  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 cutting out when hot

I feel bad because I don't contribute anything to this forum except questions... and everyone here has been really badass about answering them. Here goes another one lol.

The last 2 times I've taken my TE449 out to the woods it runs like a champion until it reaches a certain temperature.... then it starts cutting out in the middle of the RPM range. It sounds like its bouncing off the rev limiter or is running out of gas... if you keep on the throttle it'll rev past it. Shutting the bike off and letting it cool down alleviates the problem, but it quickly comes back once it heats up again.

I'm still running the stock exhaust with racemap 2... I read somewhere that the catalytic converter can make it run too hot? I have engine ice in the radiator and had put in a brand new spark plug before this last time out so i know those aren't the problems. Any help would be appreciated guys, seriously thank you so much. This forum has been a godsend.
 
Mine did what sounds to be the same thing it would run all day on the road but a short while after I was on the trails it would start acting like you stated. It ended up being the coil was bad it tested fine cold but I guess in the tight stuff it was getting to hot. I changed it with one that I had got in a lot deal off of eBay and problem solved. Can't tell you for sure if that is your problem but could be worth looking in to.

Definitely going to look into that... The coil had been on my mind as a possible culprit. I just hate throwing parts at it.
 
Temp sensor is problematic in the hot stuff. Also with the stock pipe it does run hot. You might be boiling your fuel as the header runs right under the front tank with the fuel pump in it. I suggest testing the sensor though once they fail, they usually just die. The solution for you might be going to get a $20 roll of exhaust wrap and self adhesive heat shield material. I experienced this issue in the slow gnar even with the Akro TXC slip on. The wrap did the job on the pipe and have not needed to add the heat shield to the tank yet, though most just do both and forget about it. Much cheaper than a coil too.
