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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Info on 2003 TE610E

Can anyone give me some info on a 2003 TE610E? I understand there is not alot of aftermarket support, but what about factory parts avilabilty? Can parts from later year 610s be used for the engine, driveline, etc? How are the suspenders on these bikes? Are there upgrades for the springs etc? Is it the 2003 that has the low air intake? What kind of HP do these bikes make? Are these a good choice for ADV style riding if you can get past the lack of oftermarket support of ad-on etc?

Sorry for all the questions, any info would be appreciated, thanks

Implies only limited number of this model year were imported, and are set up for Europe. Forks are regular style, not upside down. You might give a Husky dealer a phone call and see what they carry for parts. Uptite, Halls, Tasky, etc. Given the low number of these sold in the US, not likely to see parts listed online much. Probably sitting in back room shelves.
 
I have an '03 I bought new in '04. It's a great bike, with a few things better than the later 610..... headlight, seat, lower seat height. A little more street oriented than the newer bike, but very capable. I'm late for work, so I'll post more later. :cheers:
