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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need help with cooling on '08' TE510

Husqvarna
B Class
I ride this as a snowbike. When going fast down the groomed trails, it seems to run cold. Going slow in the deep snow & or trees it gets hot. I would like to install a thermostat. When it runs cold it goes into an engine stumble and barely runs. I have wrapped the engine to keep snow off, this works good until i go slow.

The bike has the Arrow exhaust with teh PU kit. I will be installing teh JD tuner kit to add some fuel to the sytem.

Anybody have some suggestions on an inline thermostat kit or a take off thermostat i could pick up reasonably.

Any help is appreciated.
 
My 2011 TE310 had one, its in my garage, I have TC hoses on the bike now.
Be glad to sell you the spider hose arrangement (PM), you can cut and install as required. I dont know the temp rating but once you have the size you can find others if you need to adjust the temp opening setting.
KTMs also use inline thermostats on their EXC models, . My 1998 250EXC 2 stroke even had one (that I removed and put SX hoses on). Ive seen the devices on my friends late model Katos as well.
Get into the TE310 or other 450/500 whichever model parts listing catalog and find the thermostat housing then you can use what they have or at least play with the temp rating but have a size to work with.
