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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The iBeat Thread

I just used iBeat for the first time. It works excellent.
I found out that a previous owner (or dealer) adjusted the co settings already, was set to: 101, 106, 108.
I adjusted it to: 101, 109, 122 (because on the dyno the bike was way too lean at high rpm)

I didn't had the time to ride yet, but do you think it will make a big difference?

Is there a trick to set the TPS? TPS is set at 962, but the sensor was reading 952, should I set it at 952? Or does that difference doesn't make any sense?
 
IMG_20180618_192020.jpg Thats the colour of my plug after 500km,with the FB settings at 105,106,108.My bike is stock exept the pu kit.It runs way better with that FB setting rather the stock one.I was afraid i would choke the bike with too much fuel since my exhaust is stock,but it seems that even with the pu the bike was still lean,and judging by the colour of the plug now and how the bike feels(better),id say that pu itself doesnt do much.How about your plugs guys?Photos and CO or FB setting would be a good old fashion way to see A/F ratios by checking plug colours.

the color of the candle ceramic from a "rough" idea of carburation.
the color does not indicate with absolute certainty the state of the candle because the procedure before reading the color is particular.
It is an ancient system that used 2-stroke engines that used leaded petrol.
today with the different petrol sold in the world it becomes difficult to compare the colors to have "certainties".
so it was and 'remains an inaccurate system that combined with personal experience (if any) can give good results of assessment of the carburetion.
 
Plug looks good to me. The bikes love the extra fuel. I bet the mpg stayed the same and the bike is a lot more fun to ride. Do not be afraid to play with the co numbers and do seat of pants dyno testing.
 
Anybody have a idea that on a bike the has no spark and no injector opening ibeat is not showing a fault ?

Yes now it looks ok for sure.I dare say that the fuel economy is better now,you twist the throttle gently now for the same performance...
 
Hi everyone.
ibeat "throttle position" shows range from 0% to 102,4% (from neutral to full throttel). Expected to see 0% to 100%.
How bad is it? How to fix?
Any help?

no problem. even my butterfly indicates this data. the important is the indication of "0"
 
Hi everyone
Adjusted CO to 102 108 120 as recommended above. Better idling, smother ride, more power etc.
But FB icon inactive, can't open it. What is it for? How to activate?
Need help

if you mount the bypass of the lambda probe, that button does not work. this if you think about it and 'normal .... the probe is no longer' connected to the CDI
 
Rotax655 Hmmm sorry still not cleare. You mean if there is no lamda (in fact I did removed lamda and put 2,2 kohm resistor instead) FB icon normally inactive?
