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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

te449 2013 starting problem when hot

Hi there. I am new to this forum and this sport so first of all 'hello'
I recently bought a 2013 te449. It had only 17 he's so I think it was a good buy. While the engine is cold it starts up first push of the button and rings smoothly. On my first ride in the bush, after about 30 to 40 min we straddled the engine and could not restart it with the starter. We eventually managed to push start it and all was fine. At home I took out the battery thinking it was flat but my charger indicated it was full . I measured the voltage and it was 12.9v. So I installed the battery again and it put puts along as if nothing happened. The engine was cold by that time again. So now I am a little hesitant to go out again before this issue is fixed since it took a fair effort to get it going again but I also do not have a clue where to start my fault finding mission. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
Let me bump this to the top. It was in moderator mode. Could it be that I just need a more powerful battery? Has anyone experience with the ssb lithium batteries? They seem to be the major brand here in OZ. Thanks
 
I have the same problem with my 2011 TE449. It is not starting when hot. Did you find out where is a problem?
 
There are a few things you should try. First, perform a TPS reset. A quick search here on the Cafe will give you lots of info. Second is making sure you have the best map on your ECU. You need to have the full Akro map AKA Map 3. These bikes are very lean so even if you have stock exhaust, it will benefit from this richer map.

Last, you pegged it. These bikes just don't like to start hot with the stock battery. The benefit of more cranking power and much lighter weight are well worth the cost of the upgrade.

Our 449/511 bikes are very popular in OZ so you have lots of resources down there including a Facebook group that is mostly Aussie. https://m.facebook.com/groups/219900571553501?view=info&refid=18&ref=m_notif&notif_t=group_activity
