Did a ride up in the Sierra last month...still haven't gotten to a ride report yet but I'm working on it... Yeah, I know...bald street tire in the dirt...it was fun, though! And from a ride/camp last weekend- Eric's totally digging his 610...
Hey woodschick, what do you do for protection your saddlebags from your exhaust? Are those MT60'on the front, used to seeing you with knobbies on the 610.
I took a piece of 1/4" commercial grade rubber (used for slip joints) and cut 2 little squares out of it. Glued those together, then super-glued them to the carbon fiber pipe bracket right where the rubber nub on the backside of the side numberplate hits it. It keeps it just far enough away from the pipe to keep everything cool. Works like a charm and is not noticeable when the bags are not on the bike.
Do you and Eric ever swap bikes just for fun? Just curious if there's much difference between the two aside from color. I sold my 610 a few days ago. It had just been sitting in my garage collecting dust ever since I got my 511. I was sad to see it go, it is a great bike.
No, we never switch bikes because Eric's TE is waaay too tall for me. I could pull it off if it were a lightweight dirt bike but the TE is too manlyEric says the TE is easier to wheelie because the front end is much lighter.
My one 610 te now has 30,000 km on and the cam chain is at 9 clicks changing it due to a bearing on the rocker that is going --noisy -- also making a lot of carbon parts for her as well as Madonna that is now in the house as i need the space in my workshop --Here she is --just removed the one panel to make sure she is there Soon i will take her out --but till then i will just drool over her hehe
A new bike in reserve is just not fair! Man, that is thinking ahead; they don't make 'em like that anymore. The real cheat though is that any farkles just transfer right over.
Hey there Auntytart This is just a picture thread, no reason to get into all this in here What you need to do is start a new thread in the 610/630 section and ask your question there, if you have pictures of the metal shavings it's even better I'm sure we'll be able to help you there
The weather is starting to cool off a little here and we've had just a beautiful weekend, found a nice little road out in the country and it dead ended at this spot here. Also just installed a super loud horn where the smog canister used to be. :thumbup:
Yeah! That's exactly what it is. Sounds like a train horn and I was even able to reuse the actual smog canister's little braket. Took all of about 10 minutes to do. I even got to use it the other day when a lady on her phone began to drift into my lane. Earned her a nice deep "BRRAAAAAAA". Woke her right up. Also, has anyone had a problem with their neutral light flashing on a FI bike? I know it means there's a problem with the fuel injection system, but could this be a direct result of adding an uptite slip-on, O2 sensor plug, and opening up the airbox cover? I know adding a performance chip to a car will result in a check engine light. I've also had my instrument display fail twice and now a third time, but it started working again recently. The husqvarna rep. is sending my dealer a new wiring harness for the bike as well as a new display regardless(after about a month or so of waiting), could this also be a result of this electrical issue? Thanks to whoever may be able to help with this, and I apologize for such a long winded question. Or rather series of questions.
