Bronzebronco- I bow to you. Great job. How was the frame? Looks as though the steerer tube would have been messed up.
Muddy, ericv-----had a bad wreck back in may. at night, took out a large dog running at me in the road. broken bones and broken husq. took a new(used) frame , forks fuel tank, radiators and front wheel. and the best part, i picked up a nearly new leo vince full titanium setup for dirt cheap! picked up a new white trailtech x2, a white front fender and a bunch of little new tidbits. used what i could off the heap of parts. engine, swingy, rear tire and most plastics usable. banged up, but usable. been very cold and snowy here still! but ive managed to put almost 100mi since the rebuild. so far so good! ----not sure bout the color layout yet. may need white rear fender to balance it out----- feels great to have her back !
Had the TE down in Saline & Death Valley a couple months back. The bike was flawless and held up very well against the KTMs.
New to me 2000 Husqvarna SM610S. Hall's Cycle in Springfield, IL just fully serviced (including new brake pads) and added Ricochet skid plate and 3.7 gallon tank they had sittin' around. Bike had a carb needing cleaning, new camchain and an right exhaust gasket (besides service). Riding it now makes me wonder how long I'll keep my license. 53 years old. Riding since I was 9 years old. Best braking and quickest accelerating bike (to 60 mph anyway) I've owned was a highly modded 2005 Yamaha FZ1 (leftover). This is not nearly as fast BUT MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE stopping ability. I love this bike. Tim
here's what i do with the 610 on the weekends. http://youtu.be/TYKOPFBO1O0?t=3m37s being followed thru turns 1-4
Here's my yoke. Still a work in progress. Plastics aren't in great shape and a bit of a misfire which I'm pretty sure is down to a lose connection someplace. Headlight on it when I bought it was a non road legal crappy dual mini halogens. This one is from a DR125 with 60/55w.
Got mine out for a great ride in the West Virginia Eastern Panhandle last weekend - Seneca Rocks in the background
That's funny Ike, just got back from there Monday. Spent Friday , Saturday and Sunday AVDing. Primitive camping at Laural Fork State park in the Monongahella Nation Forest. Wanted to try the SM in some light ADVing. Started with these Shinko 705's My riding partner.. toalosis Packed and ready. Nice back country roads. A dead end. Almost home after app 500+ miles , broke a master link. Small set back. Repaired and on our way. Time to clean her up. Special thanks to woodschick for inspiring me to dual sport my SuMo It can be done. We are alredy planning our fall trip! yahoooooo
I did a three day ride with "GPSKevin" in Nevada last weekend. The 610 did very well in a flock of Orange. We started in Tonopah NV and rode to Austin the first night. Then to Eureka the second night, and back to Tonopah on the third day. About 600 miles total. Great people, weather and scenery.
