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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Tank Vent 2013 te511

So I took my 2013 te511 on my first tight single track. I was having a blast until My bike would lose power and die out. Like I was losing fuel or a dirty filter. Long story short I noticed the PO capped the right side breather hose at the fuel fill. one day after this ride, I opened the gas cap there was plenty of suction. I am assuming this was the problem. However. I rode the bike last fall on some pretty open logging roads, and I rode it this winter with a timbersled kit on it. I never had any problems then, and the vent was capped off then too! I am going to test it out later today, but I am a bit nervous. I ended up leaving my bike on the trail yesterday. Bike has fmf Map3 from zipty and emissions canister removed. Why would it do this now and not then?????
 
A similar situation for me. There is a cap on the breather, but it comes like that from factory. I believe it is just so dirt cannot go in.
I had a timbersled on my 2012 this winter. Now the power seems way down with the wheels back on. Bikes starts and runs fine.
Half to full throttle, not much response, I did the TPS reset, as I was having a high idle also. No improvement. The searches say to try the TPS connector, as it can corrode.
Maybe more moisture at this location with the snowbike setup ? Let me know if you found the solution !

yep- that's your problem. the vent is on the right side of the filler/cap, not on the cap itself (& the vent is for BOTH tanks). Crack the cap, ride home. Route a vent tube on it that goes to the front of the bike and higher than the cap ( go ahead and put it through the steering stem).

you're either probably tightening the cap more now (btw, the stock cap is famous for fu*king up the threads on the filler neck) or the stupid vent cap that the PO put on is more leak-proof now (filled w/ dust??)
 
I added my nomad tank and connected it to the breather. My bike was having trouble starting until I disconnected it, after that... no more problems

did you still have your 1-way valve connected from the vapor recovery system? ...that would do it. (edit: it's a 2-way valve. but still...)
