• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 all, I'm the proud new owner of what may well be the worst maintained/most neglected TE610 in the UK.
It's a 2001 registered left kicker and is possibly too far gone to make it worthwhile but I'll find out more as I get it stripped.
From what I know the kickstart shaft has snapped, the wiring is a total rats nest, the rear shock is not a shock but just a spring and 3rd gear is just another neutral.
It does have some good points such as a Keihin FCR 41 and a set of Husky USD forks and a bunch of spares.

So a few spares needed and lots of stupid questions to be asked - be prepared.

doesnt look too terrible, we restore much worse looking in the left kicker forum. i know looks can be deceiving however. i bet it was a sweet machine when it was in better nick, hope you can restore it. keep us posted with lots of pics if you go that route.
 
I got the top end and clutch off now and they're not the best but could be a lot worse.
Strangely I thought there was a lot of play between the clutch basket to gearbox input shaft, when I took the basket off the center bush was loose and could be pushed out by hand, I don't think this is normal.

As usual the cost and availability of spares will be the deciding factor, I don't mind doing the work as it'll keep me out of trouble over the winter.

Hopefully I'll get the gearbox in bits tonight and see where 3rd gear has gone!

Well 3rd gear is still there, however a missing spacer on the mainshaft is allowing the one of the gears to float on the shaft and become un-selectable.
Spacer should be between the top 2 gears. The part number is 1612-48101 are there any UK suppliers of parts like these?
 
I had the same lol mine was a right mess! Neutral return spring gone so the gear lever was floppy. Kick start paw snapped off the engine cover and the shaft bent! Brake fluid like water lol carb needed a rebuild and the plastics were a mess / most bolts missing. Got it all back together now image.jpg
