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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Street tires for the 610

I’m doing 90% street 10% dirt at best (more like 96/4%....)
Original back tire lasted about 2800 miles, front is still good

What are you using on the 610sm?
Likes?
Dislikes?

I just got a Shinko 705 for the rear, $79. Works great on the street, should wear well, and I'm confident it can handle anything I throw at it in the dirt...provided it's somewhat dry. Eric got a front and rear for his LC4 and he's digging them. They're about 1/2 what an Avon Distanzia costs and they work just as well :thumbsup:

That’s cheap, where would you position them (or the Distanzia for that matter….) compared to the OEM Dunlop sportmax?

:excuseme:
 
I know this is for 610's only.:D

But I have to say I love my K270 Dual Sport

It's stable and predictable on the street. And off road S/T stuff it holds up well.

Only if it gets really slimy do you find yourself wishing for a more aggressive type knobby.

Waitaminnit...96%/4%...?

Get some sticky Pirelli Diablos and then just suck it up on the dirt!
That's what I'd do. Shoot, it's what I've done on the SV. Just ride it!


If you want a tire that will last but that won't stick as well, get something like a Bridgestone BT014 or a Metzeler Roadtec Z6. The Contiforce SM tires stick really well and probably last longer than the Diablos and are a decent price for a sticky street tire. I'll probably get those when I tear up the Diablos.

I have a Michelin Anakee rear that has been off and on my KLR for a couple of years and the last time I took it off it had 10800 miles on it and I'm pretty sure there is another thousand left.
Very similar in appearance to the 705 Shinko that WC has.
Shinko has a 700 that looks a little chunkier than the 705 and might be another choice for the TE610.

I'm not sure how long their going to last but I can tell you that they have endless stick and you can steer with laser-like precision, not only that but they have an outstanding ride for a performance tire.:thumbsup:

Yeah, Eric really likes them. We'll both be sportin' them next time we need sticky street rubber.

Raj did you stay with the 150/60 or gone up to the 160/60?

:excuseme:

I stayed with the 150, anything larger and the tire gets to close to the chain. It's pretty hard to get the 150 to break loose so the larger ones may actually make it more difficult to ride hard. You want a nice balance of traction and predictable slide.
 
How about the Pirelli Scorpion Sync? Stock tire on the Ducati Multistrada. Great handling and a more aggressive tread pattern for occasional off roading.

Yeah, they remind me of the Distanzias. I know the Pirelli Scorpion AT in the 21/18 work great on street and on non-muddy dirt. The Syncs would probably work really well. And they should, for a little over $300 a set :eek:

For that price shouldn’t I just pick the Contiforce SM for $227 or the Distanzia for $280+/- ?

:excuseme:
 
All right, thanks for the responds
I’ve got the Contiforce SM

Any particular PSI I should run front and rear?
(the sticker says 29F-32R….:excuseme:)

For street use go with the recommended tire pressure. For track, drop a couple of lbs. You are going to love those tires.:thumbsup:
 
I haven't run the Conti SMs on a Husky, but my KTM 625 SHREDDED them. I got around 1200 miles to wearbars out of the rear, vs double that out of the BT016 which stuck better too.
 
Help fast, please (told them I’ll get them the wheel in the morning…)

:confused::confused::confused:
What the hell?
back wheel;
The book says to take the axel out, undo the wheel spacers and the wheel comes off……
Well it doesn’t , it hit’s the brakes

Dose the brakes need to come off in order to extract the wheel????
What’s the trick?

Anything I need to know about the front one as well?

:excuseme:
