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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 2006 TC510 that I am working on. I have the top end apart and want to replace the piston/rings.

What years have compatible pistons? Can I use a TE piston? There are several part numbers listed for the years 06-09 510 depending on TC/TE/SMR. I want to know if these are interchangeable. There is a decent price difference between several of these configurations (roughly $218 to $380 based on internet prices) with the TC510 piston being the most expensive (and the same part number throughout) and the SMR/TE piston having a range of prices/part numbers.

I have no idea about the availability of any of the pistons yet, but it'd be nice to know which of them I could use. Thanks for the help!

For reference:
06-09 TC 510 piston (8000A5484)
06-07 TE/SMR 510 piston (8000A5480)
08-09 TC/TCX 510 piston (8000A5484, same as 06-07)
08-09 TE/SMR 510 piston (8000A9920 and 8000A9928)
 
The difference is that yours has two rings and the te/smr piston runs 3 rings stock but I believe they are interchangeable. I'd look for the Wossner piston kit.. they are supposed to be really good for these bikes
 
Thanks guys. How does the Wossner compare in quality to the stock piston? Seems like the Wossner might be the answer if the quality is comparable.
 
They're Forged vs cast OEM i think.. but I'd wait for one of the OG's to chime in and confirm my edumacated guess lol
