    2011 TE630, 8,800 miles. Pronounced dead two weeks ago- rod banged through the bottom case. Either the rod itself, or some kind of tiny nugget w/in the engine broke off and by dumb luck was right under the rod on the downstroke.

    image.jpg carburetor to cylinder head union failing. Just this morning discovered this. Some silicon sealant until I can get a new part.

    Also saw this.... image.jpg
    Left side of photo where the airbox receives the crankcase vent from the cylinder head valve cover.
    The rubber airbox nipple is failing. I think I will cap the airbox there and put a small K&N vent filter on the breather hose.
    In the brief time of use of my TE, only minimal vapors have gone into the airbox, no quantity loss noted from engine oil.

    Last posted in April 2013, at 14,000 miles, now at 19,000 miles, on my 4th fuel pump, 20th rear tire, hard to believe I ran it at 60mph for 50 miles with no coolant at 6,000 miles....the engine is indestructible.

    05 TE 450 basket case unknow miles, I have started to work on her. Front and rear wheel bearings replaced rear swing arm and linkage bearings along with rear shock rebuild and new tyres. New front and rear brake pads and pins, not forgeting new intake mainfold. after a short run even though she's a little down on compression but not burning oil there are now metal particles all around the oil filter so it now looks like time for a motor rebuild.

    2007 TE 450 6000 miles Awesome bike other than normal maintenance oil and filter every second ride and a clean air filter every ride.
    the only thing a had to do was to service the rear shock, replace the rear linkage bearings and brake pads nothing much. oh and lots of tyres i cannot smile enough every time i ride this bike.

    New one to me 2010 husky te 510 3000 miles havent ridden it yet, other than fitting a new chain and sprockets, front and rear brake pads and tyres not forgetting a grease up. oil and filters and a couple minor cosmetic changes thats all. Time will tell but if she is as good as all the other huskys ive had she will be a keeper for life.
