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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Been lurking for some time now reading various article until my head is spinning. Perhaps someone could help out. I have not ridden in years (15) so I am simply amazed by the technology today.

I have read there are various options to improve the EFI, from switches, to flashing, jumpers, JD tuner and Power Commander.

1. What are the differences between the options (summary).

2. Am I correct that stock bikes have two maps? Standard choke it lean Komifornia mode and Race II mode that is changed with a jumper, switch or by the cat "accidentaly" falling out?

3. As a casual rider would the Power Commander (most expensive) be of any benifit to me as I have no interest in all the tweaking capabilities?
 
With the power up plug the bike runs good / acceptable and is free. With the $40 remap from ZipTy the bike runs fantastic. With the $200 JD EFI controller, which at this point I would only do if it will not take the $40 map upgrade it will run very good. With the PCV it will run fantastic. The PCV gives the most tunability and flexibility, it is the end all solution. If the $40 remap will load on your bike load that and be done with it.
 
I am also a casual rider. I run mine in stock form and it works well for me. I suggest you try it stock and if you need to ramp up from there.

Radar, You dont even use the jumper plug? This would make you very unique.
For the OP, the jumper doesnt come with the 13 models, but any switch you can plug in should work, or the dealer can get you the jumper, or you can make one. It is not a resistor on this model, just a simple jumper.

Yes, no power up plug. I want and need the best MPG. I get 50+. The bike will still climb any hill I am stupid enough to try.
 
Thank you for the replies. I have ridden the bike and I will base my opinions based on my last bike which was a 83 CR480.

While the TE449 pulls like a tractor at low end, everything else is pretty unimpressive. Having watched videos on the bike I can see it's capabilities. In addition, running lean constantly is probably not the best thing for the motor. I can hear the catalytic rattling around. I am pretty sure it will fall out next week. Running lean will be worse when that happens.

So it sounds like a ZipTy remap and a switch is the best option?
 
Even if map3 doesn't work from Zip Ty you don't have to worry about tuning with the Power Commander. In Zip Ty's portion of the forum they have the race maps available for download. Just something to consider
 
JD plus 30 hours of use and mine has gotten stronger. Seems to take 20 hours to really loosen up.
And I havent done the TC airbox mod. Somewhere along the way the mid-top punch got stronger.
 
Haha, Radar is unique, but a very cool guy. A MY13 ecu should flash without any problems. Everything depends on your riding style and preference. I would suggest adding a new silencer rather than trying to decat the stock one. I have been working with Ty to offer a powercommander already set up with the correct race maps included for users who wish a more pain free installation. They will be available from our website soon. Also I have been asked to put together a list of mods for the 449/511s which I will do and make it available where ever appropriate or needed. I will work with Lonny on that one.
 
When you say the pre-programmed Power Commander will be available soon is that days, weeks? I look forward to your mod list. Thank you.

Of course the buy then download option already exists thanks to Tinken posting maps here.
But that is the Android/Windows answer and the Apple option is best for some (maybe many).
