I'm fairly new to the Husky world so I'm not sure what era this 610 would be. The seller is claiming it's a 2003 which I know is not the case (left side kick, no e-start). The vin he gave me is zcgtc6108yv080088 but he says the title says it's a 2003. I know the 10th digit is supposed to be the year, but it looks like he may have missed a digit and I'm guessing the year is actually a 1998. Again, I'm new to the Husky world so any help would be appreciated.
The 10th digit is a y, and I think that denotes the year 2000. Edit: I did a little bit of Googling and your bike looks much more like a 2000 than it does a `98. WoodsChick
ZCGTC610YV0xxxxx Like Woodschick said, this is the format for a 2000 TC610, at least if you can believe the Husky Club site. http://www.huskyclub.com/model.htm
A 1998 would have conventional 50mm forks and that bike definitely has 45mm usd like the 2000s had. A 2000 would have the 2 piece ignition ( stator, and coil/cdi combined ) a 1999 and earlier would have 3 piece ignition where the stator, coil, and cdi are all seperate. Hope this helps.
Cool, thanks guys. This is the exact info I was looking for. So rather than a 2003 TE 610 like the seller is claiming, it's a 2000 TC 610
Or, it is a mongrel like my bike. My 1991 had USD forks from the factory. It now has a 1998 motor and it's getting a much later (2000 or so) magneto and coil. At some point, the bike just is what it is and if it works and you like it, great. If it is what you want at the price you can pay, the year is less important than whether it's been maintained or not. Just saying.
