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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Pics of your 610!

That would be 30mm (1.2") wider than stock as well as 46mm (nearly 2") taller off the rim (or 92mm taller from ground to top of tire). It should have a serious effect on speedo accuracy.

I don't think the rear wheel height would have any bearing on the speedo. The magnet is on the front (rotor) wheel.
 
View attachment 11586 Here is my 2008 TE610....Just picked it up Tuesday for $1,500....It was an impulse purchase. Haven't really ridden it much yet and I'm waiting for Motoxotica to send me a new clutch lever and cable. The rear tire is basically a slick, so I need to decide on what new tire before I do any real riding....I'm hoping I'll like it. I'm 42 and have always ridden XL/XR/CRF's.

I sure envy you- great find! Early season I was seriously hunting for a reasonably priced 610- couldn't find one. I didn't want to splurge on a new bike but did as I found a 630 for 6K OTD. Great bike, but would have preferred to have less out of pocket. No regrets, mind you, but gotta say you got a once in a blue moon steal there...you can't get a decent condition '08 DRZ for 1500.

I sure did. I put $300 in it for a new tire, clutch cable and lever, battery, and all new fluids/filters. Man, that oil is expensive**************************************** I've ridden it around a bit, but Im just more of a light woods bike kind of guy. I'm going to sell it. It's practically brand new so I think I can make some money and still give someone a good deal. I'm thinking $3,500.
 
That is one wicked lookin' 610. :thumbsup: Looks like something right out of a "Mad Max" flick or better yet "Barbwire". I could just imagine
riding through the wasteland on that Badboy with sweet Pamela on the back. :naughty::D

Nice looking set-up! Nice and simple.
Have you used the yellow Wolfman bags yet? If so, how do you like them? They're dry bags, right?
 
I miss my old 2000 SM610S

It had an Uptite exhaust, and the ignition module from some competition model, can't remember which one. Loved the way that bike handled, even if LC4s would walk away from it on a straight.

Looks like you had it working good. What track was that shot at?
 
The kart track at the I-55 Speedway, just South of Saint Louis. We had about 8 supermoto events there in 2002 and 2003. Those pictures were shot in the spring of 2003. The kart club decided after that year that they wanted to reserve all weekends for their own member activities instead of making it available to rent. :(
