2014 TE 310R, new to the club here! Mods?

[Buzybraza]

Installed radiator guards (MSR made by enduro engineering).
Both sides needed mods to fit right...

Rear brake guard (MSR by enduro engineering)
Perfect fit, high quality stuff!!!

On the Scott's mount. I ran into simular issues. I had to grind quite a bit of the weld around the steering tube. However, with the bolts, if you flip them and put the nut on top they clear just fine. It took me awhile to figure that out. When I read the instructions after I was done, flipping the bolts was mentioned. Maybe I should have read the directions first?

So I added pics to my post 7 for you guys to see the scotts damper mount drama.
Here is the IMS 2.9 gallon next to the stock 2.1 gallon!
I was surprised, it looks the same, even smaller in some places....

Cool, let us know how it fits with clearances and such. I think the OEM is at least 2.25 gallons. So it shouldn't look too much bigger overall. I would like to see some pictures of it once it's installed if you don't mind.

I will keep posting pics as I can. If I remember correctly the stock claims to be 2.1 gal and the IMS claims 2.9 +or- 7%.... I will measure the IMS but then every gas station pump says something different......

Thanks for that. I will definitely try to reverse the handlebar clamp bolts! For 2 reasons, one is to get more clearance for the scotts mount and the second is to try to adjust steering stops to get a little tighter turning radius.

 

[Johnrg]

Yes... Photos showing clearances on the left side between pump/hose and petcock/water pump. And fit in general. Would be great if had better spacing and interfaced with stock plastics well.

Rad guards look good! When installing, do the rads have to be drained and removed?

No, you just have to loosen them from the frame.

But, in order to get them to fit properly there was a significant amount of grinding done to the guards. Right side was just top and bottom to clear the parts of the radiator that stick out.

The left side was a very tight fit to clear the clutch hose and wiring harness. Besides removing a lot of material I also had to "round" all the edges so it wouldn't cut into whatever it rubbed.....

 

[2wheeler]

Yeah simple in theory right? Glad you got them to fit well. I feel the pain. Been dremeling a seat pan off and on for a while.

I'd be good with just dremel, but to make it right it was:
1-angle grinder
2-file
3-sanding block+dremel

My fault because the guys at enduro engineering told me it would not fit!

Before you balanced the tires did you get a vibration around 45-50mph? I can't tell if it's the engine or speed of the bike.​

Exactly! Felt like a very rough road but was just out of balance.

I once saw a guy on a street legal dirt bike on the freeway at about 50 to 60 mph. His rear wheel was hopping 4 inches off the ground!

I have always balanced ALL my stuff ever since!!! It is easier to balance the wheels if you use lightweight rim locks... It takes less weight to accomplish the job.......

So now you have to remove the Hose to add oil ??? or does the "Cap" separate into 2 parts ???

The return hose does not need a hose clamp, just push it on. The simplest way to add oil is to pull the hose and pump oil in with a simple gear oil pump. Or pull the entire plug.

 

[DG Harv Serv]

Personally I would be nervous without a Clamp.
That Hose gets knocked off and the plug is open to dirt !

 

[Tinken]

We raced it hard for 60 miles around the moto track, no leaks. But out in the bush, you're right and it could happen. So hose clamp, zip tie, whatever you feel comfortable with.

Big problems fitting stock plastics to the IMS 2.9gal tank, any comments?

Give Hall's a call. They sell and install them.

Thanks for the tip, I called but they did not have much to say.... Plus I am in San Diego and they are in Illinois......

 

[Buzybraza]

So, IMS gave me the "lawyer line"......

IMS: We don't make a tank for the 2014 TE 310
me: It is the same as the 2011 + 2012 + 2013 models!
IMS: If it doesn't fit than it isn't the same.
me: Any help or suggestions?
IMS: No.

So I am on my own here. I think I will just get some aftermarket plastics and try to remove enough material to try to force it into place....

Call us, ask for Danny. I have forwarded your images to his email.
