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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

CA Smog removal, and slip on exhaust options and opinions

Calling in dead

Husqvarna
I just purchased a 2007 te 610, I love it! At 6'4" and 210 it's the perfect fit.

Couple of questions:

1) to remove the emissions or leave it be? A coworker warned me of CA park rangers ticketing the unruly canister removers, is this true?

2) what slip on exhaust options do I have and a part # if at all possible?

Thank you all for your time,

CID
 
I'm not aware of an aftermarket slip on with a cat, so you might be out of luck unless you get creative.
 
if I run the risk of a ticket and remove the canister and all hoses, install a "block off" kit of some kind; what adjustments would need to be made to enable the bike to breathe correctly (carb, air box adjustments)? I really just want to rid the bike of all the excess. If this is at all possible.

Ahh, you mean the evap canister...

That should just be a nipple cap on the head for manifold vacuum.
Then run the tank vent hose to the ground, maybe keep the original check valve in place

Nothing needs to be adjusted if you take that canister off.

* instead of step #7 you want to run that long breather hose (with the check valve) down the main front tube, on the same side that it exits the fuel tank, secured with zip ties.
