The headlight bolts right in. The headlight comes with the male and female end of the plug that your solder to the headlight low beam wires.

Wow, that sounds easy and it must be a huge improvement in light output. I have an '07 with the older headlight shroud and have wanted to get the newer one just because I think it looks better. But add that Rigid light and it becomes a functional improvement as well.

I just bought a 2007 TE510. A bit rough , but running.
# 1 big issue...

Do I have any chance of finding a used Clutch Case and cover?

Fast1 · 12-22-2012, 03:28 PM

J & B Weld?

AustinJake · 12-22-2012, 05:47 PM

The infamous kickstart crack....another example, not really amenable to a JBWeld fix, I wouldn't think.

biggsxr · 12-22-2012, 08:42 PM

This is beyond JB weld, epoxy, etc, Mine is totally detached as well, cracked top to bottom, plus it propagated to the clutch cover. I'm not sure about the inner RH Case yet.
More pics;

I can TIG weld, so I'll give it a go. I just brought it home today, so I'm beginning my search for knowledge; Factory Manuals, owner's manuals, "they all do that" knowledge. Seems they all self destruct upon kick start eventually... suck.

I just bought a 2007 TE 450. The chassis, forks and other parts have a lot of rust on them but it works well. I am wondering why it feels a lot faster than my 2010? It makes less noise and runs stronger. It seams that it is geared a little shorter and that may be the difference. Both are full power as far as I can tell.

2008-2010 TE 310, 450, 510
Watch for rubbed wire bundle into the ECU where it rests on the fuel injector bracket. On mine, the Brown with white stripe wire had a bare spot and was grounding to the injector bracket. This wire is connected to:
Dashboard, DC relay, RH switch, Main switch, Pump relay, Fan relay, ECU interface, ECU, O2 sensor

The short was weakening my spark to the plug, the plug fouled badly, I fixed the wire and put my old 10,000 mile plug in, and it started right up.

I. Just put a Safari tank on my 2009 TE 510 Everything fit well except the wiring to the in tank fuel pump was to short. I had to unwrap the wiring harness and reroute the pump wires. Has anyone else had this problem. Also the seat is a lot harder to put on. I,m not sure what to do about the seat fitting because the tank can not be moved forward and the seat needs to be moved farther forward to be able to latch it.

I have to gently pry my IMS tank forward to get it to fit over the (2) steel studs that are on the frame, the ones with the rubber grommet on them. Once my tank is properly seated, the seat will fit as it should.

I didn't have any issue installing the tank at all, including the wiring, but the Corbin seat did not fit, no matter what, and the stock seat needed the front slot dremeled out a bit to make fit.

I think I need to Dremel the front slot on the seat and it will fit better. Thanks for info.

OU812 · 01-19-2013, 06:27 AM

I looked at an 07' 510. Really like the look and having 1000 miles it seems to run right.
The Akropovic? sounds nice and not obtrusive.
Already re sprung for my weight.
Hard not to just lay down the cash.
Great thread folks!
This would be my 1st Husky.....
