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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2014 Husky TXC310

Husqvarna
Good morning all,
I'm new to the forum and wanted to get some feedback on the 2014 Husky TXC310. I'm considering buying one out of Southern California from the dealership and was wondering if
I need to request that the dealership address or update anything on the bike prior to me purchasing it i.e. any recalls/updates to the fuel injection etc?? any feedback would be greatly appreciated...
Cheers
 
1. Fuel tank elbow, replace it before you break it which will happen ASAP.
2. check wiring and routing, these are packed tight and can chafe.
3. Check what fuses it uses and tape some spares under the seat.
4. check that the battery is well secured.
5. Don't want to start another oil conversation but many feel the lighter 0-40 oil is better for these bikes.

have fun.

Whoa slow down there moto, he asked about things that should be done at the dealer :). Great list. I thought the. 14's ditched the plastic elbow. Anyway, I've yet to break mine but I'm awesome (it's going to break now :)). You forgot the Zip-Ty coolant ;).

You'll love that bike. Zip-Ty racing is the go to place for us. Check around their portion of the forum.
 
All good advice above JEHB. However, before purchasing an aluminum elbow from Zip-Ty (like I did) you might want to check your tank.

At some point Husqvarna must have realized the error in their ways and silently started replacing the plastic elbow with an aluminum one. When I removed the tank on my 2014 TE310R (which was purchased new) I was pleasantly surprised to discover an aluminum elbow already installed.

While I can't say for certain if the TXC received this "upgrade" for the 2014 model year I would be very surprised if it did not.

I suspect it would but I have not examined the tanks on any prior year models.

Perhaps someone with an earlier model can chime in...

They ,it's only have done TXC as my 14 te is still plastic .
I've had my tank off to do wiring, it does have plenty of it, I tidied it up a bit, nothing too drastic though.
The fuel line doesn't have much give in it neither.

I went to order one from zip ty, $25 for the elbow and $98 postage ! :D

I'll try and get one locally (if they have them)
 
PS try undoing the QD at the fuel rail and leave the hose hanging off the tank, thats way the factory race team mechs always did it. I started doing it that way after seeing the CH Racing Team mechs do it that way, it's easier that fiddle ffing around between the tank and frame to release the QD at the elbow. (Metal elbow or not), Both my 310s had ZipTy elbows for bullet proofing anyway.
 
I disconnect at the throttle body and not at the elbow. Just have to be careful when setting the tank down. I do this on both of our TXC's...so far no elbow problems....of course, now that I said that....
