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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 TE 310 Piston Change

Hello, I have a 2011 TE310 with 9500km/6000 miles on it. Not sure about the hours as it seems the hour meter has started over after a hundred hours. The bike doesn’t use any oil and runs and starts great. I have a new piston kit on hand and was debating whether to go ahead and install it or hold off until it starts to use a bit of oil.

My next question is does the engine on these bikes have to be removed from the bike to get the cylinder off.

I appreciate any wisdom you may have. Thanks, Jeff.
 
I haven't changed the pston yet on my 310 but speakig from experience for other bikes, even if there is enough space to remove the cylinder it's much much easier to take the whole engine off, work on it and then put it back. Even with the work needed to remove it and put it back you'll save a lot of time, and headaches, by working on it on a table rather than on the bike.
 
The good thing about the xlite is it has head bolts not head studs. Makes it easier to pull the top end with the engine still in the bike.
