09 TE310 EFI - What to watch out for

I have a work-mate who's just got a great deal on a TE310 for his wife.

He's asked what things to keep an eye out for on it. He's a very clever mechanic but hasn't much exposure to bikes and I'm not familiar with these bikes myself.

I've mentioned the camchain idler shaft bearings as something to watch.....what else guys??

Tell him to baby the clutch, seems that there are no more clutch plates available for this bike...

Ok, I'll pass that on.
Maybe SWM part will fit if that motor is the same one?!?!

The 2009's had a couple of quirks,. E.g. the t piece on the rad hose instead of a y unlike the 2010's, the wiring loom and many connections like on the 450 and 510 suffered poor design and routing, dodgy temp sensors, mine had a water pump seal fail. The swingarm and linkage bearings, especially the lower one seem to deteriorate quickly.There were also a one or two weird defects to the 09 that werent on the 2010, its 5 years ago now since the italian motors went! So I'm struggling to remember. This one might not be correct but maybe the 09 didnt have a rad fan, might wrong.

Thanks for the info.
I'll pass it on.

The 09 and 10 310's had the 50mm marzocchi forks, the red cap 50mms were known to have fork sealing problems. Mine were big headache.

Didnt you figure out you could use CRF clutch plates?

Those plates will fit the 450-510, in another thread, the guy cant find plates to fit the 310

do you know if the CRF250 plates will fit the Husky 310?

Ma

Marzocchi forks don't seem popular here in Aus. I know they're popular to upgrade to in the US but here people seem to want to go the other way & change them out

I've not had any exposure to them myself.
