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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

YTZ7 Battery on a 610?

I just replaced the new battery on my TE250 with a Turntech battery.

The original 610 battery is toast.

Can I use this smaller battery on my 610?

It might be OK as long as conditions are favorable. If the battery starts to deteriorate, temperatures go to extremes, or you have trouble getting the engine to start on the first revolutions, or you are on the trail and do a lot of restarts, all could mean you will end up push starting it. If you 610 is an FI bike, it needs even more power to run that.

You can likely make it work, but do not ask it to be reliable when you are out in the boonies.
 
Yeah, I figured that.

It's a carb motor.

I see Husky uses the same small battery on the 510 so I guess it should be okay.
 
I believe he has the 5Ah. Should work as the KTM 690's start with the 5Ah. A couple of guys use them in the 950 Adventurers and Ducati's as well.

The 2.5Ah won't be enough.

Are you using the 2.5A or 5.0A turntech?

I have a 5.0 Turntech in my 10 Te250 and put the ytx-7 from the TE in the 610.

It is about 1/2 the weight of the old stock 610 battery.
