Road the Reno Dust Devil's Motorcycle Club's "Reno 200" to break-in my new 630. The Dust Devil's put on a challenging 2 day event for the more "dirt oriented Dual Sport". There was a sea of Orange as KTMs were the vast majority in attendance, but my Husq got plenty of interest and compliments.
Saturday was a challenging ~140 miles of forest roads, dual tracks and single tracks. Plenty of opportunity to jump the bike and plenty of challenging single track on the hard splits, even more during the 20 minutes that I got lost!
I road aggressively the first part of the day... not so much the second half as I admit, I was tired!
The second day was extremely rocky and exhausting and somewhat tempered by the tragedy on Friday as the ride had a route designed to view the Reno air race.
When I returned from Saturday's ride my hotel was set up for the families of those killed on Friday. There were police, security and Red Cross personnel in the lobby and they made me promise not to tell the media the location of the victim's families. Grim indeed.
The bike performed flawlessly and I'm really starting to get comfortable on it. I really pushed the limits of the suspension and actually bottomed the front forks. The bike was leaking coolant on the second day and tightening the hose clamps cured the problem but I ended up cutting the second day short as I had been working the bike hard, it had just turned over 600 miles on the second day, and I was concerned about what other bolts/screws might have worked their way loose.
A terrific weekend made somewhat surreal by the tragedy... the Dust Devil's put on a great ride... love my Husq!

If anyone needs an inner airbox for the 630 let me know, my dealer was supposed to get me one for my 610, they gave me the box for the 630 instead.

Check over on Cafe Husky as well. Someone may have spun a bolt insert in theirs. I hear that's a common problem.

My stock rear sprocket is pretty much toast at 4,000 miles. No broken teeth yet, but very hooked and pointed. I will replace with steel for sure.

Ironman are excellent....very tough and long lasting, despite their spidery thin appearance. Best I've used.

Serious! Don't know what was going on last night, but I nuked all the reposts. Sorry about that!

Yeah, the site was down for something last night. I saw some other posts that got repeated a half dozen times, not just yours. They are some nice pics, though!

I put their rear sprocket on my 610 at 6,000 miles and pounded the hell out of it for 14,000 miles and could just barely see some wear starting, just because I had a new one for another bike here, otherwise you wouldn't notice any wear.

I put their front sprocket on at 9,000 miles with a new chain and it fit the splines super nice.

You 630 guys aware that some of the 610's were stripping the splines off the CS at low miles? Check for a tight fitting CS sprocket, if there is slop I'd replace it ASAP.

My front sprocket slid right off after I removed the snap ring. There was no visible spline wear on the countershaft.

No play when you rock the sprocket back and forth against the splines?

That's good, it was hit and miss on the 610.
