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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Brand new TE310 won't run

Hi everyone, got my new 2011 TE310 home on Monday proud as punch, then... I have been unable to start it!! It got going once after much persistence I ran around the block once with it running terribly got home shut it off and haven't been able to start it since.. I live remote so have had it shipped to the dealer for repair (at their cost).

Just wanted to know has anyone had any similar experiences?? I must say I'm a little nervous now about it's long term reliability, reliability is one of the reasons I got a husky..
 
I had a 2011 TE310 (bought Oct 2010) raced it for 80 Hours , Zero problems !

I now have a 2012 TE310 done 16 Hours , again , Zero problems .

Hopefully its something silly (electrical maybe ?) and a one off . Hope you get it fixed and enjoy a great reliable bike !
 
Has it been powered up?

Did it run okay before?

Mine had the flywheel slip sheairng the key. It ran like crap for a while and was hard to start. Eventually it would not start at all.

If it's banging and kicking back while you try to start it, it may very well be the flywheel.
 
Going way out on a limb here, but, if you shut the motor off with the kill switch, you have to press the kill switch again to set it to "run" position.

Thanks Aaron8, I definitely had the bike set to run. I had the assistance of another forum member who rides a 310, we had the tank off and checked everything! I should have mentioned before the dreaded 'Fail' did appear on the display at one point, the manual tells me this is a EFI system problem.

I'm hoping so, I've heard so many positive things about the 310 which is another reason for getting one.
 
FAIL will occur if you burp the start button. The fact you saw it briefly doesn't mean something's wrong there.

Since you received the bike in a crate, I'd expect an assembly error first. Both Petcocks on?

By "running terribly"... what exactly to you mean? Be much more specific.

Coughing? Backfiring? Missing? Lacking any power when applying the gas? Other things?

I picked the bike up assembled and trailered it to my place. I was guessing an assembly error, the dealer has informed me that all the pre delivery has been checked and was done by the book and it test rode OK.
Both cocks definitely on, basically it was winding over, would idle for 1-2 secs then die it would also stall with any throttle input. Once I got it to run it was almost like when you're low (very low) on fuel and open the throttle and get hesitation a cough then a surge, it was idling roughly too. It's my first brand new bike so I was thinking it might have needed time to loosen up a bit, not sure.

It has been powered up, the dealer did it. I thought this could be an issue when I was having trouble with it. It's not banging and kicking just winding over like I would expect, not sure how it ran before it's got a total of 6Kms on the odometer.
 
G'Day mate,
Good to see your posting all the details on the bike, i have done the same here with my issues.

I wonder how they went with the crate and our packaging atempt, that was funny with the handle bars. lol

Catch ya later

I reckon if anyone is going to know what's happening it's the guys & girls on here. I will report back when I find out what the problem was. Hopefully Team Husky (that's you and me BTW :) ) will be out carving the top end in the next week or so!!

I woudn't be surprised if they're still trying to get it out, that was a great effort.
 
Try disconnecting the water temp sensor and see how it runs, if it is a white coloured one, it could be faulty? on the right side back part of the barrel below the petrol tap.
 
are you using the starter lever on the left grip? You might need to hold that in for a minute or two before it'll idle.

It could also be a bad water sensor like Robertk61 said. I've heard several reports of those going bad, although mine's been fine...
 
check for a pinched fuel line. I wonder if the shop was careless putting the tank back on.

This is also my guess. Your symptoms are as if one of these are the problem.
 
15 posts and nobody has suggested the obvious diagnostic procedures: FUSES, SPARK and FUEL.

Does the fuel pump make noise pressurizing the system when you turn the key and hit the switch? If not, check the fuses and fuel pump connection.

Pull the coil wire, ground it, crank the bike and check for a good spark.

If all three of those diagnostics check out, I'm guessing crappy fuel, or perhaps the fuel pump has let loose from it's holder and I would do this:

Pull the tank. Dump the fuel. There is fuel in there, right? :p Pull the fuel pump plate and secure the fuel pump according to the INSTRUCTIONS HERE. Check all the wiring loom connections while the tank is off. Put *fresh* fuel in. Try again :D

Alternatively you could let the dealer sort it out, that's what warranties are for, but not as rewarding as getting in there, getting to know your bike, and solving the problem so you're prepared for the unexpected.

He shipped it back to the dealer so I figured he was just lettin us know that... and wait and see what they come up with...:popcorn: till then it just speculation, at what he did or didn't try while he had it, which I didn't assume was too long.

Ah, I missed that. In that case, :popcorn:

Still, lots of shots in the dark suggested and no methodology. I hate to see people throw parts and money at a problem without finding a solution.
