  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Throttle Body popping off

Hi, im new to this thread and Huskys in general.

I have recently purchased a TE 310 2012 model here in Australia, and have only ridden the bike about 5 times.
3 out of those times i have had the throttle body actually dislodge from the cylinder on the engine, with a loud popping noise and then when i look at the bike the entire throttle body is not connected anymore.
I am wanting to know if any one has had an issue like this before as i have been told by mechanics its a rare issue, and also if by any chance a way to stop this from happening??

Too much back pressure? do i need to anchor the assembly to the frame.

Any ideas are helpful?
Also the kick start will not start the bike, it only winds over and nothing happens.

Backfire thru the open intake valves will blow the throttle body out of the boot if the throttle is closed. You can tie the throttle body to the cylinder head, but I would recommend you solve the back firing problem first.
 
verify that the boot clamps exist and are functioning at the correct tightness.
Beyond that... this should not occur under normal circumstances- not common at all. Unless you are travis pastrana and you jumped out of a plane with the bike hoping to land it...
If the bike is backfiring well yea-but that's not real normal. If that is happening that's the cause and the symptom is the boot coming off. But if you bought a bike without clamps- then that's the cause... $HIT happens - I'd believe anything from a used bike purchase from even a friend. People minimize and take shortcuts- some are really really bad though.

The kick start-gearing may be damaged (something to inspect)- maybe due to the auto decomp being disabled by the valves being out of spec- kickstart assembly is not meant for full compression- but neither is the starter gears- hopefully that's ok- if it starts really well with the starter then maybe its "ok"- but I'd still check the valve lash. Which in turn could increase chances of a backfire/ poor running.

I'd say the bike (being used and new to you) needs to be gone over really well by someone to see what is a problem to ignore and what NEEDS to be repaired or dialed in NOW.

good luck!
 
Thanks for the response guys, i went out today and purchased a better quality hose clamp and i will find out tomorrow if this has made a difference. In regards to the kick starter i have inspected it and everything seems fine, once again ill get out this weekend and give it a whirl and hopefully we are all good. But thanks so much for the tips, and ill keep you posted on results!
