    Hi,
    Just picked up brand new [IMG] 07 TE610. Apparently somebody in Italy found a bunch of crates and send them to Holland, since all Husky dealers here suddenly offered a good deal on these.
    I found lots of info on this great forum already[IMG], but I am still left with some issues. I thought that European bikes had EFI on the 07 model, but this bike actually has a carb. The user manual I received was for the EFI model, so it does not answer the question I have: the black knob on the carb is probably the choke, but what is the red knob for? The dealer told me to pull both at a cold start, but that doesn't make much sense to me.

    Anyone? A link to the proper user manual would be great as well.

    The red knob is a hot start, only use it when hot, not cold.

    Welcome to CafeHusky, Grandia! [IMG]

    I bought a new `07 SM610 in 2008 and I love it! It's my favorite bike in the garage [IMG]

    Thanks guys.
    I bought the Husky cause I need it to be my only bike in the (non existing) garage. Just sold my DRZ and about to sell my Aprilia Shiver. Once I've done that, I'll get some SM-wheels as well.
