I figure I'd throw this on here because I NEVER saw a Husky, let alone a motorcycle, with a winch on it before!! It's FRAKING COOL I was in Moab for the Rawhyde Adventure Challenge this past week and rapped it up with the WARN Winch guys, very cool cats BTW! We talked about all the cool stuff they've done to their Husky....which includes putting a winch on the back rack! The bike belongs to one of the guys and he says, "It's the perfect desert bike but I love it for just about everything!" He was telling me they have used that winch at the most random of times, mostly not from their own mishaps but from mishaps from others they run across!
You would think so........but the winch is 8lbs It's also not anchored there.....it's removable!! If I didn't see the demo's they did I would think like you.
That Warn winch is awesome! I like the mini Warn tow straps they're using for the tank bag, too There have been many times when I could have used a winch to haul my machine back up onto a trail. If anyone's ever ridden Idaho sidehill they'll know what I'm talking about
2000 Husqvarna 610SMS Just picked it up on Saturday, 7000 original miles and rides great, been riding every change I can get!
Nice bike! How do you like the TE with the Motard setup? Can you list your mods? I am deciding on a TE purchase very soon. Thanks -Sray
I love the motard set up, so much so the knobblies haven't been back on it.

Here is my 2008 TE610....Just picked it up Tuesday for $1,500....It was an impulse purchase. Haven't really ridden it much yet and I'm waiting for Motoxotica to send me a new clutch lever and cable. The rear tire is basically a slick, so I need to decide on what new tire before I do any real riding....I'm hoping I'll like it. I'm 42 and have always ridden XL/XR/CRF's.
Hello all. Im told this is a 2000 610 but would like your opinion. electric start with no kickstart. Left hand chain drive. it also has an edelbrock carb that Im told is a pumper? anyone cast any light on it? Also the wiring is in a shocking state, anyone out there tell me how to rewire it just to get the engine running? The bike is stolen a recovered, I have all the relevent paper work from VOSA and the police but none of them could tell me much more about the bike.
Those are a lot of questions for a bike picture thread, and you post could easily be missed.. maybe start up a new thread too?
I'm not a fan of the acerbis front treatment over the OEM but the camo is about as cool as it gets... Good looking bike
