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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE610 headlight upgrade

The headlight sucks even with high beam on...what can I upgrade to for better lighting. I'm looking to spend no more than 200$.
 
I did the ADVmonster upgrade but the general look and function of the light is the same
 
Cyclops h4 led (about 75 bucks), I changed to a Baja designs headlight housing because my 06 did not take an h4 and it's a better assembly (about 100 bucks). Much, much better light, you can ride with low beam and actually see where you are going.

Will the stock headlight assembly take a LED "bulb" or would I need to do some mods?
 
No the stock harness gives AC power. The stock halogen bulb uses either AC or DC. You will need to run a DC power lead from the battery through a relay that is switched to the lead for the smaller city bulb within the stock light housing
 
Mine would not, others said the 2006 took an h4, however mine looked more like an appliance bulb and the housing where the socket went in was nothing like an h4. So I went with the Baja designs housing that would.

Yeah, just pulled my headlight apart and did some research, its a ba20d adapter with a 35w/35 halgoen bulb.

I read a thread on thumper talk ( http://www.thumpertalk.com/topic/480492-te610-extra-lighting/page-2 )and someone used a 9007 halogen bulb with some modifications, but it ran hot and melted the assembly.

Then I found this 4200 lumen 9007 LED from cyclops ( http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/4200-lumen-9007-LED-headlight-bulb_p_159.html ) and thought since the LED runs cooler, this would work if i did the same mods as the other tread.


what do you guys say?
 
The stock housing is pretty junky honestly, not sure how much it will take. If it doesn't work and doesn't harm your led if it lets you down you could always upgrade the housing then.
 
The Cyclops led used the factory wiring, comes with the correct end (for h4 bulb), just put the wires in the correct slot according to the instructions and plug it in. No new wiring needed. I believe ktm runs a.c. on most of their bikes. Could be wrong, I don't drink the Orange koolaid

I know this is an old thread, but are you sure the Stock 610 Harness is AC power? I put a voltmeter on it and I swear I thought I was reading about 12 DC volts at the front.
