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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Question re: Old (09-10) TE310 vs New (11-up) engine power curves

Hi,
I recently acquired an 09 TE310 which works well for me. I have a friend who is thinking about getting a KTM 350 exc-f (new, but he's not rich), he's a fairly big guy and rides mostly technical single-track. I'm thinking the Husky 310 may be good for him too, but which year model 310? I'm seeing the 09's and 10's for sale pretty cheap with very low mileage (the weight difference is not a big factor for us).
My large block 310 has enough usable torque at lower-mid rpm's... how do the new xlite 310's torque compare at those same lower rpms?

In other words, for those who have ridden both, does the old design give up much low end to mid power compared to the new one?

Thanks
