Wow... that is some serious air flowage. Was there a noticeable boost after opening it up like that ? My little pin holes seem insignificant by comparison.
Seat of the pants there is a noticeable difference. I'm going to have to adjust with tuner but for now it feels and sounds great. I ride with MX boots everytime and felt that they were covering too much of the stock design.
Just got home from a few weeks in Utah and managed to snap a few photos while we were there... Me at the top of the Burr Trail switchbacks... Eric is absolutely loving his 610... Double bonus...2 610's!
I really wish there was an aftermarket airbox for the 610 - closer to the 630 that moved the intakes up out the way. Having been on a 700km weekend trip with a number of water crossings (that were not even at their fullest) I would really like that peace of mind! Any suggestions other than duct (duck?) tape? A real design weakness for a bike like this IMHO.
I don't ride through water crossings but I too wish there was a different design. Or at least a good seal on the air box. I just plan on frequently cleaning the filter but, that doesn't solve any water dilemmas...
Just got an amazing deal on an '07 610 from a friend. Been waiting for it to come back from the mechanic forever, but finally got it and was able to put the first 40 miles on it over the weekend. Couldn't be more thrilled!
Beautiful bike, Spencer! I really like the gray ones...they're special! I just got back from a week in Nevada and Oregon on my `07 SM610. Here she is in her dirty clothes I'm using Eric's stock `06 TE610 tank because my IMS 5gal developed a leak while on the trailer on the way out there...
Hi WC--- I still think that 610 of yours looks the deal and has such a attitude hehe--Glad to hear Eric is loving his 610TE --when did he get one ? sorry i was busy for quite a while --riding the last couple of monthsand remember him having a orange -- I am still enjoying ALL my Hussies and one day soon i will uncrate --Madonna --that is still in the crate when my 09 te needs rebuilding hehe. Why Madonna ??? the song ---like a Virgin -hehe
Hello there! Here comes a few photos of my TE610 which is running on 17``supermotardwheels. The engine is modified with bigbore-kit and a racecam and ported cyl.head. About 70 hp after modification is nice! Best wishes from Sweden, you guys in US seem to have nicer terrain to ride in than in Europe!
Sweet ! 70 HP? Wow !! So, does the big bore kit make it an actual 610 ? I see you've got the LV as well. Very very nice. Post a vid if you've got any.
ele984, do you think there'd be a way to get that kit in the U.S.? Like, it isn't some one off thing that you bought or had custom made by a machine shop, but it's actually from an aftermarket manufacturer? And it was dynode at 70 hp? My bike is probably on the high side of 50, and I've got all the aftermarket upgrades done available here. And here's my 09 SM(sorry for the cellphone pictures):
