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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 TE310 FMF Exhaust set up

I have the rct 4.1 titanium but I would think they are the same? Mine came with the quiet insert in a separate package so I had to remove an aluminum trim piece at the muffler tip and install the quiet insert. Like mentioned above, it only has 1 small bolt holding it in there. Maybe the dealer didn't install yours? Take a peek through the muffler with a flash light and if you can see straight thru then you don't have one installed. My 2 cents worth...
 
The full factory rct's, like the blue anodized silencers do not have the bolt. Instead they have a snap ring. You will need an ice pick to remove. I lift one edge and slowly pull out as I work my way around.
 
Tinken is correct. You simply have a newer version than our 4.1 units. Some snap in, others bolt in.
 
Ice pick? They make snap ring pliers. The guys that were around when the Swede bikes were know what those are. I'd trade my Italian bike for a Swedish bike without blinking an eye. That bitch flat out ran. I remember the power on my 250 OR being scary. Sorry, but the 310 is pretty ho-hum. Does this thing wheelie...not sure...

I know what you mean I remember my teen year bikes being more powerful but I also weighed 180lbs back then. I am 245 lbs in gear now and my 310 seems muted with the extra pork sitting on it...LOL
 
Yes, an Ice pick, snap ring pliers will not work. NNantista's 310r is up for sale in the classifieds, it will definitely eat most 449's.

I was about 150 lbs in the picture. I'm right there with you now.
 
If no one else needs it, you can send it to me. I'm sure I have some sort of bling you want in trade.

I looked for the bike you are talking about. I didn't see it. Post a link plz
 
So I went to a rider appreciation event at Fox Valley Off road www.foxvalleyoffroad.com and gave the Husky a really good workout with the new exhaust. I was running 13/48 gearing and it was perfect from everything from single track to hill climbs. I even ran some steep hill climbs in second just to see if it would pull the taller gears and it was no problemo. I am a happy camper with this setup:thumbsup: Another cool thing was Hall's was there with demo bikes and of course I had to take out a 2014 TXC 310 as a comparison. Pretty much a coin toss between mine and the TXC. It was a great day:cheers:

2014 txc310??? That should be the exact same setup as a 2013 right? We aren't talking about the 2014 "new" husky's are you? Like the FE350.
 
I wanted to post a follow up on the FMF exhaust setup. I rode at Loretta Lynns for the MTDR event this past weekend and at sound check it blew a 92.5 db. That is actually quieter than the stock Leo Vince that came with it. I managed to melt some of my riding pants to the mid pipe so I am looking for a way to mount the stock heat shield on there. I should be able to make some hose clamps with a nut welded to it.
 
I am surprised you melted your pants. My boots cover that area of my leg and have touched the header before but never my pants. Has the performance?

I think he is referring to the mid-pipe shield, not the header shield.
 
Yes the mid pipe area. I just started using the balance oil trials boots which are an inch or so shorter than the MX boots I used before. I burned the pants right at the top of the boot. I have it sorted out now though. The performance has been very good. The bike has more power everywhere even running 13/48. Pulling second gear on steep loooooong (did I say steep and long?) hillclimbs down in Tennessee. I bumped up the CO's from 100-100-100 to 101-102-102. Not a huge change but I figured more would be needed with an open exhaust. I may do more CO tweaking as the season goes on.
