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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

SM610 revised maintenance schedule

Hi all,

I'm about to do the 10 000 km service on my 2006 SM 610. There is some confusion on exactly what to do.

In the manuals I've located it talks about replacing the conrod. Thought this was excessive and started researching and sure enough it was a misprint of some sort.

Came across a couple of posts that talked about a revised maintenance schedule that was released in the UK. Apparently the factory one was too stringent.

I cant locate a copy of this though - all I have found is this:

Coolant: change every 6200 miles
Engine oil: change every 3100 miles
Oil filter: change every other oil change (6200 miles)
Oil bag filters: clean/inspect every 6200 miles
Valve clearances: check every 3100 miles
Timing chain: check every 6200 miles
Air filter: change every 3100 miles
Brake fluid: change every 6200 miles
Chain: check/adjust every 3100 miles, change every 6200 miles
Rear sprocket: change every 6200 miles
Fork oil: change/rebuild every 6200 miles

Can anyone verify this info?

Edit: found it on Speedzilla:

I think those intervals may provide some guidance (on the more invasive issues) but I wouldn't put much stock in them overall. For example, even if I had a SM (as opposed to my TE), I wouldn't take my oil change interval out that far and certainly wouldn't wait to replace the oil filter every 6200 miles. Likewise w/ the air filter- it's easy so that should be pulled out and cleaned much more frequently than 3100 miles. Coolant also- too easy to change so why take it out to 6200. Valves- yeah some stay relatively stable but esp in the first 5K of the bike there's adjustments that often need to be made (had to do mine twice prior to hitting 4500...some don't have to touch 'em....point being it's diff. for each bike so let your ears and the bikes behavior be your guide.) Things like chains/sprockets are wildly variable- much depends on the rider/style/level of enthusiasm...inspect by sight, etc. and monitor. It's a thumper, so I'd err on the side of caution and give it a little preventative TLC to ensure longevity (i.e. I change my oil every 1-1.5K and the filter along w/ it, or every other putting that at 2-3K max.)
