Hi, i'm thinking in the perfect dual-sport bike, and my love is with husky 610. I have some questions maybe you can help me, I think this is the perfect place So, this are my questions: How much kilometers can be done with a full stock tank ?, I have read that in near future will be a new bigger tank from aqualine, I hope this will be true. Is EFI new model better than old well know carburated 610 ? Can EFI "drink" any kind of fuel from remote places, with low octan or very bad quality, will be any problem with EFI systems ? ¿ What about airbox, I like cross water a lot... and I see the airbox in a very low position... It's better to buy a good offert 2008 model, or wait to the new upgrade 2009/2010 610 with 50" fork and other upgrades ? I cam from a KTM 2004 950 Adv with a lot upgrades, really a great bike but a littel heavy Thanks for this great forum.
Antonio, Primero, bienvenidos a este sitio. De que parte de Espana eres? Tengo muchos recuerdos encarinados de tu pais y la gente espanola. Tambien tengo la grande KTM 950 y tambien acabo de comprar un 610. El rango de mi 610 (con carburador) es a eso de 225km. No cabe duda que el modelo con inyeccion te rinde un rango mejor. Pero la ventaja para mi con carburador es una aceleracion mas suave y de mas control a las velocidades bajas. Donde vivo eso es esencial. Faltan unas modificaciones para suavizar un poco la inyeccion. Si esta cruzando Marruecos, quizas no va a ser muy importante para ti. Si vas a echar gas de poca calidad, deberias instalar un filtro. Hay que tomar en cuenta la presion de la inyeccion pero seguro que alguien lo ha encontrado (un filtro adecuado). Si, el filtro de aire fue ubicado muy bajo en el diseno. Me imagino que alguien ha construdio una caja de aluminio que minimiza la oportunidad de entrar agua pero no la he visto por aca ni por www.advrider.com en la seccion de "Thumpers". La buena noticia es que al norte de ti, donde se comen sapos, hay una compania especializada en ese tipo de fabricacion. Es www.mecasystems.fr Si fuera yo, yo compraria un modelo de carburador a causa de la aceleracion mas suave y el mejor control de ella a la poca velocidad. Eso es lo que hice yo a pesar de tener toda la oportuniad de comprar un modelo con inyeccion. Ya tengo mi experiencia con inyeccion y no me gusto por esos fallos....pues, fallos en mi opinion. Otra vez, bienvenidos y que te diviertas en la seleccion y preparacion de tu nueva moto dando igual el modelo que escojas. Ciao, NC
Tambien quiero decir binevenido a Cafe Husky. Tengo un '08 TE610, y hasta 6 mesas de viajes aqui en California y en Baja, Mexico puedo decir que le moto es un fantastico machina. La systema EFI es fuerte, mi experiencia es que la qualidad de gasolina no es importante. Hay un filtro. No meido con FI en este moto, hasta dos anos no hay reportes de problemas. La verdad es que se functiona perfectamente. Con respecto al pregunta comprar un '08 barrato, o comprar un '09/10--mi opinion es comprar un '08. La differencia do los 45 vs. 50mm suspenion es algo, pero la verdad es que suspension es personal, y los dos necessitan ayuda con nueva valvulas,etc. Los Huskys son duro en fronte. Otra cosa-un 'albierto' 610 es fuerte and rapido. Compra uno y posta picturas!
Thanks all for the info. I'm from Málaga, south Spain. A great place, I think one of the best in the world . Near Morocco, Argelia, Tunez... whole Africa! And in spain we have a lot of tracks and Portugal is fabulous. About 610, all people tell me EFi is the future and is very reliable but in south marocco a carburator that you can clean and repair may have no price... although if efi never fail... who know NothingClever, 225km is good fuel range, with IMS fuel tank it will be over 350km I think, is this true ? In my ktm the EFi version (990) isn't better than carcurator (950) and don't have better fuel range. What about fuel with low octane ? What do you think about this bike: http://motos.coches.net/ocasion/husqvarna/te/610-2000-en-almeria-3909837.htm I think is a good price if bike is ok. Un saludo.
Hola.... 610 muey bueno...si 610...no caca 610 muey bien... Aside from being a proud TE610 owner, I'm also an aspiring Flamenco guitarist and I worship the god of Paco DeLucia, the greatest guitarist on the planet. Thought maybe our Spanish members could relate. Sorry for hijacking the topic but guitar is another passion of mine. Jeroldo610
Welcome to Cafe Husky Yes you indeed posted in the 610 forum and that is the perfect place on Cafe Husky. You are welcome, thank you for joining
If i could live anywhere on earth, it would be Malaga, Spain. Rode a Husky there in jan '07. You are a lucky hombre! Dont worry about the EFI! Low octane fuel will be fine. Ive used it in baja. South Morrocco has good Total fuel stations-even Tan Tan has one.
I'd like Ceuta or Melilla myself. But my wife has plans for Santiago, Chile or just outside Medellin for after retirement. [/hijack]
Reading all info from here and other forums I think the best option today is EFi version. Now in these next few months in Spain the law prohibits motorbike off-road to prevent 'fire' in forest so i will wait until september/october to buy my new bike. Mike in morocco there is a lot Total fuel stations in south but if you travel near Argelia in the desert there is trips with more than 400km without fuel or maybe some fuel in a very littel village but not from a total fuel station, it will be from the station of a moroccan in his home and of very dubious quality I will be happy if someone travel near málaga and we can drink some beers jerbear610 I don't know to play guitar but I like flamenco a lot, obviously here we have the better flamenco in the world and a lot of artist that aren't know outside spain. In some places in the street while you walk you can listen flamenco from young people or in their house only for enjoy. Unfortunately, over time and with globalization, we are losing some of this art.
The air box opening is low but the actual carb. inlet inside the air box is at the top so the filter element might get wet but the bike wont drown any easier than any other bike.
