• 4 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     TE = 4st Enduro & TC = 4st Cross

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 510smr Daily Rider

I'm running on rich side according to AFR. Still burning my pants to midpipe... Valve clearances are on the loose side, just in specs. Stock exhaust cans with 50mm perforated tube.

Engine/water is not too hot(if ibeat can be trusted), fan rarely spins. Only if I idle for 5-10min or so
 
im waiting for my race water pump and silicone radiator hoses. cant stand the heat too.
 
New

SMR up date: 2010 510 with power up and modified stock exhaust​

I did a service on the 510 yesterday 69 hours on the clock 2500 miles on the OD and the bikes runs better with age, The oil gets changed every 500 miles with a new filter and I clean the metal screens, all the engine bolts get checked for the correct torque,the bike gets hooked up to i beat and TPS​
and CO gets checked for proper settings,the valves have yet​
to need any adjustment,and they get checked every other oil change,when i change the oil it comes out fairly clean now,​
no metal in the screens or the filter.The engine stays dry no oil leaks.​
This is my first husky and i am very impressed with this motor, very strong I use this bike as a Daily Rider it does not get raced nor do i flog it at all​
The only problems I've have had has been the fuel pump, went out due to the check valve in the gas cap malfunctioned causing the pump to get hot, all that was a easy fix, I would recommend this bike for any one who would want a hi powered light weight putter for in town use or putten out in the country,I have never had this bike out on the inner state hi ways too many crazy,s around here, but for what i use it for it is well worth the maintenance for what i get in return,it boils down for me to every ten gallons of gas burned it gets a oil change and service,​
I get 51 to 53 MPG and the fun you can have on this bike is priceless.​
At this rate this motors life span could be quite long ( we will see.)​

Mine is race only and lives it's life 7500-10000rpm, has about 20 hrs and still powers on!
A street ridden motor should easily go on for a LONG time.
 
Im loving my SMR too :) have 8900km milage on it now and zero engine problems.
Still on Motorex Cross Power engine oil and K&N oil filter changed every 1000km.
Now my front rotor is bent due to unknown reason and now it makes my front braking jerky.
Will update more when i change to EBC front rotor, race water pump and silicone hoses, and full titanium exhausts
 
Next project:
I am going to put a TXC exhaust can with a te mid pipe
and try the single exhaust set up and see how it works out,
I got the can, waiting on the mid pipe will post up some shots.
should save about 6 pounds we will see.
 
Did mine a month or so back. its a great bolt up and go system!!

Nice set up did you notice any performance gains or losses
I see you have the FMF can
I bought a used txc can from a CH member
Thanks for posting up the shots
Is that a te mid pipe.
 
Yea TE mid pipe, super weight savings compared to the stockers i pulled off. seat of the pants says yea more power than stock, or its just beacuse its louder and revs up faster now.......
 
Single exhaust mod on 2010 510smr
Used a 2010 TE mid pipe and a 2010 TXC can Direct bolt up
I cut the can down 4 inches stock system weight 16 lb. new system 5 lb. shaved off 11 lb.
