Husqvarna TE-610 Owners Sign In Thread.

Those look good mcinfantry, have you seen them fired up or used them on a bike? I looked through the TruckLite catalogue but couldn't find them??

no i have not seen them lit up. im waiting on my acerbis dimension hp. after i see that, ill have a better idea on what, if anything, ill try next. if the acerbis doesnt work, that MAY be what i try.... at least the trucklite has high/low. i run the truck-lite turn signals on my military vehicles...... they work well, so i would hink the same of the headlights.

Can anyone tell me the amount of coolant required to fill up the system from empty on a 2007?

nice.. where'd you go? Middle Fork?

Thank you so much Dan for your offer to borrow your hard to find "Flywheel Puller"

Gentlemen, it's guys like this that make this board, and Huskie owners I might add, the best of the best !!
Thanks again Dan, I'll have it back to you in a flash. I owe you one.
We truely do have a great group of fellas here.......except for that Sampson guy, yea he's trouble

Hey I resemble that remark :huh

And I was going to loan you my ball peen hammer (the big one) and an old punch.


Now gotta find something to fix on my TE------nope nothing to fix.

I'm beginning to feel like the maytag repair man.

I know you guys are always looking for better lighting so just wanted to let you know that I have my SM610's 60/55 watt full headligth assembly and fender for sale here:

the SM headlight put out WAAAAAY more light then the TE. Night and day difference. I downgraded to the TE headlight for the Look

Did a good spring cleaning after all the recent spring mudding and found the back of the air box, or the part you see from the left side of the bike was dried out and the rubber had all kinds of weather check cracks. ???What should I be treating the rubber with??? Tire shin maybe?

If you can find a rubber protective coating (usually silicone based), not a rubber shine product like armourall, that should help prevent dry rot & cracking. I work in the rubber industry & we used to use silicone spray as a mould release agent, best coating I ever found for rubber (tires, etc.) & plastic sadly we haven't used it in a decade. I recall some spray on sidewall shine products claimed to be 100% silicone protectant, but can't recall the brand name

My SM610 had a Barnett clutch cable installed when I purchased it recently. After a few rides, I noticed the backside adjuster nut vibrated loose which clamps it to the engine mounting bracket. Do you have any tips for securing the clutch cable elbow to the bracket without removing the airbox or gas tank?

It's a very tight area to get a 12mm wrench on the 2 adjuster nuts to clamp tightly on the mounting bracket.

Hello Fellas,

Just picked up my 2008 today, first nice day in Michigan and got to enjoy a little 5 mile ride at dealer. Ready for more.

One question are 610 supposed to come with a factory rear luggage rack? My dealer told me nothing was shipped with bike.

Thanks for the help

John

Has anyone had to replace their cam chains yet? Ive heard that it seems to wear out fairly rapidly, like the 10,000km mark?
Or is it a tensioner problem.

John,

My dealer had same story, I am now looking at a couple of aftermarket racks which will fit.

Hey Frank you will have the flywheel puller on Monday! I waited 3 months for it to arrrve on a slow boat from Italy!

Robodogg,

You hit the nail on the head...... Middle Fork it was......LOL

Mine came with the bike-----but was not mounted------I did that myself-----it's a nice sturdy rack-----the subframe on these bikes is sturdy too----if they were going to break----mine would have by now.

It's nice having a sturdy rack and sub-frame------some bikes (especially the Honda's) have had some bad breakage problems.

I believe that the 2007's came with a rack that you had to install yourself. You have to buy your own for 2008. I put the Moto Billet rack on my bike, looks good, but I have not had a chance to use it yet.

I was up there a few weeks ago on the VStrom 1000.. would have been lots more fun on the Husky.. we need to get together with Hoder and a few other Seattle area 610 owners and do some extreme off road exploring this summer

taking mine to the Desert 100 in a few weeks.. you going?

Thanks for the replies fellas! Looks like ProMoto Billet is going to get some of my money too.
