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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

310 on street only

Unless you are racing, don't worry about a crank mod until you are rebuilding. If we rebuild your engine, whether it is a 250 or a 650, the mod goes in automatically and on all brands. High flowing oil filters such as stainless mesh in addition to thinW40 oil will flow the maximum amount of oil across your critical engine areas such as the rod bearing at high rpm on those long stretches. :)

I have seen 310's converted to smr's. When racing these engines, we have found that sustained rpm will seize the rod bearings due to low oil delivery. Utilizing low viscosity synthetic oils such as Mobil1 0W40 in conjunction with high flowing stainless steel oil filters helps to alleviate this issue. Our solution was to remove the crankshaft and replace with a redesigned rod bearing and oil delivery system. The mod cost is only $100, but requires an engine tear down and is beyond the scope of most owners. It is usually reserved for those who race.

Does the rod bearing issue also apply to the 09-10 TE310 models?
 
I'm thinking it is an issue with all the italian bikes. I knew of a guy who had a 2006 TE250 that had the bottom end grenade. He was riding it to work 50mph for about 20 miles each way.
 
This exact model and topic has been discussed here before. I think the conclusion was yes you can SM/DS the 310 but it will be uncomfortable, noisy, will be revving its balls off and the motor will wear quickly. Slight chance of self destruction if used above 100km/h for any great stretch.

I don't think it's really a design "fault", more like designed for a purpose.
 
Too bad nobody makes a performance chassis with a durable more trail oriented engine with a wide ratio transmission.
