FNG needs help with TE310

I am picking up a new TE310 on Wednesday from MCC in Chicago.

I cannot find any horse power rating for it and have read a lot of conflicting reports on performance.

I am coming from a KTM 200exc which I loved, but wanted more torque.

I really think you should stick to orange...cause theres only one of us in the group cool enough to ride a husky, and I guess since I already own one that would be me!!

Seriously though; buy it, ride it, and love it. It'll blow that old relic KTM out of the water...

Based on your 200 [which is a very good bike],you will not lack horsepower. You will have to ride it differently though. Throttle & brakes will take some getting use to. Just ride it & get use to it. You will love it for sure.

Thanks, I picked it up yesterday and did one parking lot ride on it. Feels good, but no giant power hit.

I was surprised how lax the dealer was in the delivery. I ask very basic questions, like oil, valve adj. etc intervals. He gave me the owners manual and said read it and it will answer all your questions.

Now I have to wait for the snow to melt to really get some rides in.

Sweet customer service - "Don't bother me, just RTFM"!

Maybe he's their Sales Prevention Officer.

Sorry, forgot to say: Hope you have a ball out there once the snow melts.

He was the owner!

WOW!! I live maybe 10 miles from there. You think in this economy he'd be on his knees. Especially considering how long a drive it must be from N.E. Wisc. I hope you got some future discounts on parts & acc., gear etc. He is obviously aware of the business & customer care that Hall's reputation has. That sort of P.R. is no good. Enjoy the new ride.

Shoulda went south to Halls. I am headed there tomorrow and already wish i had bought my 610 from them, but got it soooo cheap I could not pass up a private party sale from MAINE!. I was going to take mine to MCC, but hear nothing about them and everything about Halls. I was/am THIS close to grabbing a leftover 250 as well, and the salesmen know there stuff.

I get to STL pretty frequently for work. I think Hall husky is closed on Mondays. Which is my usual travel day down to STL. It is too bad MCC were so lax and gave me a no confidence. It's too bad because I have a triumph also. They would have been a great one stop shop. It is by our Chicago office, that's how I ended up there in the first place. I get to Minneapolis/ St Paul at least once a month also. Any good husky dealer there?

I do not think there is a dlr in the twins either. Maybe st cloud

I was impressed by halls yesterday. I'll definatly be back for another TE in a year or so
