I already have a 570 SMR rear damper with adjustable damping on my bike that the PO fitted, I was wondering about swapping the front forks to 570 SMR forks as well if they come up cheaply on eBay at some point. I have found these tubes on eBay, however, they say that they are for the 610te as well as the 570SMR: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HUSQVARNA...249632?hash=item2edca448a0:g:Sa4AAOSw2s1UwPES I have researched on here and apparently the 610te forks have longer travel and are thinner as a result of needing a thinner and longer spring. So how could the 610te forks and 570SMR forks be the same? On the diagrams in the parts PDF the fork tubes share the same part number between the 610te and SM though. The part number for one side is 8A00 94601 Also I am confused over the calliper mounting bolt holes. The holes on my 610 SM forks have 10mm holes but the TE brake takes 8mm bolts. So do they just drill and tap the required bolt hole size at the factory? I am wondering if that is the only difference but that is contrary to what I have read on here. At the moment I am running a TE brake but with the 8mm bolts through the 10mm holes which obviously gives 2mm play which isn't ideal.
The TE and SM do use the same basic forks year to year. The SM has a travel limiter that make them 1"-2" shorter. I would ask the seller what size the caliper bolt holes are.
Good info, thank you. Can you tell me which part the travel limiter is from the pic? I just wanna know if it is easily swappable:
The travel limiter is inside of numbers 12 and 13 on the diagram. It's simply a spacer that decreases the "top out" length of the fork. Relatively easily swappable, but not something one wants to do on a regular basis as the forks have to be completely disassembled to do it.
