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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Other 310 gear sets available?

Got my '14 TE 310R out for it first real ride - did a ride vacation in Moab UT area. I like the little bike. Im learing about what can be done to fix the glitchy ecu programming - dies at low RPM & power fades out above 7 or 8000 r's. My main complaint is that some stooges at the factory installed a CR motocross transmission in this dualsport / trail bike. High is too low & low is too high (13 / 45t sprox) . If there are other gear sets available, I woud consider it a worthy winter project to install some proper gears. Are they available?
 
13/48 to 13/50 is what you need. This isn't a dual sport for the record. It is a racing Enduro bike with a plate on it. This platform has won world championships with the gearing you're referring to. A Rekluse helps with the stalling.
 
I have a different Husky and I'm not sure what you are looking for exactly in your bike, but I bumped up the FS 1T (14\50) on my bike and it really opened up the gearing feeling ... Felt more like a 5-speed spread between gears but this Husky had 6 speeds so it felt much faster even on the top-end side... Still a dirt bike though and 1st gear was not too bad on the trails ...
 
Like reveille said this is a racing enduro bike. It's never going to be a comfortable 60 mph plus cruising bike. Nor is it going to be a put-put trail tractor like a TTR. That said, it is a screaming fun bike in the middle ranges. There are lots of treads about final ratio's on this forum. Most people end up 3.68-4.00. That is 13/48, 13/50, 13/52. The best way to set the sprockets is to have it low enough to start out and be in the middle gears at your usual tail speeds.

The transmission itself is not changeable.

Put a pipe on it and tell me it's not a tractor.
 
I just expected for a little more versatility. With 6 gears, a roadable gear, happy at 55 to 60 mph, and a gear for rough rocky trails. But I must choose one or other. Love the bike otherwise.
 
I'm it the same boat. I want it all! I just put a Rekluse on my 14 310, haven't had a chance to ride it yet but plan on riding woods trails to highway connector gearing with 13/45. Woods trails won't suck balls with the Rekluse and a few clicks on the highway won't be the end all either. That's what I'm telling myself. :thumbsup:
 
I switch out between 12/45 and 13/45 depending on the type of riding I'm doing. It's not optimal either way but I've found it's the best compromise.
