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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Removal of steering to grease - info needed

While I have my suspension off the bike to be revalved, I was thinking it was a good time to grease the steering bearings. I've searched thru the service manual but does't really show anything but the parts.

Once I have the upper and lower triple clamps off, are they keyed when I go to re install? If not, how does one realign them? I take it I'd need the forks to do that and would have to wait till the parts come back.

Any idea if what the torque would be for the steering stem nuts off hand?

Doug,
You need the shop manual I think.
This link to the 2011 / 2012 TE310 shop manuals should help.

I have a 2012 te310 and on page 62 of the Shop Manual it has steering head adjustments. Torque of the steering head tube nut is 78 - 88 Nm. You may need a special key tool. See the shop manual in the Special Tools section. I haven't done anything with my steering head bearings yet. Good luck.
