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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 310r gearbox failure

Have anyone else had problems with their gearbox. This is the second that breaks.
The first one you can see here. TE 310
It had about 100 hours on it. This one have about 120 H on it.
This is what came out with the oil.

Morgan- I remember last year you had nearly the same damage; I think you had your engine cases welded (starter problem IIRC) and new gears (what about shafts & forks??).

btw- yours is the only 310 xlite that I have heard that has had a tranny failure. OTOH, I doubt there's more than 8,000 of 'em in the world (guessing). maybe someone that has direct knowledge of a bad tranny will jump in here.

I hate the fact that the Italians forced a 6th gear in there but didn't alter the final absolute ratio. If you can get a TC 5-speed tranny (and it fits) I might go that route.

what exactly is it that is breaking? 3rd driven gear again? why?

I agree.

I have never seen that before.
 
No pics, the motor is not at my place. The crankcase was destroid on the inside so you could not see it from the outside.
 
I have a te250 with 3rd gear issues, it drops to 2nd then back to 3rd when you ease the power on, I'm only going to use the bike for trails, not racing so I can live with it as is for a while, no time to pull it to bits, is this a common fault? Will I cause anymore damage, just I don't have the time to pull it to bits.
 
No, this is not a common problem.

Was the motor ever rebuilt? Maybe someone left out a shim?

Maybe the factory left out a shim.

Are you keeping your chain too tight?
