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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

te511 problem?

Thanks spud im gona try those settings too?

B3NO- the brass screw is air mixer i thinks? anyway just wind it in all the way and come out 2 1/2 turns
thats what i found works ok? if its no good just come out a bit more...
 
This past weekend I rode my 2011 TE511 on the 1W17 Redonda Ridge Trail in Southern California about 8.1 miles, 5PM in the afternoon, cool about 72 deg. Awesome trail ride!
During the ride on the Redonda Ridge Trail 3 failures when I needed instant power response from the TE511 on the 1W17 trail to clear rock face or deep rut and found myself with a big surprise! I had to let off the throttle and hit the throttle again! What I call a Dead Throttle response on the TE449 / TE511.

To compound the trouble, the constant hill/ Rock climbing, low to mid speed trail riding the bike reached about 202 Deg during some sections and seem to start loading up when you needed power the most and stalled allot. Should start a new thread on this issue! I learned allot talking to some well known Pro's around Southern California why this happens!

After my 1 hour solo trip, I blasted back to camp. During the 7 mile return from Crab Flats to Big Pine, about 7 times hitting the throttle to Rip out of a corner the TE511 failed to respond on very quick 1/2 to 3/4 throttle rotations! I was trying to stick some Corners and practice railing some turns! That's a really bad average for a TE 511 2011 bike that is only a year old this month!

Trips across Johnson Valley, Anza Dual Sport Ride, Bishop Dual Sports, Trips to Ocotillo Wells, Big Bear Dual Sport Rides Day and Night Same Issue. When you really crack the throttle to lift the front end off the ground to save your tail from a Rut or climb a rock face my EFI TE511 should give me the power quickly, however the bike responds with a dead throttle until you return to idle and hit the throttle again! Very Random I must add!

I have seen this No Throttle Response issue on the TE511 over the past year of my Ownership with no real solution.

Next weekends trip, I will purchase an additional GoPro, bolt this on the handle bars just to monitor the throttle action and sound response from the bike on my next ride! Since this will be one of those cannot duplicate issues, GoPro works great to cancel those type responses from the dealers! Every time this happened during past rides I am looking forward and trying to dig my tail out of a situation and the helmet GoPro has not captured these problems to date! I will fix that!

For those mechanical questions everyone is asking:
This specific 2011 TE511 Bike has returned recently from Malcolm Motorsports and I was told all the problems were solved this time!

My 2 cents on the TE511:
Most of us paid allot of money for our bikes and the solutions outlined in every forum for the TE449 TE511 troubles are, Race Map 2 jumpers and expensive aftermarket Parts that will void your manufacture warranty. Under these conditions why doesn't the manufacture have solution or have recalls to these well documented problems listed all over many different forums and provide solutions that work?
 
I was the store in lucerne valley ca this weekend and talking to another motorcycle fan, he owns a te511 and has experienced the same issue.
Fix for this????
 
In order to pass emissions, the TE's run way too lean for normal operation. Adding power up plug helps this problem. If you have a warranty related issue, just unplug the power up plug first...

I believe it still shows up on the ECU that you ran it in power up mode. Personally i think the power up mode should be done ASAP as running a motor that lean is BAD.

Agreed,
However in every post around the web, talking to dealers and other husky owners, the stalling solution for tail riding for the TE511/449 in CA is the power up Plug. This gets back to my previous comments. Why on earth should we pay so much money for a bike have to install aftermarket parts and/or a power up plug to make the bike run properly for the intended purpose. Dual Sports!

If the jumper was to gain only added performance then YES we should not install unless you plan to race and need the performance!
 
I found an oil drain plug @ Autozone yesterday, 12mm X 1.2. $3.99 and fits the O2 sensor hole. They sell copper gaskets too. I wonder if they run better without that silly thing?

Same issue, rode 60km of fire trails with my son, plenty of erosion mound jumps and lost throttle about 5 times right at the critical point where you need it to launch off the top of the mound.
The mounds were pretty stacked up and close together, it seemed like repetitive throttle chopping exacerbated the issue?

Installed PC5 with autotune on my bike last week, been riding and testing, haven't lost the throttle since?
Taking it back out onto the same trails today to see how it goes.
 
@Smooman - Did you have your dealer flash the 2012 ecu maps onto your 2011 or were you running '11 ecu maps with your JD tuner?

Great input smooman. Could you send more details on your full configuration of the bike. Year Version of the ECU. Operating "ODT" Outdoors temperature, pipe, riding conditions, hours in the ride?
Some have reported the Auto-tune corrects one issue with the bike running leaner and leaner as everything including fuel heats up.

Anyone have there throttle sticking at all.
Sometimes after riding it hard and come to a stop, clutch in and rev it, it sticks for about 3 seconds.
Anyone else have this problem?
