2011 0r 2012 Te 310

[66lightning]

Called Motoxotica and I can save a $1000 on a 2011 TE310 vs 2012. My only concern is the bog or hesitation at the low end that I have heard of. Is it really that big of a problem or will it go away when engine breaks in? I wonder if they tuned this problem out on the 2012 with remapping and new exhaust? Any input 310 owners? Thanks

Some have said the bog improves with break in. Some have said it doesn't. I haven't had much chance to put many miles on mine yet. From what others have said, $200 will get you a JD Jetting controller that can tune out that problem. And $500 or so will get you a PowerCommander V w/AutoTune that will tune it for you.

Personally, I don't see why an EFI mapping update can't fix the problem and I don't know why Husky hasn't shipped one...

Only very few have a low-end bog and I am suspect that there is a fuel supply issue, actually working through that issue right now on a problem bike that had a very bad bog pop up after 30+ miles of riding. We fixed it, now we are just trying to ascertain if it's an isolated incident of if what we found may relate to other bike with not such a bad bog.

Anyhow, to the OP $1000 off is a pretty sweet deal. There will be updates in the 2012's but hard to say that's worth $1000 when they do finally show up as the '12 TE310 won't be here until late fall. The WR's will be the early arrivals this year within the next month.

Just curious, what was the cause of the bog for you?

Save the 1K and take it to a tuner who knows Huskys...my2cents

fuel filter with a defective seam, if others have less leakage then they could run better but still not be right. Depending on the level of seapage will mean too low of fuel pressure and not able to retain any line pressure after pump shuts off. The filter is plastic and designed with a glued/pressed seam which can seap or bleed off pressure if the least little bit defective. If there is pressure loss in the system, this will stress the fuel pump and take away the EFI's ability to create an accellerator pump feature if the pumps not able to keep a sustained 40psi+ fuel feed during all throttle positions/rpm's.

Read Through the "12 Hole Injector upgrade" Post in the EFI section .

Dont want to repeat but I have 011 TE310 and no bog etc...

There seems only smaller changes between 011 and 012 (Shock & Exhaust the biggest 2) .

$1000 dollars off , but remember the bike is a year old the first day you ride it !

No issues on my 10 model, different engine but same basic Mikuni efi. Agree with above, it is hit and miss and I feel a good efi tuner can eliminate the problem. A $1000 bucks is a lot of bling, beers and goodies to my simple mind

different fuel pump assembly and while a fuel tuner can help mask a low PSI problem, if it exist it will never be as right as a bike with a solid fuel pump/filter feed.

Thanks for the input. When my 2010 TE 450 was new it would sometimes stall abruptly at extremely low speed. So when you were about to start a steep uphill climb at low speed it would cough and stall. This problem completely went away after the engine broke in, which took like 500 miles. Now the bike is unstoppable and never stalls. I am wondering whether or not the bog with the 310 is the same situation?

No bog or issues with my 2011 310. Great bike so far. Only 250 miles.

all the 2011 te 250/310 do have a bog down low if you do use it and chop the throttle down low a bog will happen.........you can do this by riding in 2nd gear at 2,600 to 3,000 rpm and try wot a few times and a bog will happen on all 250s/310s but if you do open riding it will be ok and can be tuned out to about 90% or 100% with power commander or jd tuner

 

[husky bom]

and i think you should get a 2011 310..............$1000 off is a big saving for extras or beer and 2012 will not be any better IMO with wery little upgrades kyb shock and muffler to the 2012 310......... 2011 are a good bike you will enjoy

Incorrect, I have two TE250's here with no bog and one that down right pulls very good from idle on through the RPM's, however it has the Full Akra system too. Again, if there is a bike with a bog, then the fuel PSI needs to be checked for proper operation and if it can be tested on a Dyno you'll know if it's up to task or not as a loaded engine will test the available on demand fuel supply the best way possible.

Ecu and 12 hole injector takes care of the bog down. In Europe BMW is replacing all the injector, they did on my 2011 250 and fixed the problem right up. The suspension is miles ahead in the 2012, worth the $1000 difference

I floated this to George @ Uptite and he seems to feel the 2012 has significant changes but he's not gotten to see what they're actually delivering yet. I'll probably go with what he says after he looks them over. As it is it's probably better that they seem to be a bit delayed as my bank account has had trouble going over $6500 .....I think someone told him they'd "lost" some new bikes... where did they go?

I don't have any bog either...2010TE310...my bike is stock except for an Uptite muffler. Bike pulls hard in all gears...George did the power up after I had 500 miles

Wondering if there is any more input on this topic as the 2012 has been out now for a while. Husky isn't offering any rebates on the 2011 TE310s so I have a dealer near me that has a 2011 for $7000 @ 5%, another dealer has the 2012s advertised for $7200 @ 7%. Seems like limited cost benefit to the 2011 on my side. I wish Husky had ran the rebates across the lines for both mine and the dealers sake, the rebated 250s are down to $5100 but I'd like the extra meat if me and the bike intend to have a long relationship.

Hope to have a Husky in the garage to jabber about with you folks soon!
