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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Great feedback on your reply. That's what I'm lookin for.
......but some of us refuse to enter TT on general grounds of trying to advance civilization

I'm a C rider I'll give you my opinion first (and this is with just 4hours on the bike, tops)...the throttle response is instant, probably to instant. No worries about a low RPM burble the bike pulls very strong right off idle. 1st-3rd gear are very tightly spaced. I didn't think I would like at first but works great in the woods. I had a Husky WR250 prior and the gap between 1st and 2nd, 2nd and 3rd in tight woods was to big. Clutch hand was fried in short time. Suspension is on the stiff side I'm 6' 195 without gear. Checked the static and race seg and there both right on!! A friend of mine a AA rider rode the bike for a short time he has a 2013 CRF450 and we both felt the suspension was stiffer on my bike then his!! He was pretty shocked!! However the control is great and it seems to be getting better with each ride. He liked the bike didn't love it. Not a fan of electric start, and the CRF rolled on much smoother. I Didn't think I would like the electric start either but now I'm sold. It feels heavier then his CRF putting it on the stand but lighter in the woods...not by much. I'm hoping Husky or JD or Zip-TY well come out with an ECU mapping device. I think the only thing the bike needs is to come on a little smoother and rev out a little longer and it will be about perfect!! Oh and I have the baffle out of the stock exhaust (have not ridden with baffle in) and I think it still seems restricted an after market exhaust might make a huge difference, but for now it works just fine for me!!.

The FMF Q4 with the powerbomb header is a great combo on the 310. Let's it pull a gear higher out of the turns.

For a 2013? Talked to FMF 2 weeks ago and all they were offering was the slip-on for the '13 since it's the same muffler as the '12 anyway but different header.
The '13 pulls better from down low over the '12 and everyone I put on the bike likes or loves it, only guy to down play it thinks a KTM 500EXC is the best east coast single track bike (anyway) I had my '12 suspension custom tuned and went to the effort of putting my custom '12 forks on my '13 and when I went to roll around on my '12 with the new boingers, it felt as good or better then my re-valved/sprung/tuned KYB's so they are definitely trying to get it great for closed course comptetion right out of the box.
The keihin fuel injection is definitely smoother, I have a G2 throttle tube on mine which allows me to select the throttle cam for the ride/race however it'd be nice to play with mapping a little further, but definitely not necessary.
Just checked the valves and the intakes were both pretty tight and causing it to be hard to start, specially when cold and it's lighting up much nicer now,...although we've had 70 degree temps the past two weeks.
My one A riding buddy called it a "Hero bike" you can get away with alot of flubs on it and still haul the mail making you feel like a hero!!!

I got my '13 txc 310r a couple months ago and it didn't go so well for me. The bike was under powered and the fan kept coming on and is hard to start. To make a long story short it ended up being a faulty temp sensor. The temp sensor tells the ecu that the bike is running hot and puts the bike in limp mode. I'm still having starting problems but the Husky guys say there is a fix for that soon. Other than starting issues this is the best bike I've owned and I've had a lot of bikes. The bike handles perfectly, will go anywhere you want it to go and does nothing stupid. The suspension is good to, it may be a little stiff for some but just go faster and that will fix that. I rode motocross on the suspension and liked it and went into the woods and the suspension was good there too(can't ask for more than that). I highly recommend this bike to anyone even if you do have a couple of problems it's worth it. Also the bike is so easy to ride, it feels like your doing nothing so you don't get wore out. This bike will make you a better faster rider period.

Mine was hard to start as well but after doing the break-in service and checking the valves we discovered the intake valves were definitely on the tight side, re-shimmed and starting is much better now, although we've had a really warm weekend this past weekend too so not sure if weather had a hand in that. I'm going to change out the starter gears as a pre-caution but the issues seems to stem from tight intake valves.

Darin ,
Ive got a tweaked '11 and its awesome so Id imagine you would like the '13 . Mine has a Leo Vince - sounds and looks great - TC air box and Race ECU and injector /. The power is fantastic and smooth yet when its singing - instant response - very sharp
Handling is also great and also has a TTX Ohlins rear shock.
Radiator Fan removed as not needed .
With the reduced weight with shock and pipe its 237 lbs roughly
I had my first ride on the weekend and love it so far - previous owner had no issues with it - no hot starting issue

We also adjusted the valves in my bike to and it made it easier to start for a little while, the factory is saying that they had a bad batch of gears in some bikes and are waiting on new ones to be made. They said its got something to do with the coating or heat treating on the gears.

FAR are a good group of people. I use to race HS with the kids years ago and back then, they were fast. They use PC items and they just might have spare parts in the back corner to sell. Worth the call!
