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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

In reading the book for my '14 TE310R, I see warnings against operating the engine at "top RPMs" when road riding a full power mode bike. My question is - how high are revs at "top"? I calc that with stock 13 & 40t sprockets, the engine will be turning near 8000 rpm at 70 mph. How high will these engines safely rev? I would like to have a lower 1st gear for rough trails, but gearing down to 45t means it will be turning about 8000 at only 60mph. Too bad they didnt give us a trail gear and a road gear with 4 gears evenly spaced between. Rocket science.
 
I doubt you will be able to run even a 45 without killing your clutch, these bikes need a 48 or higher tooth rear sprocket, the 40T is just to pass some emissions bullsheet and you wont be able to ride it off road much at all...the gearing is too low and not enough of a highway gear 6th gear...it will rev much higher than 8 grand though!!
 
It was designed to win world Enduro events not dual sport use. Limit the road runs as much as you can and enjoy it on the trails. 13/48 is barely doable in single track and 13/50 or 52 is even better.
 
I even emailed Husqvarna UK about this - they wouldn't tell me because it was "commercially sensitive" information.
I have fitted a Trail Tech Tacho/hour meter to my TE310R.
The standard (UK) gearing is 13/53, so 60mph on the road is OK with some useable low speed action available.
I've had one run on 12/53, when it was very wet and muddy. Still OK at 55mph, with a blast up to 70 or so, which would be just over 9000 revs (I wasn't looking at the tacho at the time!)

Mike,

What RPM is the bike turning at 60mph,with the 13 / 53 sprocks?
I may go to 12/45 or 13/50 if it will do 60mph without over revving.
 
2012 model here but I replaced the 40 rear with a 45. Suffice it to say the revs are OK at 55-60 mph. If you do much highway transition this will work for the highway end. If you are doing single track you may want a 48-50 or do like I did and get a Rekluse and be able to ride it like a tractor. I doubt the 310 will pull very high revs with a 40 on the rear....it may actually have a higher top end with a 50.

The engine will rev over 11,000 for sure. It was case tested to much higher revs also, somewhere between 16-19K. Power curve starts around 5000 in the graphs and runs strong to around 10,000.

Thanks. That is good info. I guess I need not worry about over revving at 8 or 9000 at hiway speeds. This is my first bike with modern engine. Untill now I have been riding a 94 KTM LC4 400. A good old pig, but heavy.

I may try a 45t sprocket, then switch between 12t and 13t front, for the anticipated riding conditions. This will give either 12% or 20% more gear reduction than stock.

Does use of Rekluse make necessary more frequent oil changes - more oil contamination from more clutch slip / wear?
 
Good question about the slipping clutch. In therory you should probably change it after every 6 hours. I run 13/48 and ran it all last season and just added a Rekluse core EXP 3.0 last weekend so I am hoping it will cure the flame outs this season. With the FMF full open exhaust and full TXC power up this thing is a blast to ride now. Tons of power all over the place. :) Enjoy the bike.

You can check gearing on a 2011 TE 310 on this site

13/40 is about 65 mph for 6500 rpm in 6th gear
13/50 is about 51 mph for 6500 rpm in 6th gear.
13/45 is in the middle.

Yes, I'd be on the safe side and change oil more often with a Rekluse.
