrospect a 48 or 50 might be the right one. I'm considering a Rekluse (OK, I ordered it....Romaniacs, here I come) and will do that first before I change the 45 to something else.
