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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is it time to adjust my valves?

Husqvarna
AA Class
Bike is 2011 TE310 (x-lite) with 11.8 hours on it.

Intake gap should be .15mm
In Left measured .17mm
In Right measured .15mm
Exhaust gap should be .20mm
Ex Left measured .23mm
Ex Right measured .23mm

The shop manual does not post an allowable plus/minus tolerance for the gaps.
Do I need to yank the camshafts and re-shim right now?
If so, does anyone know if I can use similar Japanese bike shims?
 
Take off your seat, look just behind where the battery sits, I think you will find your specs there. At least that's where the 2010 specs are located on the bike.

Thanks very much SoCalHusky for the tip. Alas, nothing there on my bike. :(
 
Check out this thread. My dealer gave me a range they use. Measurements are in inches, though. Also, I'm assuming the 310 x-lite valves use the same tolerances as my 250 x-lite. I think you're good

Thanks Ioneater! Just what I was looking for! :cheers:
 
My 11 250 has those specs on the upper, inside fork tube I believe.​

Wow...right under my nose the whole time. Those aren't even in the shop manual. Thanks much Jason.
 
No problemo. If you do have to mess with the shims eventually, be very careful as they are tiny and easy to drop.
