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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What is the Race Map II and how is it plugged in?

I feel like such an idiot but I can not find any info aside from the manual for the old TE's outlining what the Race Map II button is......how do you plug it in and what needs to be done? I literally understand nothing about this bike aside from how to ride it and change the oil. I used to have a yz250f that I did just about everything to it on but this is a whole different animal lol
 
There's a plug/jumper you get with the bike (if not can be bought for $10), you plug it into the socket under the seat near the ECU. Dash then shows Race Map II when the bike is running.
 
Take off the seat. You will find the ecu between the two top frame trails. The jumper goes into a plug with a dust cap. Easy to find as its two wires plugged into nothing. It will not show Race Map II until you start it.
 
dealer gave me mine with my bike, said they were a few bucks otherwise. installs in about 2 seconds as described above.
 
Map I is very lean and especially for making the bike pass Draconian emmissions laws. :thumbsdown: It uses the O2 sensor in the headpipe to calibrate. MapII is a more rich, usable setting that makes it run stronger and smoother.
 
I can't say for sure as I have tried my best to not go with a secondary programmer. I would assume though that modification of MapII is what most people are doing since it's mush closer to the perfection many seek to begin with.
 
Just as an update to those reading this, you shouldn't run another programmer without the race map plug in as the O2 sensor will fight back any changes you try to make to the ecu, the autotune for the powercommander that would fit into the te449 12mm header slot would be around $1200 as you'd be getting an indy car autotune.....lol.....or you could weld the regular autotune on......

Do I need this if I have a power commander on the way?

No.

You do not need an auto tune. And with the PCV, you would unplug your oem sensor and cap your header off with a 12x1.25 oil drain plug.
 
Race map two is for wet conditions and adjusts the mapping to reduce power output.

Oops, on the TE 310 that is... Just noticed you have a 449...:doh:
 
hey tinken i thought of that(drain plug in header) but sort of wanted to leave the O2 sensor on, your right about the autotune seems almost too much for what it'd provide
got my TE449 dynoed today for about 2 hours, we got 47.89hp and 31.62lbs ft. torque but the bike stock was getting 44hp-30.11lbsft. with just the race map and the fmf pipe so I'm wondering if the pc-v isn't overkill however the bike finally feels right stock with just the fmf pipe and O2 sensor on it nailed 38.09 hp and 30lbsft. torque I can post some of the maps once i get them e-mailed to me if anyone is interested in seeing
only thing i could add about the pc-v is it got ride of the excess fuel being burned so all the pops and backfires were removed.......although i really enjoy the sound of those nasty pops and backfires......:banghead:
also I spend $150 to have it "dynoed" is that relatively expensive or reasonably priced?
