  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 just bought a new 2013 TE 511 and want to insatll a FMF Power Core slip on. I am having trouble setting the stock header with the slip on. Has anyone had trouble with this issue. I know it should be a tight fit, but.... I know I sound an idiot but any ideas? Would using A lubricant work? Thanks.
 
It is a tight fit. I had to loosen my header bolts. I used some high temp sealant at the joint, which helps act as a lubricant while you are sliding the muffler onto the header. I put it on in a twisting motion. Also, once the muffler was on, the middle and rear mounts didn't really line up as well as I thought they should. In the end, I got it on and it has been great so far.
 
So I did 80 miles of fire cuts and single and 2 track at the Hammer Run dual sport ride today in south Jersey.

1st gear riding was a problem for me. If I chopped to zero throttle and pulled in the clutch my speed stayed the same. Me the engine and the bike didn't slow down until I played with the clutch lever pulling it in and letting it out. Only happened in 1st gear.

I am writing this here because I put on the powercore4 and adjusted the idle screw a 1/2 turn faster. Once I had the throttle issue I slowed the idle down but throttle issue persisted. I ended up mostly riding in 2nd gear to compensate.

I talked to another husky rider and he thought it might be a TPS issue.

It is a 2012 TE449. Help please! No engine braking no slowing down and high revs! Is this what a 2 stroke feels like?
 
One more question. I didn't count the turns for the stock setting of the idle screw. Does anybody know the stock setting?
 
Mike, according to the manual, the screw should be used to adjust the idle to 1850-1950 rpm's. Obviously there is no tach, so I just adjust mine by ear. The dealer is supposed to have a diagnostic tool to set it properly. You may have the idle set a little too high, which would give you no engine braking. My bike doesn't have a lot of engine braking anyway, but I'm used to it. My last bike was a CRF450R, and they have minimal engine braking. Somebody on cafe husky has posted the stock setting for the screw in "turns out", but I can't remember who it was. If I find it, I'll let you know.
 
Great thanks Makis.

I saw the Rpm adjustment but would like to try to work on it myself, hopefully successfully!
 
If memory serves I think it's all the way in then back out 2 1/2 turns is spec, in the post he mentioned backing out an additional 1/8th turn as per
his dealer's recommendation. Forget who posted it, one of our Aussie friends I think. Be careful with that screw. When I was playing with mine
when turning in it came to a sticking point where it felt like it might have been all the way in but it was only like one full turn in. I was able to get past it
but I'm not sure if was meant to go further in or not so I didn't try. Just didn't look right but haven't had any problems except for the occasional flame outs
which I don't know if I'll ever be able to cure.
 
Thanks jerbear610.

Did you end up turning it all the way in then out 2 - 1/2 plus an 1/8 or did you just go a little past the resistance and compensate for the difference?
