  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

2007 TE510

Ok, I sold my 08 TE610 yesterday. Felt it was too big for the woods and I didn't like that it didn't have a kick starter and wouldn't run if the battery died. Soooo, today I'm having some sellers remorse. Soooo, now I'm looking at a 2007 TE510 with 4K miles. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with the TE510? Ingot a good deal on the 610, so I'm still going to be ahead if I buy the 510.
 
I have the 450 model 2007. My MOTO has close to that many miles without issues. It is a handfulbin the tight stuff. The price seems a little high. What does it have for extras?
 
Would it be significantly easier on trails than my 08 TE610? I didn't post the price? But, since you mentioned it, it's $2800. It has a Desert Tank, Bark-Busters, Acerbis LED headlight, Seal Savers, Extra set of Knobs, Moose Fender Pack, and New Grips.
 
That sounds about right. The fun factor will be significant. I have never riden a 610, but it should have better gearing, and be lighter.

To the nearest Kilogram, the following bike weghts are:

TE 610 141 Kg
TE 510 112 Kg
TE 310 107 kg
TE 250 102 Kg

As you can see the TE 510 is a lot lighter than the 610 and is a few shades heavier than the lightest TE250.

So in the woods it should be ok, just get your throttle control right.
Lotsa people on this forum have 510's and love them.

While the 610 is a better Dual Sport option than the 510, the 510 will be a better offroad / woods option.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I did buy the TE510 last night, but got home very late. Now it's time for me to start looking it over and checking everything out before I take her out for some testing :)
