I'm thinking about picking up a 2006 510 Smr. Its all stock and has 4100 miles. Judging by the online research I've done, maintenance seems like its critical for these bikes. It also seems like its really hard to find aftermarket parts. I have read that the TC and TE bikes are interchangeable with the SMR. I'd like to find a good exhaust system. Also, is there any common issues or sounds I need to look for? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Check valve adjustment if its hard starting. Bottom end bearings are kinda small. Pay attention to those as well as the top end. Frequent oil changes with good oil. I had an 07 with a Wiseco high compr piston, FBF 2 stage ignition module, Surflex slipper clutch, JD jet kit, FBF triple clamps, etc.
It was a ripper!

No just regular service and pay attention to the valves. Good oil and frequent changes is def a good thing too.

Oh I was talking about the bottom end bearings. Most people recommend George at up tite since he uses these German I believe bearings made by FAG for the crank cases. But as far as the con rod bearing I heard about people using a kawi KX250 big end bearing since it has more rollers.
