Makes me glad I have a Power Comander. I set all my fuel flow with my laptop. And if I don't have the laptop? I can use three push buttons to set it.
My bike is in pieces and I forgot to note what side the shock rebound damping adjustment (bottom of the shock) was on when I pulled the shock for servicing. Can anyone tell me if it matters in terms of ease of access for adjustment? Is one side easier than the other to gain access to it?
Off the top of my head I seem to remember you want to have your rebound adapter on the NON-CHAIN side so you can actually get to it to adjust it down on the bottom Mine (and some others) came backward from the factory and I had to disconnect/switch it.
Geek & Boatman - thanks. I got to take better notes when I'm ripping stuff apart. 17,000 km on the original shock - figured it was time for a refresh. It's off getting some fresh oil and nitrogen while I refurbish the accumulated wear and tear on the rest of the bike.
Just replace my temp sensor also at about 1300 miles. It was very hard to start but did not notice the fuel mileage changing. I don't have the lambda sensor in and have the resistor wired for the power up mod. Also did not see the fan on a lot. Seems to start better but i was down in Phoenix last time I tried. Like you say easy to replace but PITA to have to bother.
Where did you send the shock and do you mind me asking what it is costing to get fresh oil and a nitrogen recharge? Mine desperately needs the same...
Hi All I picked up my shiny new TE61o last night, I can not wait until the weekend to get it dirty. Cheers Craig
I replaced mine a year ago after many days of trouble shooting. Haven´t ridden it much since, but it sure was hard to start before replacing. Still have the lambda sond (Can´t make come loose no matter what I use...).
Oh yes! I was thinking to build back my ie to '07 spec. in may 2008 I had the choice to buy the '07 carb model (new, 1000 EUR less), or the '08 ie. I'm very sure I took the wrong one. I'll recheck all the wiring loom, clean and redo all the junctions maybe change the complete loom straight away. I hope that the temp sensor will then work a little longer.
I just gave it to a local suspension tuner (here in Calgary). I'm not having it revalved, just serviced. He disassembles it, cleans all the components and reassembles with fresh oil and nitrogen for $110 CDN.
Take some pics and have a great time! We just got a new Husky dealer here in Albuquerque so they are having an open house on Saturday night....Ill be there. I hope to get to ride a new 630 if they have any, or at least a Hypermotard 7 since they just got some.

I was happy there were no leaks, but a couple of days later I kept looking at the factory gasket sitting on the shelf in the garage. Since the bike was still apart I talked myself into putting the factory gasket on. I kept thinking how pissed I'd be if I did not and got a leak out in the woods with banjos playing far off in the distance and getting closer and closer as I'm pushing the bike.:eek1 After that thought I immediately pulled the pump off! Apparently the clearance in the water pump is so close that by not putting the factory gasket on the fins made contact with the pump housing and busted them off. When I screw something up I don't do it half assed, even the nut and part of the cam shaft busted off!<v:shape id=_x0000_i1029 style="WIDTH: 18pt; HEIGHT: 17.25pt" alt="0" type="#_x0000_t75"> <v:imagedata o:href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/advrider/deal.gif" src="file:///C:\DOCUME~1\cprestwo\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image003.gif"></v:imagedata></v:shape><o></o> <o></o> <o></o> So I guess my TE busted a nut.

From Motorcycle Daily Husqvarna Sales Rise in 2009 Despite Industry Slump By Dirck J. Edge Bookmark and Share BMW's recent acquisition of Husqvarna Motorcycles coincides with the dirt bike manufacturer's relative success in the U.S. market for calendar year 2009. According to a press release from Husqvarna (below), U.S. mortorcycle sales as a whole declined 41%, yet Husqvarna sales in this country were up 9% compared to 2008. Here is the press release from Husqvarna. Woodcliff Lake, NJ - While the U.S. motorcycle market endured some tough times as a whole in 2009, Husqvarna had a winning year on the track and in the sales department. "Retail sales were up 9% compared to 2008," says Husqvarna Motorcycles North America President Mark Brady. "This was a phenomenal result considering that 2009 was our first full year of operation in the USA." According to the just-released industry sales figures U.S. motorcycle sales declined 41% in the past year, yet Husqvarna is happy to have bucked this negative trend. "Our sales accelerated through the end of the year, increasing 98% for the last two months of the year!" This late sales spike pushed Husqvarna up to 9% in y-t-d sales overall. "This is a true testament to both our dedicated dealers and great new products, such as the 250cc model range," explains Brady. Race results also helped keep Husqvarna sales on the gas. Great performances by Glenn Kearney in the GNCC series (not to mention winning the overall at The Little Brown Jug Enduro), combined with Canadian import Cory Graffunder's EnduroCross podiums, Zip-Ty Racing taking Top 2-Stroke honors at the infamous Glen Helen 24 Hours and Adrien Chareyre capturing an X Games SupermotoX medal were all proud moments. However, the 2009 Husqvarna highlight had to be Desert Master Nick Burson winning the AMA D-37 Desert #1 plate and taking first overall honors at California's legendary Elsinore Grand Prix. "It is clear from the results that we put some early housekeeping in order, offered a top quality product and presented one of the best retail financing programs in the entire industry," says Brady. He is quick to add that Husqvarna will continue with 6.99% financing for 2010 and even better bikes! "We have some exciting new models joining the range, including the all-new TE630 and SM630. We have also updated the popular 250 model range and we will be announcing some serious 2010 race series sponsorships shortly."
We now have a Husky dealer here in Albuquerque. PJ's triumph, they are the Duc and tri dealer. They are having an open house, tonight. I was thiking of taking a list of stuff we as 610 owners know they should stock....what shall I tell them? I think the parts guy is a member here but not sure. PJ's is a great shop BTW, I am really glad it was them that took on Husky instead of the local BMW shop since they are very BMW if you know what I mean.
Don't know about on here, but on supermotojunkie.. http://www.supermotojunkie.com/showthread.php?t=60551
That truly sucks. I will be interested to hear where in the cooling system you will find the broken bits. On the bright side - none of the loose metal should find its way in to the oil.
