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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Kick starting TE310, 2012

Hi everybody,

I'm having trouble kick starting my 2012 TE310. E-start so far works fine, but reading the thread about E-start problems makes me think I ought to be able to kick the thing over just in case.

Maybe it's technique, but I can't seem to get it to fire, hot or cold doesn't matter. Does not seem to be any info in the manual on kick starting.

What I try is as follows:

Ignition on
Trans in neutral
Kick gently to find TDC
Pull in decomp lever and kick it good

Also do the same thing with clutch pulled in, no go either way.

Am I doing something wrong?
 
On my 11 310 there is no decompression it the choke. I'm pretty sure they all went to auto decompress when the xlight came in?

There is no decompression lever on a 2012 TE 310. The lever you are pulling is the cold start lever. It adds fuel to richen the mixture kind of like a choke. A firm push and follow through can be more effective than a short, hard punch.
 
Really, I had no idea about the choke vs decomp thing! Thanks for that information. I will try it some more. Does it matter if the clutch is pulled in or not? Do you still kick gently till it gets real hard, let it spring up and kick it from there? That's how I used to start my XR600R.
 
Yes like mentioned the red lever is an enrichner. Neutral and key on is all it takes. Its an easy kick nothing like a 600 single. My 2012 310 came with the kick stater lever installed wrong. I advanced it one spline which gives a better throw per kick and made it easier to start on first try.
 
Once your EFI is tuned by I-beat it should kick right over.

In fact, both my 2010 TE250 and 12 TXC310 are one kick starters.

You are right. The E-starts on these bikes only last so long. I kick unless I am stuck on a hill or some other bad position.
 
Hi Guys, I have seen a lot of you guys referring to this, I have a TXC310 2013, I found that the spring on the decompressor on the camshaft needs to be stretched a little bit in order for the decompressor to work correctly...Not a job for the unexperienced..!!
It is a bit technical, take to your closest dealer.

Enjoy..!!
