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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Will not idle (TPS odd readings)

I have a 2009 TE310 that quite possibly has more than one problem. The history is this, last time I rode the bike it had an intermittent fault, not pulling cleanly at low revs, during the day it coughed and spluttered a couple of times proving difficult to pull away from standstill, however the last hour of the ride it rode fine!!
This was several months ago and I haven't ridden since, I went to fire it up this week and it ran like a bag of nails and wouldn't tick over and anything below 1/4 throttle it would cut out, it sounded much like the fuel mixture was way off.
I initially tried to adjust the tick over screw and this had no effect at all!
So over the last couple of days I have been through all the electrical connector blocks, cleaned the contacts and sprayed wd40, adjusted valve clearances, drained the fuel tank, removed the throttle body and cleaned where I can, there was a brown sludge in the tick over/air screw orifice. I only have a normal torx set (not security type) so couldn't clean behind the potentiometer.
So after all was as good as I could get I set about checking the EFI on the Ibeat, I will add that the bike did seam to run slightly better but still wouldn't idle.

Initial settings were;
TPS value 962Mv
WOT 103.1%

From this start point I tried to achieve the figures stated in the posts read on this forum in the range of 996-1026Mv to give me a WOT 100.4%, this I did by adjusting the hard stop, results were as below.

1st attempt was to screw in 1 full turn which gave me 1006Mv & 102.3% WOT
2nd attempt was to screw in 1 1/4 turns which gave me 1021Mv & 101.8% WOT
3rd attempt was to screw in 1 1/2 turns which gave me 1030Mv & 101.5% WOT

So I concluded that I was not going to achieve the desired 100.4% without going way out of the Mv range, the bike didn't run any better than with the original setting of 103.1%.

Am I missing something, have I done something wrong? Why would the setting be so far off, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Steve
