Hey guys, still looking around for a bike. there are two near me. an 07 & an 08 TE 610. I know the specs. FI vs carb being the big difference. Anything else I should know about the two bikes that would sway you to get one over the other. they are within a few hundred of each other and mileage & condition are similar. Hoping to tap into your vast knowledge. thanks again for all your help. Hope to join the ranks of Husky owners some day soon.
The FI is nice but there are more big tank options for the 07. The 07 also came with compression adjustment for the forks. I have one of each and I like the 07 more. My butt dyno tells me it is faster too!
As far as I know the 08 gained the EFI, lost the bottom compression edjusters, got fat bars and the front forks changed color from gold to black To add the comp edjusters would take $100 if you DIY There's one dedicated large tank for the EFI 610 or you can get the external EFI pump from Uptite and fit any tank you want
Based on your description, with mileage and condition being similar, I'd spend an extra few hundred on the 08. A one year newer model equipped with EFI is well worth the extra money. Resale value with the 08 will be better as well.
