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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE510 2004 help/advice etc new owner

Hi all,
Am new to all things husky and am looking for some advice. All going well, am going to look at/pick up a te510 next week (04) and was wondering if there is anything I should look out for? Also a bit of light googling has turned up the fact that if you fit a new(er) style seat and tank you can fit the 05-07 plastics and I prefer the look of them and it appears there are far more graphics etc available for them. Only downside if I don't know what years/type of bike I can look at getting the seat/tank from (other than a te510 as they are thin on the ground) Cr/wr/te etc etc what years etc seems very confusing compared to my old Yamaha WR and Suzuki RMZ with all the models and parts/plastics differences!
Thanks in advance for any help

I have a 04 with 05-07 plastics. Install is way simple with 05-07 fuel tank. Looks much slimmer. On my bike trimmed the side panels and used 2014 front number plate & fender to update the look.
 
The 04 had the bad valves but if its been used they are prob changed out already. Also had the Mikuni carby iirc, not great but you can get it going ok.

I liked the thin body bikes better! The next gen 06 style I pull the shrouds out of the tabs constantly and bruise my knees.
 
Hi, just a small thread update, went to look at the bike and got her:) , turns out it was registered December 04 here (uk) and is actually an 05 model so new(er) style plastics and keihin carb and checked the frame number so really happy. Have only ridden it very briefly but coming from a rmz450 I can't belive how smooth it feels, gearbox is quite suprising as well as it is very likeen a motocross box except with a low first gear. It's now in the shed getting stripped to the frame and then rebuild with everything checked/greased and new red/white plastics/graphics etc etc etc :thumbsup:
Thanks for taking the time to reply guys
