Ah yes, we agree on that.
I meant my experience is opposite because I have ridden the older 250, but I have never ridden one of the newer, fuel injected models (like your 310R).

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Looking for information on a TE310R and TE250

ah, gotcha... makes sense now.
yeah, even though the bikes share a very-common lineage, the 310r feels... I dunno, "brittle". Kinda like 125cc MX bikes in the early to mid '70s (Bultaco, Monark, Sachs, Puch, yes-Husky): they felt like the could explode at any minute for no apparent reason. My 310r feels this way; but it hasn't let me down in 2000 miles yet, and I'm still loving it.
Thanks to MXA/Tom White for this image:

Hey Tinken, I emailed you earlier but not sure if it went through. I have a stupid question. The EarthX battery does not fit into the stock casing. How do you all mount the battery in on a TXC 310? Do you file the stock casing or not use it at all? Thanks for your help.
Crazy that it is to big...can you take a picture? Is it possible you battery box is warped?

Don't bother with the tray. Use some long zip ties or two to extend them and use the loops/weep holes at the bottom of the fender shelf and loop over as shown. They can then be slid to the side to remove the battery. For more security, attach two of the included pads on the bottom of the battery as they will then help to hold the battery base firm;ly in place. The bebefit of doing it this way is securing it away from the frame rail as if you didn't it would bounce and potentially short as well, the seat interface is not like it is on the stock battery. I place a old patch of a wetsuit behind the battery as well. In 2 years still stays snug. At first I had a third tie across the battery to the metal tabs but found unnecessary.

All you need to do is remove the 3 small ribs from each side of the battery box with a Dremil tool (I used a mill and plunge cut them off).
The battery fits perfect in the stock battery box once the 3 ribs are removed from each side (6 total). It also has a "factory" look compared to zip-ties. You can then use the sticky foam supplied with the battery to make good contact wiht the seat to keep it in place while you ride.
