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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Potential MOSS substitutes

We really need these guys to make a version of their tool for TR http://www.hexcode.co.za/products/gs-911 ...

Sorry for hijack. Keeping my fingers crossed for you !

I Contacted the HexCode people and they got back to me very quickly and this is what they said about the possibility of the tool for the Strada/Terra

Actually they use different control modules as far as I am aware... We've had someone try.. and it definitely does not work out of the box... however, as soon as someone supplies us with a harness and control units, we can start testing on it... so if you know of a crash bike.. let us know... spread the word and I'm sure we'll find one somewhere, ...some time...

best,

We need to know the location of 'hexcode' before we could get bikes to them - city/country/providence.

They are in South Africa. They need a donor bike as it will take time to develop.
Mine's still dead, hummm

Not too far from Cape Town:

Sadly, I am unclear how many TR650's were sold there.. Any other vendors for those types of products on ADV?

I'm splitting this topic off of the SOS thread.
 
Ha! I never thought I'd have a connection between my old VW and my new Husky. Ross-tech does exactly what your looking for, but on volkswagen/audi cars. VW has their own proprietary diagnostic tool (VW's "MOSS"), and ross-tech makes a third party version that's more affordable for enthusiasts.

I got the same reply from them yesterday. At least they are interested in making one!
 
I am probably the "someone" who tried to use my 911 ( hexcode unit) that I had for my F800R. The Husky( BMW on the cap) connection got me a good connection but couldn't read the ECU info properly and wouldn't recognize the model ( from the VIN) when I was trying to add the husky to my allowed bikes. Could get some info but not much from the unit. It is a Magnetti Marelli unit . They need a TR ECU unit they can interrogate the hard way and I am in Oz and they are in South Affrica so I aint sending my unit. I really hope they get it working though as it is a very useful tool for the BM.
Ain't it amazing what connections you find on world wide forums.
 
In fact there was a Strada badly damaged and replaced instantly with new one. Krussell's ?? I wonder where is it now, who owns crashed bikes ? Insurance company ? And what they did with it ? Sold for parts? Scrapped altogether? Anywhere it is, can be tracked and internals bought out... I even would be interested to take part fInancially in forming a common fund to buy back the ECU and harness. Knowing how 911 tool works, I believe its worth a try.
