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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Issues with older 610s?

I don't know what happened to my last reply, but to answer Coffee, I live on the Sunshine Coast (yes, that is the name, even in the Pacific Northwest), about 200 mi. north of Seattle. I happened to find an ATK dirt-track bike that I really really need, so I'll be trailering the bikes, not riding this time. I'll be back to do the PCH, however.

Re: waterproofing, I always wrap my spare clothes in a plastic tie-wrapped bag, even when not crossing creeks.
 
Your 610 looks tough enough to eat any creek, congrats! How do you find the trails with the reduced clearance? The reason I ask is that the ATK flat-tracker I'm buying has about the same airspace below the cases, and I plan to use it as a lightweight ADV tourer.

You might be thinking of another thread on CH or even another forum, no posts of yours were deleted in this thread as far as I can tell.

Maybe we could get together and meet when you come down. :thumbsup:
 
Hi Barkbuster, I just bought an 1993 husky te610 that doesn't have spark. I was wondering if you have a wiring diagram with resistance values for the flywheel and coil? The bike has the original "sem" ignition, fyi. Also, if you have a good service manual for it, I would gladly pay you for a copy. Thanks so much!
 
The older 410-610 motor is less evolved...no E-start, no reed valve between the cam chain, no counterbalancer, and I believe only one oil pump.

They are fast and light.

I think in 2000 they got the counterbalancer but no E-start.

I rode a 2000 Te410 that was really nice...kick only.
