Would you trade me? http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/trade-sms630-for-te630.30748/ Hypothetical question.
Just buy an extra set of dirt wheels? I take my SMS offroad about as much as you can expect with Pilot Powers and the 15/38 gearing...
Slap an FMF Powercore exhaust on your bike, p'u if it isn't already, and look at some Woodschick threads for tire ideas, but keep the 630 for sure. They are excellent bikes! On our TE 630's, the ecu's are part number 8D00 H1642. The # is on the bottom the the ecu's. They do say TE 630ie 11 USA on them also. I see there are two SMS USA ecu part #'s listed?
Heh, maybe I was a bit too vague in the original post. I have an SM, looking for a TE. Fully intending to keep "A" 630 around, just trying to see if any TE owners would wanna swap. So far from the survey results it's 100% no trade so looks like I'll have to find a used TE to buy.
Hi, I have an SM610ie which was fitted with TE wheels from new. Since then I bought a good used set of TE wheels with the intention of running road tires on them, but in reality I am running trials tyres off and on road. So the wheels, with full TE hydraulic brake set, are available for sale if you are interested in converting your SM (which has better lights than a TE). Cheers Richard
From what I read, the 630 SM swing arm is shorter than the TE plus there is 1" less suspension travel so I wonder if it's going to clear. Also in the 630 the gear boxes are different between the TE and SM, which was not the case in the 610. So unfortunately the swap isn't as easy going from SM to TE on the 630's.
+1, especially given the prices they were blowing them out at. Wish I could get the same deal on a new Multistrada.....
Don't forget that many TE owners change their gearing to a 15/45 combo which results in changed gearing similar to the stock SM630 factory gearing ratios.
All the TE's were gone by the time I got to the party Changing final drive is easy. I could take a TE back down to 15/42, I could even change my SM to 16/36 for highway, but that would change gears 1-4, which I don't want to change.
Yeah, the TE's have a taller 5th and 6th. When it comes time to rebuild, I'll probably grab a TE 5th and 6th to swap in to my SMS. It's been done, and would let me run lower geared sprockets without sacrificing highway cruising.
