'13 TE 310 long term ....

I have not updated this thread as had a year and a half of health issues and then fires and floods closing our access locally. In any case was able to get out today, as we now have some access again. The 310 still runs like a champ. Only a few changes. A year and a half ago Ty rebuilt the engine as I had developed a head gasket leak evident by losing coolant. I am back running mousses as I just prefer not to stress flats. Nitro Mousses and Scorpion Pros (much better fit than my last combo). They feel great front end seems to steer through the rubble nicely. Running the red ZipTy coolant and other than that, cooling fan seems to be working now and bike reliably starts up right away on a 2+ yo EarthX or a kick.

Hi... Why this modification? This eliminate the tube since the top of the chasis to the back/bottom part of engine?
What about the filter in this part?

Yes. Removes that hose fitting at rear of sump and filter remains.

So how many miles/hours are you up-to now?

Not sure on hours. 4,200 dirt miles.

I just picked up a 2013 TE 310 from another member here on Cafe Husky just two weeks ago. Going though some past threads and he also did the Zip Ty mod. Looking forward to getting to know this baby red head.
