I have a 610sm, 2006 in a roadrace chassis. I can get kawasaki full synthetic in 10w40 for a great price -- not the viscosity recommended by Husky, but would this be a big deal, or should I get the proper 10w60?
I'd at least try to run a 10W50. There are a couple of Husky dealers that stock and ship 10W60. Toy Tech in Grantville, PA is one.
Depends on your enviroment.. the varying degrees of climates yhe Huskys are shipoed yo are the real reason they ship with and recomend 10w60. 10w 40 will be fine in the proper climate..
My Husky owners manual and service manual both recommend 10W50. Where you guys finding a 10W60 Husky requirement? _
Probably best to check out my blog, which covers the supermono as well as my ex650 roadracer. Please also vote on your thoughts as to who will win the 2012 motogp championship (upper right hand corner). http://www.mbducati.blogspot.com/
Its from an RS125 honda. Had the alu rear subframe as a guide, and morphed it into something that would work with the mito.
Nice bike James. I think It's better for you to follow the husqvarna specification. Especially if your using a thumper on a street bike! For an optimal lubrification it's very important to have the correct viscosity at the different temperatures.
Yep -- based on the feedback here, I'll go for some proper 10w60. The local shop that sponsors me doesn't stock it, so I've been able to purchase some agip full synth online. I also plan to due a "superbike" build of the engine -- crank, rod, porting, etc. Perhaps other engines than the 610 might be a better basis for a roadracer, but I got the engine cheap, and it fit into the mito chassis with NO drama. A 6 speed with electric start also makes life in the pits so much easier.
