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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lines rubbing gauges

Anyone else have the problem of their brake line rubbing the side of the gauges? I've got a 2013 te310r that I recently purchased & the lines keep getting caught & rubbing the side of the gauges.

If anyone has a 2013 TE310r and isn't having this issue and wouldn't mind....could you post up a few pics of the routing of the lines. Maybe the PO routed something wrong. Thanks

I believe TE310r's ('13-'14) did not come with a key. My brake line is about where your key is; the handle bar pad and the brake line are sorta blocking the view of the speedo. NBD though.

Mount your (after-market?) key switch where the stupid "FI" warning light is, to the right of your speedo (this is the stock position on '11-'12 TE310 AFAIK) and put the stupid led warning light anywhere- even out of sight (or maybe move the metal key switch over to the right & mount the LED there if you feel like you need it. You might even be able to use the handle bar pad then. Actually, that might work for the key switch itself... though the brake line might interfere with the key insertion/extraction).

good luck.
 
Thanks for the ideas.
Ya, I installed the key on it. The lines have never ran right where the key is at. They usually come around the side of the gauges and then rub. I'll have to look at it some more, it's almost like they're too tight somewhere and don't have enough "play" to loop over the gauges and down the fork. That's why I was looking for some photos to see if I could figure out if that was the case.
 
I'll take a pic of mine and post here in a bit.

(later on: I got a few pics. note how much slack there is NOT down near the rotor. I have more pics too)

here is one where you can see 90% of the brake line & speedo sensor...

and this one shows them across the field of view...

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to do that for me. That helps, much appreciated. I'm going to try and get more of that slack up top like what's shown on yours, that should help. For some reason they're really tight on might across the top.
