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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 TXC 310 Oil leak

I have a 2013 TXC 310 with about 12 hours and noticed a buch of oil on the engine after riding for about 2 hours today. Looks like it could be coming from the Valve Cover, however plenty of oil on the sight glass. Attached is a photo. Anyone have this issue on their 310?

Thanks,
Rob

Thanks Mike, but I have not added oil since last 2 hour ride. After that ride, there was no oil blowing out like after our ride today.
 
Well... by the picture; Either the valve cover or the head gasket... Maybe the valve cover needs the torque checked or maybe a breather line blew off above the engine.
 
Thanks Tinken, It appeared to be the Valve Cover Gasket. I am going to ride today and see if that puts the fix on it.

I had the same symptoms on Saturday at the end of a ride except the oil ran over my headers and have me a heck of a fright from the smoke. All of the valve cover bolts were loose, make sure you tighten but don't strip them!
 
They strip real easy.....like everything on the head of an x-light.

Just snug 'em.

Mine leaks a little oil from the breather pipe in the valve cover...it's s simple press in fit and doesn't seal that well....nothig like that leak though.
 
Thanks and valve cover gasket seem to be the problem. The breater pipe does leak a tad which I believe we are going to try to put a different one on there.

I wouldn't call myself Hercules but many of the external bolts that go into the alloy motor on my bike have been recoiled - all four valve cover bolt holes, the oil filter screens, cam chain tensioner. So soft.

Gotta love Italian quality. Too bad the Austrians are going to ruin all that. Aluminum parts that are removed and reinstalled frequently should already be helicoiled from the factory.
 
Its the wierd alloy Italy used. It's almost impossible to weld and won't allow heat to tranfer out through the cases very well.

True.....I had a 2002 subframe with a welder to repair a knocked off front seat hook......try as he might MIG/TiG/stick...he could not weld it back on.....I ended up drilling and taping a hole and botling it on.

I hope you realise that I meant that I stripped them and had to recoil.. i didnt word it very well. I agree with the factory recoil idea.

Yes. I understood, but thanks. A while back I purchased a magazine tube mounted rail adapter for a Remington 870 shotgun from a company called Mesa Tactical. The part was made of aluminum, and since it is required to be removed to disassemble the firearm for cleaning, they installed steel helicoils in it when they manufactured it. I thought that was a great idea.
