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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

"13 te 310r

I have to say that I'm very disappointed with my 310r after today's antics. After owning and having no real mechanical issues with a wr 125,250,300 and a te250 I thought that buying a brand new 310 I'm laughing. After running her in for 10hrs and changing oil and filters on both 4 and 8 hrs and again on ten ( before I raced her today). I entered the bwlchciliau enduro a few weeks ago £60, £25 fuel for race, £30 diesel to get to event and a 0530 wake up to travel to event. I arrived at event feeling good and until 1.5 laps I was we'll happy and impressed with the overall performance of the bike and was getting into the race. Then the antics started it started running like a pig coughing and spluttering, I then nursed her back to the check sparring a few minutes. The bike then stalled so I tried the estart it turned engine but would not fire, so I then tried the kickstart this didn't work either, my minute came in so I pushed it across the check so that I wouldn't incur a time penalty ( this didn't feel good at all) I then tried estart again but it just made a spinning not an in-gauging sound, so then I tried kick start and it was solid and would not kick. So then my heart sank, I kicked down stand walked over to the time keeper and reluctantly handed my time card in ( ending my event). My issue is that I've bought a new bike to have no mechanical issues but on my first event on it, it's let me down costing me quite a lot of expense, time and embarrassment.
I have noticed on here tonight on later posts that there has been a recall for this problem.
I'm gutted that I didn't know this before as I could have saved myself some time and money.
Now how the hell do I get this sorted now that the old husky isn't about.
Cheers
Not a very happy

And so you do not incur excess frustration, don't stop there, make sure they adjust the exhaust valve that actuates the decompressor. I had all recall stuff done and was no help. In the end tightening that valve solved it. .Mine was in spec but the loose end of spec. No issues since then, 2 months ago and some hard varied use. Kicks easily now and never has locked up as before.
 
Thanks guys. I've got in touch with a local dealer and they're more than happy for me to take bike over to them. The dealer which the bike came from tells me that the recall work had been done. Strange that really because when I explained the symptoms to the guy (where the bike will be going to be fixed ) the first thing he said was sounds like the recall hasn't been done. I guess we'll sound see when I take it to him.
 
As Johnrg says the exhaust valve is critical ..it needs to be at the tight end of spec (or even a bit tighter).
