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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi, newbie to the site and was wondering what the difference was between te310 & te310r.
having a look at a 13 model te310 on saturday that has very low k's on it and the price is right.
 
i must have been a good boy as santa let me get 2012 te 310 with only 503ks on it for $5500 with husky boots, fly racing barricade body armour and a husky jersey. one very happy husky owner.
 
No expert here by any means, but some of the major differences in a '13 Te310R (U.S. model) from prior models as I understand it are: 1.Red head cylinder head. An newer design head that supposedly has some BMW engineering in it. Has steel valves instead of titanium ones and has screw type "finger" cam followers/ adjusters instead of shims. 2. May (not sure of this) have an additional bearing on crankshaft (outboard of it). 3. Has Keihin fuel injection instead of Mikuni. (Easier to get bike running right). 4. Condenser/capacitor added to ignition system lets you kick start the bike with a low/dead battery. Te310s supposedly couldn't do that. 5. Modified exhaust system to be compatible with the new, red, cylinder head. 6. Different gusseting on frames.7. Can't switch between different ignition maps like you once could. Modified/ relocated charcoal canister evaporative emission control system, too. If I'm wrong on any of this, I'm sure other, more knowledgable members will chime in and set me straight...
 
The R models don't come with a key for ignition or a working hour meter either. Important to point out that the 2011 and 2012 models differ from the 2010 and older series. The TE310 line became x-lite series starting in 2011 so are we comparing x lite to x lite here? 2011-2012 = x lite Mikuni FI non red head. 2013-2014 = Red head keihin FI. Along with what was stated above.
 
According to the manual, the valves still require shims to change clearances. Somehow I thought that with the finger followers that they used screw adjusters (which usually makes valve adjustment a lot easier). Is the manual talking about a non-red head engine?
