I Just Bought A 2012 Te310 What Is Next?

I was looking at the pinned guide thread for the 499-511and was wondering if there is a good thread like that for the 310? I am really wanting to get an idea of what owning a bike from this time period is like. In the past I have owned Husqvarna 125 woods bikes and a 610 dual sport, but I am just re-entering the hobby after 20 years.

It has about 1000 miles on it. I don't think it ever went off road, as it is super clean. It has 13-40 gearing, that seems like it would be way to high off road.

The stock 13-40 gearing was typically changed by the dealer to 13-50. The bike was shipped with a longer chain to accommodate.

How does it run?

You will probably need I-beat to tune it. You can buy a 12pt injector and ECU from a 2012 TXC310 if you want it run awesome.

In any case you should get I-beat.

I have been wanting to learn about the power options. I have seen some threads about the TXC ecu being hard to find now. With the stock ecu is it always in "race mode I"? The bike runs, but it feels like it is a little soft when you try to quickly loft the front wheel. It pulls hard after you roll in, but the snap is missing? What does the I-beat do? Just a fuel controller? Also the plastics are so nice that I want to replace them and save them. What is recommended for brand and where to buy. Ebay has 08-11 plastic cheap, but 12 seems hard to find.

Nice bike! Can't help with most of your questions, but of the plastic I've gotten RTech is the best and even better than OEM. Bill's Motorcycles is a sponsor here and ordered the kit for me at a good price.

Nice bike and since the big rear taillight thing is still there it probably didn't do much hard offroad. Front/rear fenders and side panels are cheap for Polisport versions. Rocky mountain has them listed for the 2011 TE310 but they also fit the 2012. Ibeat can help with the lowspeed a bit - there are a bunch of threads to read through to see what to try. The TXC ECU helps more but it will never have the low end torque of a 450. If you are going to do tight slow singletrack shorter gearing helps too.

One thing to make sure of is that the O2 sensor was removed and a resistor placed in the commector.

That is the power up mode.
