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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Switching TE 499 2011 wiring harness for TC 449 2011

Hi, well i recently crashed my te 449 and im almost done fixing it all, and then i had a thought changing my te into a tc as i dont ride it on road anymore and wanted a lighter bike with out all the te extras, so i was wondering if i get a tc plastics kit and a tc wiring harness so i didint have all the wiring for the things im not running anymore will this work?? thanks
 
It will work, but there will not be a plug for the secondary butterfly motor controller, nor the secondary throttle position sensor. Order a TC ecu as well. It will have better mapping and ignition curves too.
 
The TC ecu & wiring was my original question to you, Tinken, to try and improve the mapping using factory parts :) I am not having a dig at you, buy your answer then was why I fixed mine with the TE system.
Guess we've both learned a little in the 12 months since.

Eli, you would be able to stay with the TE throttle body & just remove the 2nd butterfly plate from the shaft & run it like a TC.

You have to have the TC ecu or it will fail. Less about learning and more about actually doing. DM - it would be cheaper and superior to add in a pcv than to order a TC ecu, your situation is different than Eli's. And yes, you're having a dig at me, again.
 
Actually I wasn't.
I wanted to run all factory gear with TC ecu and was prepared to pay more than pcv prices for it at the time.
Glad you guys went ahead and did it/were doing it.
Glad it works.
