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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi there, I just teared down my te610e (1999) and I found out that my piston has touched my valves so I have to replace the piston. Anyway I can't really find the specific one for my model year (should be 99-05) I have seen piston kits avalable for newer model 610's (2006-) I know that engine is almost the identical, but is the piston same? Bore fits but I am not sure about pin diameter and other parameters, is there any changes?
 
Motosport.com has an OEM piston kit for 2000 te610e. Not sure if that is an exact match with your bike and it's pretty damn expensive.

I got burned pretty hard on an aftermarket Wossner piston for my 2006 sm610 (different number of compression rings) hopefully you won't run into any trouble, but I just wanted to warn you.
 
Husqvarna sells new OEM at about 300 euros. It's the 2005 up piston, with thinner rings and flat head. The 98-04 piston is discontinued and has been officially replaced by the 05. I'd recommend that, better performance (11:1 CR) and recent production. The old one was made to last, very thick rings and a very beefy oil ring and 9,5:1 CR.
