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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 310 2011 Flywheel/Rotor Nut Torque

My newish to me Husky went belly up as the flywheel lossened itself when I was trying to get up a ledge at a standstill. It trashed the woodruff key and hence threw the timing out and would not start. Now being reassembled question is how confident are we the owners manual torque setting of 75 nm is adequate, some on here have gone to 100 Nm, or do we go in between ?

Cheers
 
You have to clean up the crank end and flywheel. Remove all burrs and lightly lap with valve lapping compound.
If there are burrs you will never be able to make it tight enough.

Clean off good and put a light coating of Loctite 609 or 680 and tighten to about 80NM or so.

Use a new woodruff key and let it sit overnight before adding oil.
 
The important thing is to make sure there are no big burrs on the flywheel or the crank end.

Pick all the old sheared key out with a dental pick.

Big burrs will cock the flywheel and it won't stay in place.
 
Well bike was repaired and flywheel reassembled, 40 miles later wents T.ts up again? Now need engineer with skill to seat it properly on the taper. This is a fair old achilles heel on this model of bike surprised it passed QA ?
 
Husky has been repaired again, flywheel has been tweaked on a laith and we have had to make a flywheel holding tool. Flywheel now lapped in and fully bedded home and then torqued up correctly using the holding tool. Also found loose connection on CDi, bike nows runs best it has and will have Tubliss and new Maxxis tyres this week. Are these bikes keepers or once sorted move on and and replace with one of those orange things ?

You should be good now.

So how many woodruff keys did you end up using?

Let me opine on the keeper issue.

In my view, once assembled and set up correctly they are awesome bikes.

I have one of the 1st 2010 TE250s in the states and I had tons of issues with it when new.

I reassembled the top end and E-start and I've been riding in aggressively for 7 years.

Oil changes and a fuel filter swap plus one or two shims in the valves and it runs perfect.

I will say that I kick start it mostly as the E-start is not very robust. I use E-start to relight on stalls only.
