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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Surge + limp mode [solved, so far]

Hi,

Long story short, after I put to much oil in my TR (1/2 liter, did not read the instructions properly, my bad), the bike went into Limp Mode. Before that, in two years I had experienced many surges.
I bought a OBD1 to OBD2 cable, a Unicarscan Device and a full licence of Motoscan that showed me an error with the TPS (throttle position sensor). Measurements with the ohmmeter were not totally conclusive, but a new TPS (found in UK) solved instantly the problem. The bike seems to run ok now (though I just did a short test ride].
I still don't know if the oil overspill (immediately taken care of) has something to do with it, but I found a small quantity of oil splattered in the airbox... I guess the TPS was already worn (because of the surges).

Edit : I did a lot of researches, but I could not find any equivalent of this TPS that would be cheaper (paid 80 £+ VAT+shipping). But TPS of same size and shape are found on many BMW cars and bikes under different reference numbers.
