  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 XLITE TE310 Maintenance Tips

Just did an oil change and valve adjustment and wanted to offer some tips.

- valve adjustment is easy . I needed to go to a lower intake shim from 1.7mm to 1.65 to bring it into spec. The biggest problem was connecting the gas elbow under the tank after. I used the ZipTY racing aluminum elbow and it was a BITCH to get it connected. I finally succeeded by elevating the tank sightly with wood and centered the connection the best I could. I made each white tab centered on the connection before I forced it gently with channel locks. then pushed the connector in by hand as far as it would go. Then I used channel lock pliers with the metal covered in several layers of electrical tape as not to damage the plastic fuel line which goes into the gas elbow under the tank. I am really mechanically inclined and this was a real PITA.

- oil change tip. I finished the oil change and it was easy. When I was dumping the oil out of the pan into a container I noticed a copper washer. Oh No! This copper washer goes on the oil drain plug (other end goes to a rubber hose and is the oil vent to the frame). So when you drain the oil, look for the copper washer and you wont have to re-do the oil change like I did.


PS went form a 47 rear sprocket to a 50 rear, so far it kick ass and can easily wheelie with little effort. Cant wait to trail ride again soon.
 
tip- everyone focuses on disconnecting the main fuel QD at the tank fitting....do what the factory mechs do, disconnect QD at the throttle body and carefully pull the hose out and off with the tank.
If you have use it and if not should get a rubber vacuum cap to stick over the throttle body barb of the QD to keep out contamination. long nosed curved needle nose pliers can help (or curved hemostats to press the hard to reach release tab on the QD.
