    I have a 2007 SM 610 and a 2000 610 TE for dirt duty.

    I race CMRA and have been wanting to get my tard on the track and was going to build my SM610 into doing race duty as well as street.

    I have been trying to sell my 610 TE because it's too big for the trail riding I do. I haven't had any luck though...

    I know a lot of it has to do with gearing and surface, but my TE feels way faster than the SM, and I have been thinking maybe convert my TE to SM and race it.

    The TE is a left kicker, no battery, and chain is on the right.

    Can I pull the wheels and brakes off my SM for use on the TE? Can I just run the rear wheel backwards to put the chain on the right?

    Am I wrong in thinking my left kicker makes more power than the SM?

    Crazy silly thoughts.... the guys in first and second overall are both on Aprilias, 550 and a 450.

    The 2007 SM is going to be Injection, so first questions would be have you done the Power up modifications ?
    Anti Smog Removal, Resistor, JD Tuner.
    If not, it runs like crap and will be noticeably different. Also I had issues with my fuel pump and caused the bike to be down on power.
    Get a Dyno to get a base reading and work from there.

    I don't think you could swap the wheels round like that. I believe there will be spacing issues for the sprockets / brakes.
    If you have a couple of crates, why not take the wheels off and measure them up.

    My bike must be an 06, its Carbed.

    2000 has unknown mods. What i can tell is the following:
    Ducati Ignition
    Aluminum Intake Piece
    Full D&D exhaust, that sounds horrible

    2006 has:
    Full LeoVince
    K&N cone filter intake mod
    Rejetted

    The 2007 injection was the euro "test dummy" :D, to the US the injections came a year later in 2008

    That's right, FI in '08.
    If you have a red bike than it's an '07. '06 was blue/yellow.

    Well, I started swapping the rear stuff today.

    The rear axle is a smaller diameter on the TE versus the SM. That will be an easy fix.

    The rear brake and sprocket line up perfectly.

    I was gonna take it for a spin but the chains are drastically different length because the TE has a huge rear sprocket.

    You may be able to just put the 2000 spacers in the 2006 rear wheel and run the 2000 axle in the 2006 wheel.

    Be careful with the sprocket spacing...the 2006 has a slightly outbound sprocket mount... I think the 2000 610 uses the 2 stoke wheels...they were narrower on the sprocket mount.

    Not surprised the 2000 is faster...Husky used to race a 630 based on the old motor in about 2004-6

    My 2006 SM610 was available in Red/White or Charcoal, in the US anyway. I got the Red/White version.

    Hey Coffee. Eric here. I just bought that 610 sm conversion from Brandt. I may have to take it to Cresson and race it. I need to get working on getting it legal for the CMRA. Maybe I will see you on the grid.

    Ahhh, you are the one that bought his TE?

    I hope to get one of them on the grid for next year.
