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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

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??
 
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.
 
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.

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.
