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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

De-catting a std 09 610

Thank you for the pics and white up! I am guessing that is a 610 can? Looking in to my 630 pipes there are spark arrestor screens that I don't see in you pics. Maybe the internals are different for different regions?
 
^^It looks exactly like my 08 610SM

Hey Blazes, I saw a video of someone who did the same thing to his can on SMJ only he took it a step further and cut about seven inches from the length of it
On his video you can hear a horrendous amount of back fires from the engine
Does your de-cut pipe do the same?

That was mine :thumbsup:

Quite a neat job and am very happy with the results. One of those "why didn't I do this a long time ago?" modifications.

The bike is so smooth now! And feels like it has a lot more grunt in the midrange. Plus the exhaust actually sounds sightly quieter maybe, especially at speed? But with a really nice deep note.

Thanks again M

PS whats the word on using leaded fuel in an emergency now that the cat's out? I try and stick religiously to 95 unleaded which is the highest octane we get here, but am wandering what the options are if all you can get is leaded (and that's usually 93).

I use a mix of leaded fuel nearly all the time. It was recommended for two reasons, one the octane and the other the lead to soften the hit of the valves. I mix 114L Sunoco (one gallon) to 4 gal. of the highest octane leaded unleaded I can find (usually 91 or 93). This isn't necessary if you're riding at 8000 feet or if the bike's compression is more like 10:1 rather than 13:1.

Rode today with a friend on his 09.610 te i did this week --actually he has not done the o2 kit yet and only the pipe that i catted for him --feels great and also runs quiter than my arrows. When i take the other 610te out of the crate i have later this year i will not waste my bucks on the Arrow pipe ---i rather like the sound of the decatted 610 stock pipe and the smooth power it puts out ---

Agree. The OE Husky end can/s and headers are not at all bad. The product is good, albeit very restricted due to emissions regs, but this is only in the cans, not the header. I've done the same with my 510, saved a packet and learnt some about the bike along the way. If you want titanium and ultimate weight savings cool but I'd sooner mod the gear I bought and dump some loose change or get some lightweight tools. Pay your money, take your choice

Does his backfires really bad?
I just started to notice that when pushed, mine (complete stock
rolleyes.gif
still...) does backfire a little too, though it is a non issue (sound wise) with the stock muffler
Is it because the ECU was not trip to the race map, or is that just how they are?
Positivley de-cutting instead of buying a pipe, just wants to get a feel for the backfire thing...

Does not back fire at all --Runs great and sounds great --will see when we do the O2 kit later --

Thought I'd throw this link in. You seem to have much lower octane rated fuels? My SMR's handbook refers to using 98 RON and 'if knocking or pinking occurrs try a different brand or higher octane rating': page 121. So I run the 'super' rated UK unleaded, it's dearer but follows Husky's advice. Others may find attached explanation useful or of interest

I think the back-firing on decel is a lean condition, so yes, it's likely because you're not running the rich ECU race settings. I put an Athena kit on my 08 TE 250 and it was back-firing like a dry popcorn fart until we hooked up the Athena ECU that richens it to around 14.3 to 1. It could stand to be even a little richer but that's it for the Athena ECU...it's in there hard.

I use 100 octane gasoline on my bike and it pops only if im in for a little noise and keep the throttle a lliiiitttllleeee bit open during deccelaration.Otherwise its quiet and relaxed!(Stock exhaust-No PU kit)

This reply is a bit ambiguous. Can you please clarify.

Can you use leaded fuel or not? Have you used leaded fuel before?

Thanks
Alan
 
Can anyone point me in the direction of where to get the at inner core for the exhaust? I've been to some exhaust shops in town and no one has them. I can't seem to find them online either.
 
Yeah, where to get the inner perf core?
What about the sparky screen and baffle in the 630? I would love to de-cat and open it all the way up but save the sparky. Gotta have that here for the forest. Well, anywhere offroad for that matter.
