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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New 2013 Husqvarna TE 310 R: Yea or Nay for Dual Sport?

I can't give a comprehensive review yet, but after Zip Ty gets thru doing the works on my 310R, I will. For some reason I liked the looks and feel of the 310 over the 449/511, so went that way. Hopefully the oiling mod and valve mod will give me a durable bike, and since I will have to do 30 or so miles of pavement at a time, at 50 to 55, I guess you could call it a "smoke test". I have three other dual sports for longer trips so my 310 is strictly for local trail riding where I don't need to carry luggage or a large fuel load. As I recall my rear sprocket is a 47; as I will never race this bike that should be OK, and I may even drop to a 45 at some point to see how much low speed umph I give up. My 310 will really and truly be dual sported so we will see how it holds up.
 
It will hold up a lot better. Chaos brought his 310 and 250 the other day and we noticed that he needed the clutch mod already since his clutch rubbers were worn out. I tuned his efi adding quite a bit of power with the HST without touching the iBeat software. I will have to look at yours after the mods to see if it can be freshened up.
 
For those that are scared of the last redhead engine because of this thread, take heart in my humble experience. 600 miles on the clock. Nearly all racing miles. Valves looked perfect and clearance was bang on. No adjustment required.
