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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 TE 310

Just a quick heads up, I was checking the valves, and installing some excellent 7602 rad guards on my 2012 TE 310, today and I noticed the cross over fuel line had worn a hole in my valve cover. It actually had a pin hole in the area with the most abrasion. I think it could have been avoided by running the cross over, up over the top of the spark plug wire. I filled it in with some JB weld and used some adhesive rubber tape over the area, so it is none the worse for wear, but just something owners might want to check.

The bike has almost 74 hrs on it now 99% Hard Trail/Track use and no issues at all except for the initial starter flywheel issues. Bike has been rock solid still runs strong and keeps up with the 450's, and 300 two strokes all day long. I still love the handing of this bike it is just so much fun to ride!
 
I have a question about valve adjustment on a 2013 TXC310. I can't seem to find anything on the web about this procedure for this year, make and model. I apologize upfront if this has already been covered extensively, I am new to this site as of today. If it's out there, someone please point me in the right direction. My Husky is starting to show characteristics, which I think are valve clearance issues. It's getting harder to start, and it is starting to do this 'hiccup cough' stall. I have a Rekluse on the bike, which cured most all stalling, but now it is back and is worse. First I thought it was my Rekluse needing adjustment, but now I'm convinced it's the valves, probably the exhaust valves. I haven't had an hour meter on it from day one, but if I had to guess based on it's hour reading now, I probably have 100 hours on the bike. I'm trying to avoid taking it to the dealer, but I'm kind'a lost and need some guidance. I use to adjust the valves on a 2004 KTM 450 all the time, but I have zero experience with shim & bucket style valves, which I believe from my limited info, is what I have. Anyone?
 
My 2012 TE310 at 60 hours needed the valves tightened so at 100 I would think yours are out of spec.
