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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE449/511 - Do people with PCV still get the 'dead throttle'

Most of us with the TE449/511 have experienced the 'dead throttle' issue.
Even with map3 and jd tuning and a proper air fuel ratio, the problem still happens from time to time.

I'm wondering if the PCV would eliminate it completely.
 
I have not experienced this with PCV, though I have only had it a short time. Bike has never had such smooth
throttle response, easier starting or more power.
 
I have experienced the dead throttle thing a couple times the first year prior to adding the Auto Tune. That isn't bad considering it would occur at least a couple
times per ride pre PCV. I don't know if adding the AT is the reason I haven't experienced the dead throttle thing in months but I think it's safe to say that the PCV
curtailed that issue bigtime. It's hard for me to remember what the power was like when my bike was stock but it's definitely way more responsive and powerful now.
The only reason I ended up getting a PCV was the dreaded and potentially deadly flame-outs. It has fixed that so I'm content.
