Husqvarna TE630

[955616846]

For the 630s chain nothing except Amsoil 20W50 with about 5000km on it.

Anyone that argues with that is an idiot!

For what its worth I just had a battery fail (internally I assume - from perfectly fine to totally dead in an instant) on my DR (similar AGM battery to what the husky uses). Imho for an off road bike a useable kicker is mighty nice to have. I don't doubt that george didn't get it to work - the really useful thing to know would be why. It is most certainly not due to compression ratio or anything of that sort (we kick start 'berg 650s, XR650Rs, older 610s, LC4s etc with no troubles). Kick start gear ratio could be the issue, something electrical, I don't know - but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out and perhaps overcome.

The arguement about lubing an o-ring chain is endless. May depend on what conditions you ride in. In dusty sand the lube creates a grinding power that sticks to the chain and does a number on the sprockets. Mostly road riding is different.

As far as Amsoil - I won't drink that over priced koolaid.

Yeah, but George makes good $$$ at making quality solutions to some of the most common issues/personality quirks that Huskys have had over the years. Like the bad ass LED headlight that fits in the stock mask, hyrdo clutch for the 610, FINALLY the external fuel pump setup, etc..So I would think that if there was even an inkiling (sp) that it was somewhat plausable you wouldn't hear a "doesn't work", or "not happening" from him. It''d just be another oportunity for him, so I'd think you'd I hear a different response from him about it than that if it was anywhere realistic.

Then again, I thought one of the few things EVERYONE did when prepping their bikes was removing/shorting out that circuit since it's one of the most common issues with DOT bikes, especially enduro/ADV bikes that might end up on the ground more often.. At least that's how I've seen it done since I was 6YO.

Learn how to read. The circuit tested fine. Thus the reason to test other circuits. It was the clutch handlebar mount and sensor threads causing the problem. But you know everything right master mechanic......

So you are only 7 years old now>.

Would be nice if his cheerleaders put down their pomp-pomps and actually found out why from their squad leader wouldn't it..

It took me seemingly forever, to remember how to use the ignore option, problem solved, all's well...

Isn't it "pom-poms"????

Yes Fast is uber obnoxious - but he brings up some real good points.
We should try to find an answer instead of attacking him.

[Stroker Ace]

I'll try it one more time...George Erl's ( Uptite Husqvarna) phone number is

714-540-2920 He will be happy to explain it in details that even all of the mechanical engineers will understand.


Tell him I said hi.

Happy Trails......

Thats ok ,, its fun and exciting playing with keyboard jockeys that allways move the topic of conversation to something other than what it started out as to avoid the predicament they got themselves in and save face to those that don't know any better.

Hi. Just completed a dusty 1600k ride, to be with family over Christmas. Decided might be a good idea to service the airfilter. What I found has has left me Extremely ''PISSED OFF''. The Rockercover breather hose not attached to the back of the airbox! This has allowed the airfilter to be bypassed ,by insects and small rocks all caught by the steel mesh. The motor still runs fine but i'm sure the motor has been Dusted.

How long its been disconnected is anybodies guess Maybe from New or 1st service.

Now my main concern is how this can be claimed on warranty Re reliability/longevity of motor. The dealer
is closed until 29th

Has anyone had this or some similar happen and did you deal with it under warranty Cheers an hope you christmas was better than mine. Hayden

Many will strip a nwew bike when they get to check for this kinda shit.

Not putting you down - I don't do either.
