Hi, my bike is running rich at the moment and instead of adjust the carb I figured I should change the air filter first as it is looking a bit worse for wear. The trouble is that I don't know how to find one, all of the eBay listings are for 2006 onwards which has the different shaped air box. The air box itself has such a terrible fit to the carb boot that I was wondering if it would be worth buying a cone filter and attaching that onto the carb instead? A 2001 air filter is of this shape: Edit: Just had a quick Google and it is possible to buy air filter material, but I would need to know what density wouldn't I? Would this be okay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/3515...rlsatarget=pla-181484342946&adtype=pla&crdt=0 I won't be able to use the supporting brace though. Or would a cone like I mentioned earlier be a better option? Thanks. Edit: Well I have found one for a TC (motocross) 610: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Husqvarna-TC-610-2000-Athena-Air-Filter-/400910273983? And according to the parts fiche it is the same: What's more is that they are actually cheaper via a Husqvarna dealer than eBay. That is assuming they haven't discontinued them though. Looks like I've answered my own question. Maybe I should follow this process before I post a thread, but posting a thread seems to help my thought process. Edit: Scratch that, different part numbers on the website (huskymoto.co.uk). 610 regular: 8000 84308 610 TC: 8M00 73458 £10 for the motocross one vs £36 for the 610 SM/TE! According to the parts fiche they are the same shape though and fit the same airbox! Can anyone shed any light?
That's just a link to the twinair website, I even used my intitiative and clicked on distributors but none of them seem official. I just got a gmail address which looked like some guy's bedroom business. Gonna call my local official dealer and ask them if there is any difference in the two filters.
Sorry just trying to help - basically showing you that they are available. I will not get into cone filter options as you will then just get the UNI or K&N website … Basic cone filter fine if motard and no off road. Otherwise you could consider something like I have done:http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/te-610-airbox-again.22136/page-2#post-417761
If there's room a choice filter will work, but it'll take big jetting changes to get it to run correctly.
I don't want to spend money on different jets, all I want is a clean friggin' air filter. Is that too much to ask!? Everywhere on eBay seems to stock for 2006 onwards with the different air both design for some reason. So what should one normally do in this situation because these are unchartered waters for me. Off road is my usual riding, supermoto wheels are only on occasionally so it is essential that the air filter is dirt and water proof. Edit: Looks like I might have found one! But it's in Europe:http://www.mx-power.eu/Twin-Air-air-filter-Husqvarna-Dual-610-E/S-98-04
You just need to buy the OEM one unfortunately. The others you are finding are different. I went thru this with my 2000 TE 610E. That is a very limited filter different than all of the others. Too bad you are not in the US as I may have one laying around that I do not need since I sold that bike years ago. The other filter fits the competition 610s previous to yours that is why you keep finding it. It also fits the later models but it does NOT fit yours.
Well I always have OEM to fall back on I guess. Although the one that I linked to in post #7 (http://www.mx-power.eu/Twin-Air-air-filter-Husqvarna-Dual-610-E/S-98-04) does look exactly like the OEM but the first pic is of the other types. And then the subsequent pics look like the 610 one: It lists it as being compatible with the "Husqvarna Dual E/S" 98-04 which I assume means dual sport electric start. I figure I will go ahead and order that assuming listed correctly.

Yes that's the correct one, but I have already found it on that link I posted. Those are both from the US so the one I ordered will get to me faster but thanks anyway.
The forum was kinda playing up yesterday so I couldn't upload these pics but I copped a few more: I had a quick Google because I had never heard of oiling an air filter before and apparently gearbox oil is okay in substitute of filter oil which I had some laying around of. Also, old filter compared to new, you could see why it needed replacement!
If you are not au fait with foam filters then also note not to over oil - just work it through evenly without wringing filter. Should not drip! A good tip is to do this in a plastic bag with disposable gloves on. Also importantly grease the flange where it makes contact (the orange bit) - just an even thin smear to ensure good seal.
