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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've got the PC-V + Autotune and the bike seems to be running fine, but I'm still not convinced it works properly in the long run. Seems like I have to occasionally go in and reset the parameters to make it run right. from some of the reading I have been doing is seems the PC-V + Autotune set-up is optimal for street performance, not offroad/single track where there are too many constant changes in throttle position and power output needed for the autotune to function properly.

Primarily I'm interested in seeing how many TE are running Powered up vs Atotuned. I doubt there will be many Stock set ups.

Thanks, Dan
 
09TE450. I have a stock set up in PowerUP mode for 2009/10. Stock exhaust- but with a modified insert that achieves 95db. I leaned the CO settings (98.5, 99, 99.5) and have my TPS set at the standard 100.2% at WOT. My bike runs perfect: in open and in very tight single track. My bike runs perfect in Wisconsin, Michigan, California, and Nevada in 10’F or 95’F weather. I hope to add more tests sites and conditions as soon as I can…

I know some local Husky’s that are in Stock mode and some that are partial: 08TE610- stock, 08TE250 PowerUp, 08TE450-stock, 08TE510 Power up but with CAT stock pipe. ALL with stock ecu setting (lambda installed) report delayed throttle response. I tell them all to fully power up but they just deal with it and I truly believe they have lower expectations than me.

I think having the PCV-AT is more common on TT and CH regulars than non-readers. Due to Modification-Trends. Not knocking them, I believe it’s the easiest, quickest, and for some the only solution. The JDtuner looks very promising as well. I personally do not plan on buying a tuner because I am not experiencing any issues. If I was racing Supermoto I might have to give one a try though- to see if there’s a couple HP hidden somewhere… never know..

I have mine, 09 TE510, in stock strangled mode. Right now I am having some low end power and hesitation issues, but I think that has to do with something else. Before this issue it had a delayed throttle response, but it wasn't too bad. I haven't put it in power up mode because that will void the warranty I have on it. A friend of mine that has a 09 TE450 put his in power up mode and he said that it wasn't running good and seemed like it was running lean, so he put it back to stock. I am not sure which way I want to go with mine just yet.
 
08 TE510 power-up, (includes arrow exhaust) since day 1 and runs 100% perfect. No hesitation, bog or any other unusual issues. 100% satisfided and she rips****************************************

2010 TE 450 in PowerUp mode, not sure what muffler I have but it is very loud, aftermarket Ducati fuel pump, I struggle to get 40mpg, but the bikes is a jet, no bogs, no hesitations, no performance issues at all. When this bike gets on the pipe, I cannot shift the gears fast enough to keep up. I will be riding it up to 10k feet elevation this month (March) and will report back on its performance.
 
Dan,
I know this doesn't belong here, but I am new to cafehusky and not able to pm you. I was also not able to reply in the classified section. I tried to get a hold of you on ADV rider too. I am interested in the IMS tank you have for sale. Could you shoot me an email at cwertz@bham.wednet.edu?
Thanks,
Chad
 
'10 TE 450 with power up, otherwise stock, performs very well, fuel economony (98 octane) absolute crap****************************************!!!
 
Hi Dan,
I am power up (voted) but i needed to do some tweaking of the fueling to get it right.
There were a load of posts somewhere with my settings etc but I cant find them now. I dyno-ed it, great, but had the hesitation at the bottom in the real world. Closed the gap on the first two settings and she was right as rain with no bogging of the bottom.
I have the insert in the pipe end still but its only a couple of inches long. With it removed made it snappier and a lot louder but with no actual power gain.

Mine's a 2010 SMR510, but I voted anyway. PCV/autotune definitely works, but does require some tweaking here and there. I disabled it and had Bill (BMP Salem, OR) check the bike out and he said he thought it ran great. It felt sluggish to me. When I got home I re-activated the Autotune and one ride told me the results were worth it. More power and better delivery.
 
09 TE510 full power up mode all settings still as they came with the bike,for the most part works great only grip sometimes seems like slight hesitation after letting off to set up for turn and then stall when running tighter single track when hot.I'm running 1 tooth up on front from stock,and should try going back down 1 to see if that helps.I have not changed or checked throttle position or settings as I have no software or the cables to do so,although the dealer said once the bike was broken in that there were some setting adjustments that should be addressed.
 
'08 TE510 with PU. Dan at Motoexotica set the CO value(s) so I don't know what they are. The bike runs great. The bike has a crazy amount of low-end to mid-range power. The only nit-pick I have is a off-idle behavior. If I get too aggressive with the throttle off-idle it sometimes does a big POP and dies. I haven't actually had this happen lately, and I'm not sure if it's wrist training or the machine has changed.
 
'09 TE450 with PC, got rid of the auto tune, it rarely worked but when it did the bike would overheat in the tight stuff with it, don't waste your money on an auto tune! I'm happy with the Power Commander alone, IMO it works better than just the PU with less flame out.

...trying not to rant too much about the auto tune...:censored:

I did offer to drive up and take a look at the situation.. before I sold my PC V & Autotune, which were not useful on my 2006 te250 cause it has a carb.. :lol:
