I was hoping to get it done today but life happened so it might be couple of days. The pic below shows that the PO did. I will do something similar with some left over 1/4" aluminum stock that I have left over. The bracket actually drops the exhaust can about 1/2" and it really helps it clear the turn signal and not melt it. I am looking to keep that drop in the repair. I will get some better pics when I am done.

Take a very good look at the mid pipe with the can lowered like that, it might rub on the back of the starter or top of side case. I found mine slightly rubbing my starter in the reg position.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely check that out to make sure it is not rubbing.

I can say, not hypothetically, them things are really loud

And has anyone done anything creative to repair/re-enforce the subframe when the muffler support studs rip out? Again, ya know "hypothetically speaking"

Hello xymo, (It took me 2 months to get to read the forum. Ha. )

I don't think so.

My impression is: with the O2 sensor installed, the ECU takes in all it's parameters and adjusts the injectors to meet a
pre programmed Air/Fuel Ratio........14.2---14.7? (Cafe Husky reference?).
That's why I think adding "flow" through a LV pipe.....OR straight pipe will not "lean" out the AFR as much as many contend.
It will on a carbed engine where the jets dictate fuel flow...........but I think the FI bikes with O2 installed do a lot more
"compensating" than we realize. This is actually a question I have for our more educated ECU programmers........
Am I semi correct?
I haven't gone through all the latest CafeHusky posts or the 630/650 threads so maybe more ECU info has been addressed.........

Doing the PU kit apparently sets the AFR at a flatline rich state and simply overpowers any opening of air flow setups
from producing too lean a mixture.........I think.

Introduction: I picked up a stock 08 in December with 1300 miles that was originally sold out of Ferracci in Doylestown, PA.
I think this thing rips........no flatness off idle, no stuttering or surging......just spins up my poor old 50% Karoo right off of idle.........2nd gear is a blast.
The second owner seller told me he did have Ferracci look at it for some surging after he first got it in 2010 with 700 miles and the only thing they did was install an Iridium plug. I only got 2 good hrs on it at Brown Mtn ORV park near Morganton, NC before we came south for the winter so she's sleeping in the garage while I learn all that I can from you wonderful folks.

I did have a quick chat with Eraldo Ferracci himself, even though I didn't recognize it at the time, a couple weeks ago and he stated the dealership "tunes" out any factory leaness on all their bikes before selling. He had to leave to fetch a bike ,so our conversation was brief, but he was going to forward any records they might have on what "tuning" they had done on my bike during it's servicing..........but I haven't received any of that yet.

So.........as one poster stated several pages back, some dealers do tune the FI bikes before selling. I don't know what
software Ferracci uses but for being supposedly stock, with O2 sensor and OEM pipe, my bike sure seems strong.......
so I'm happy.
Actually, for as loud as the OEM pipe is, I think it must be allowing a pretty good flow through the Cat.......just my quick observation.
I only hit the 5500 rev light a few times on my initial ride so I really didn't get a chance to do any higher RPM road work or get a feel for high RPM restrictions..........that low and mid torque it's presently got is good enough for me.

Thanks for all the info friends...........glad to be here. Oh, and ......I love this bike.

I wanted to purchase a set of SME Axle block/sliders for my SM610 a few weeks back only to find SME was closed and the parts were unobtanium. So I made some for myself.

I've made a royalty arrangement with Harry of SME and will soon have 25 sets of these ready to sell. The blocks are done, I'm just waiting for the puck material to finish them up. I had a small chunk of material laying around so I made a couple of pucks so I could get some pictures out.

If interested, contact me through my website (www.six-ninedesign.com) , there's nothing there about these block/sliders, its just a way to email me directly without having to post my email addy here or deal with PM's.

I'm having probs. figuring out how to load a photo here, but follow this link: http://s1358.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=0
, and you'll see a pic of the Axle Block/Sliders I'm offering.

Happy Dang New Year!

Okey Dokey, my missing material finally showed up so the pucks are done and these suckers are ready to ship. $90 pr includes shipping within the continental US. If you'd like some please do not PM me through the forum, but contact me through my business website: www.six-ninedesign.com.

Oh yeah, these will fit other Husky models. The part number for the OEM axle block is: 8000 96941, if your bike whatever model it is, has axle blocks with that part number (Hall's has all the parts manual available to see on their website) then these babies will work for you. You can email me if you'd like a drawing showing all the pertinent dimensions to check compatibility.

Here's a link to a photo of these parts: http://s1358.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=0


Happy riding!
Ross

Dude! What are you hawking? The link you provide is dead, the page (when I fill in the .com) shows a bunch of stuff - none of which is Husky related???? And I've looked...Twice!

He's a terrorist!!!!!!! Pass me a clip.

He emailed me. He's actually not a terrorist but a luthier with a photo upload problem. :)

Hopefully solved soon - because the pics of the products he sent look pretty cool.

[Ross Shafer]

In response to the "Dude, what are you hawking?" and "he's a terrorist post" ....I didn't realize my description of the SME style axle block/sliders was so vague. My intent in directing folks to my website was not to see the sliders (there's nothing about them there), but simply as a way to contact me through direct email as opposed to dealing PM's or posting my email addy here (I'm told that a sure way to invite spam/scam emails).

These sliders are a side project I did in my shop for myself and thought some other folks might want some since SME no longer makes them. I do freelance product design and development work which is what my website is about. I do no sales through my website. I hope this explanation and this link to a photo of these parts: http://s1358.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=0
clears up any confusion or homeland security concerns....save your bullets, you have nothing to fear from me.

Sorry, I'm still not able to get the linked photo to show up in my post...While I've posted photos with no probIem on at least 4 other forums...I guess I'm tech challenged when it comes to posting things on this and one other forum.

The Broxton Bridge Dualsport event in Jan was an absolute Blast, and confirmed my desire to run as many dual sport events and enduros as I can fit into my work schedule. Unfortunately, a one bike promise to my wife means the TE has to go if I want a lighter steed. If I lived near the mountains like BarberPole, I'd be keeping this bike another ten years at least, but rocks, hills washed out jeep trails are all 5-8 hours away.
Xymotic, Xcuvator, 1Lunger, and so many others, thanks for all the TE610 specific tips and generally getting me back up to speed after that 26 year sebatical from riding. Maybe I'll even hit one of the enduros up near you 1Lunger.
Well, time to get to work on the craigslist posting. I'll post a link when it's done. If no one jumps on it right away, I may be persuaded to pull the Rekluse if anyone wants it. Seems like a got 50-100 miles before the dualsport and put another 100-120 on there. Even if not from me, get one! The things make riding the TE in technical stuff SOOOOO much easier!

Anyone got a tagable bike (TE250, 310, 300XC-W, 450 EXC, etc.) they want to sell)?

Here's the link to Craigslist add. http://charleston.craigslist.org/mcy/3589319483.html

All you have to do is copy and paste the IMG link from photobucket in your post like this:

You should post these on SuperMoto Junkie. You'll sell a bunch of these. BTW, Nice work!
