• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Small major problem.

Ok I've had my 310 husky for a few months now it's been great. The only problem is having to tighten a lot of bolts from previous owner swapping parts well yesterday riding the front sprocket nut came off and it's gone. Dose anyone know where to get one or the thread size and pitch?

Exactly what year and model? I'm sure someone knows but we need exact info. Halls Cycles and Jetworld Powerspors have gotten everything I've needed for a '14 TE 449 and an '08 TE 250.
 
Jesse-

on your '14 TE310R there is also a splined washer with pre-bent tabs on it to retain the counter shaft nut. I have both (in a package) but couldn't find 'em to get a picture for you; but it sounds like you need it- since you lost the nut (maybe the chain guard too?)

The washer is $1.25 #8000 A7128 and the nut is $3.50(?) #8000 A7129 , both on page 56 #28,30 of the parts manual. Call BMP at 503.585.1153 [2016 edit: this is the corrected ph number now] and tell Bryon you need it fast (maybe Jon too- he posts here on CH). They're great folks- hell, Bill himself will give you free advice for your bike, and I think he still rides the same model. They're sponsors here also (as is Hall's- good people there too)

I don't know if pre-'11 models (before the red head xlite) have the same shaft... it seems like the sprockets were different.

Here is a link for the parts manual, and here is the repair manual. Bookmark 'em, or better yet- download the pdf files. Note that the repair manual is for MY 2013, the changes were minor so there was no new manual put out in 2014 (besides, it was the time of transition from BMW to KTM). These are provided by The Husqvarna Outlet, where you can find more parts & repair manuals. I hope they can stick around- they have a curious business model.

I can't remember what the torque was for the counter shaft nut- but I don't think it was the usual Italian extreme, so I'd guess 35-45ft/lbs. Just don't forget to bend the tab over the nearest flat after you put on the final torque. Hell, the rotation of the sprocket should make the nut stay on.... I'm sorta surprised yours came off (or even COULD come off if the chain guard was in place). [2016 edit: Johnrg gives the correct torque value below. Since I was off by 50%, I'll blame it on the fact I was using a 18" flex bar. And I wouldn't go over the 72ft-lbs /100NM value- that almost seems heavy-handed. Mine has never, ever moved in 2000+ single-track miles]

I'd *guess* as an emergency-get-it-home procedure, you might have been able to ever so slightly mis-align the rear wheel to keep the front sprocket from drifting off the shaft. I don't recommend that for any span of time though.
 
Oops- wrong area code for Bills; the right number is 503-585.1153

I can't edit my post on this new account yet <sigh> ...probably hafta go through the mulit-weeks/months wait thing again.

The torque spec. for the countershaft nut is 72 foot lbs. From the factory mine was extremely tight. It needed about 120 foot lbs. or more to loosen.
 
We tied it in with the high beam you can see clearly for over 100 yards and no one high beams Mon on the road anymore lol. Cons you can shadow the person in front of you off road making it hard for them to see directly in front of them.
