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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hour meter I installed does not work on 13 310

I had an hour meter in garage I put on 13 TXC 310. Its the kind you wrap wire around plug wire. Just noticed it hasnt registered any time on it. Do these bikes need a wireless hour meter?
 
Just guessing, but isn't there normally a current induced in the wire around the (AC) high voltage lead? And since the new bikes have the coil pack, you're wrapped around a low voltage DC lead which isn't inducing a current in the wire.

FWIW, the built in hour meter doesn't appear to work on the '13 TE310r either...
 
I am looking to install one on my 14 TXC 310 If I understand correctly I just need hard wire the lead to a 12 volt source that is hot while the bike is running. In the diagram above that would be the load positive lead for the fuel pump. Am I on the right track here.? Thanks.
 
I fitted the Trail Tech Hour Meter/ Tacho to my '14 TE310R.
Generally easy fitting once you have got used to the tank removal.
I fed the sensor wire through the rubber grommet on the coil/plug top, then wrapped half a dozen turns around the plug top.
I secured the wire with a turn of adhesive tape. There's not much room between the plug top and the head, so fitting it is very snug.

As was mentioned, it has it's own power, so no feed wires to source

However, once fitted, the Tacho works perfectly - I don't use the hour meter.
The display puts the Husky dash to shame - nice bold, readable digits, unlike the Husky offering. No internal lighting to the Tacho, but if I'm out at night, I'm just on the way back home!

You can get a bracket that mounts to the front tank bolt, but I used a handlebar mount that juts out from the bar protector, so the Tacho is between that and the dash.

Re: Tank removal - I've found that it is easiest to release the fuel pipe at the injection (lower) end, then when the tank is off, remove the pipe and refit it to the injector, hooking the pipe onto the pump/tank when that goes back. It's easier to get fingers to release the clip at the lower end, rather than fiddle beneath the tank. Then, as replacement is just a push-on, it saves trying to thread the pipe through the frame etc when on the tank. Just lower the tank on, connect the wire plug and then the pipe.

I just installed a Moose hour meter on my '14 TXC 310R. I simply wrapped the wire around the top of the coil beneath the electrical connector. The wire is above/on the rubber boot. I wrapped it three times and used the included cable tie to fasten the end. Works like a charm! I stuck it with tape to the side of the frame near the steer tube.

Good info on tank removal. That fuel line clip under the tank is a pain to get to.
 
I will do the wrap method as dfeckel mentioned above and I have read from other sources.. I was looking for a method that did not involve removing the tank.

Is the Zip Ty tank spacer mod a must do? I will see soon enough when I pull off the tank I suppose..Thanks Alwynmike.
 
My tank doesn't rub on anything I can see - maybe they modified it on the last models???

The first time my tank came off, it took me ages, but after fiddling with the Tacho wire, with the tank on and off, I can get it off in just a few minutes. It's still a pain to do, but no more difficult than my old CRF

Careful removing the gas tank, the gas tank elbow is made of cheap plastic and cracks or breaks off. I'm hopeful they did replace the spacers on some of the newer 310r's. I know that not all of the new models are fixed and some are still wearing through their hoses. :thinking:

Same here..Alloy.. I also did the 3 wraps around the coil and it was a no go. Maybe it was ony 2.5 wraps of sensor wire? I am going to hard wire tomorrow.

It looks like the hose rub problem has been dealt with too. I will keep an eye on it for now. It only has one hour at most on it.
