TE 310 Flywheel Weight

[trailraider]

Hi all,
I have a 2011 TE 310 which I love but in the really tight trails it could use a little flywheel weight to stop it from stalling.
Does any one know if there is a flywheel weight available for it any where?
Thanks

I am with you just ripping road section the dam thing stalls when sopping hard. Anyone got any help for us?

Flywheel weights are not available for the xlight motors. Something to do with how their oddly designed into these motors. I've tried several places and they all said the same thing.

Thats a real shame, apart from this trait I love the bike but it make it difficult to ride in the tight stuff . with no flywheel inertia to keep it going I also find it difficult to get re started after stopping halfway up a nasty hill, you gotta clutch the crap out of it which I dont like doing. I hope they do something about it for next year as I replace my bikes every 2 years and i'm still not sold on the 449.

Not sure what is going on with the bike but weighting that clutch is not a bad thing ... It helps control the rear wheel from spinning for one thing ... It also can control the speed you are carrying in many places ... For me, in tight stuff, i'm all over the clutch to control the bike ...ESP on uphills while moving ...

Are you controlling the bike via the throttle only?

try a rekluse clutch

 

[Weantright]

Rekluse, 12 port injector, TXC ECU??

Those are all in the plans just not in the budget right now. At $800 bucks or whatever ungodly amount Rekluse wants for a clutch it's gonna be last on the list right now.

You didn't ask for the cheapest fix! Least expensive/bandaid would be to raise your idle.

I've been through all this with my Te250. Raising the idle doesn't work, had mine set at 2400 and still stalled, 12 port injector and ECU? May work but no way I was spending that much money on a near new bike. Flywheel weight as discussed not an option as they are not available.
So the problem is?.............Yes you guessed it the fuel injection.
The mapping is all wrong, when you crack the throttle open from idle or low revs it bogs, when you do the same when riding in tight slow sections it stalls, it's incredibly annoying and I was ready to sell mine as it was not competitive in the winter races i was involved in.
I bought a JD tuner as a last resort as this was the least expensive option which I knew stood some chance of correcting the issue, took a bit of time to dial in but I got there within a few hours of testing.
For those who don't know, the JD tuner alters different areas of the fuel injection, just like on a bike with a carb you can alter the equivalent of pilot, needle, main jet and accelerator pump you can do all these at the push of a few buttons. With my bike the setting which cured the stalling was the accelerator pump, I slowed this down to the lowest setting and it transformed the bike. I can now cleanly accelerate from idle in 1st, 2nd, 3rd with no issues where before I would have to feather the clutch continually and keep the revs stupidly high to avoid an embarassing stall.

+1 to fixing the fueling.

I added the Kawi injector and a PowerCommander to my '11 te250. It cut my stalling by at least 95%. I couldn't say if the PC is worth the extra money over the other options (JD, TXC box) but it definitely works. I'm sure the others make a huge improvement too.

Just to give you an idea of how far off the stock mapping is, the PC map on mine is reducing the fuel by between 30 and 40% near idle. You'd have to raise the idle to over 3k rpm to keep the bike out of the bad part of the map.

To see for yourself, warm your bike up and then smell the exhaust at idle. It will reek of unburnt gas. Compare that to the exhaust of any decently tuned vehicle.

12 port and ECU, adjust with Ibeat and be done with it.

Hi ray_ray,
yeah the ride on the weekend was real tight, like 4 bike lengths between 180 degree corners while dodging trees in soft dusty trails, type of stuff you just wanna roll thru the corners and get some rythm going.
i have the 12 hole injector and an aftermarket pipe already on , they did make a difference for the better but some engine inertia would be nice to keep it turning over as you go along. I also find it difficult to get restarted once stopping on a nasty hill without using heaps of clutch.

I also noticed last night starting it up from cold there was a little smoke, it went away once it was warmed up.
i checked the oil level, I must have put a bit too much in on the recent change, it was about 3/4 up the glass. Can this cause the somke?

any thing with the word (fun) in it will cost you money...

Engine inertia is not your problem, you really need to get that idea out of your head.

Yup it can.

The oil gets blown out the head breather and into the airbox.

I'd worry about more weight on the flywheel on these bikes.....the e-start runs off that flywheel and the woodruff key is stressed enough already.

Then you better not leave that thing sitting around where I can get to it and swap parts :-)

Kinda late to this thread. Anyway, how about changing the gearing and maybe adjust your idle?

Rekluse, just spend the $379. the best $ you can spend on it.
