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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 610 in Baja

Mike, did you ride w/the factory settings on your suspension? If you made adjustments what settings did you come up with.

+1 on the 610 praises, I'd like to add the fact that these bikes can take a beating and keep going as well. :thumbsup:

For the forks i went counterclockwise all the way out. Then back in 6 clicks.

For me anything less it blew thru the stroke, and it 'packed' on downhill stutter/braking bumps. Anything more was just harsher.

Its still not great, but its ridable.

Still working on the rear, but i have slowed the rear rebound and decreased the compression. Its getting close, but not there yet. I will do a full post when i get it as close as i can.

I weigh 200-205 plus gear.

I guess you had to lower the pipe because of the saddle tanks?

Exactly. The saddle tanks carry the bulk of the fuel way down low, and this greatly enhances the handling of the machine. Very low center of gravity. Curiously--i ran the stock suspension on this beast, and it worked well. Just goes to show how -oversprung- the Huskys are. They must think we are all really fat in the US. I mean--im fat, but not that fat. Not yet anyway. :popcorn:
 
Now I'm getting second thoughts about selling my 06 TE 610. I've been just too busy riding my TE 450. I have two issues with my 610 that the 2x6 plank they refer to as a seat and the lack of a kickstarter. Any suggestions? Oh and by the way I ran out of gas when I first got the bike on a dual sport trip. Was at 135 miles. Got the 5 gal. tank to fix that.

Seat? Get it rebuilt by Renazco. Ask for a 40/60 seat with suede on top.
Kickstarter? I carry motorcycle jumper cables.
