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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna Te610e Oil

Hello,
I just bought husqvarna te610e 1999 supermoto (model with electric starter), I had to rebuild it a bit but the rebuild is almost complete, and that made me wondering, what oil is the best for this engine. Manual says that its 5w40 but various forums is talking about 10w60, so I am pretty confused. Maybe someone can help me out?
 
Huskies usually recommend 10w60. However I find it is more dependent where you live. I live in a warm to hot summer climate with a cool (can be cold) winter but not too extreme. All the chaps around here use 10/40 fully synthetic.
I am happy with this, however in your case and unsure go with the 10w 60. Maybe chat with a good local bike shop and or some experienced riders and seek out their recommendations for your area.

Good luck.
 
I have a 2000 SMS and use 10w60 exclusively. Bike has 47000 kms, no issues concerning the oil. Temperatures around here go from -1°C in the winter up to about 36°C during the summer. Some member here mentioned that 10w40 is a bit too low for these engines, but I don't recall where I read it
