• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I have a 610sm, 2006 in a roadrace chassis. I can get kawasaki full synthetic in 10w40 for a great price -- not the viscosity recommended by Husky, but would this be a big deal, or should I get the proper 10w60?
 
I'd at least try to run a 10W50. There are a couple of Husky dealers that stock and ship 10W60. Toy Tech in Grantville, PA is one.
 
Depends on your enviroment.. the varying degrees of climates yhe Huskys are shipoed yo are the real reason they ship with and recomend 10w60. 10w 40 will be fine in the proper climate..
 
My Husky owners manual and service manual both recommend 10W50. Where you guys finding a 10W60 Husky requirement?

Nice looking blog. I like the look of the "Mitovarna". What tail is that you have on there, RS250?
 
Nice bike James. I think It's better for you to follow the husqvarna specification. Especially if your using a thumper on a street bike! For an optimal lubrification it's very important to have the correct viscosity at the different temperatures.
 
Yep -- based on the feedback here, I'll go for some proper 10w60. The local shop that sponsors me doesn't stock it, so I've been able to purchase some agip full synth online. I also plan to due a "superbike" build of the engine -- crank, rod, porting, etc. Perhaps other engines than the 610 might be a better basis for a roadracer, but I got the engine cheap, and it fit into the mito chassis with NO drama. A 6 speed with electric start also makes life in the pits so much easier.
