My POINT is, I was not pretending to make any kind of POINT.. I asked a QUESTION.....So anything directed my way is MISdirected and MISQOUTED... as I showed already. so many people spoke up about how it was so odd.. I posted as an example of being not odd at all. I only listed my setup for reference, which is about the most common of setup/gearing for a 610 that there is... no example of boasting there like you try to insinuate... Wanna see my perfectly functioning 08 610 kicker now???
The thing I really like about CafeHusky is the fact that people didn't/don't get wound up and spout off on the forum.
Two lil wheelies, both "launched" in 4th, no clutch. Really, are 4th gear wheelies so odd on these???? I know mine is an old 08 610 with just PU and 14-45, but even I can rip 4th gear wheelies no problem and now that I'm getting decent at it can usually grab and kepp it up through 5th.. Yeah.. there's the original post that two others had to refer to and basically call me a liar by "changing my story 2-3posts later" and / or "being so proud of" the "wheelie abilities of the 610"... Sure reads more like a question from here... Others had to get in a debate about what bike/gearing was "whelliable" and THEY dragged my name in it by calling me a liar because they didnt read properly... I get touchy about being called a liar.. Especially when it's because of thier lack of reading comprehension.
I come to this thread to see what has been posted regarding other members recently purchased/installed items. I'm starting to not bother. Wheelies are cool. Can't add much more than that. Mine happen to be accidental. Will you guys please get back to the point.
Latest purchase on my behalf is as follows: Winter storage icl full service valve adjustment Oil and filter change Air filter cleaning ( or change if needed ) Bolt tension check ( my front brake disc came undonde ) Clutch adjustment and bleeding of hydraulics New front and rear tire, Michelin Pilot Power 2CT ( 120x60x17 and 160x60x17 ) Praying for a short winter!
Plenty of people leave their gearing stock. It isn't the content of your posts that really got my attention. It's your attitude. For example: Well, yes, they are odd on these if you don't drop the gearing way down. You jump in here, spouting all this 4th gear wheelie business and talk down to those of us that can't, all while you're riding a bike that's geared quite a bit lower than a stock 630. Then, when someone calls you on it, you get defensive and try to pick a fight.
Back on topic! I was removing a tweaked/warped front rotor and, of course, stripped the allen-headed bolt. I tried a few ways to get it out, and then bought one of these: http://aldn.com/Pages/drillOut.php This is a really cool little tool. It drilled right down through the bolt shaft, staying nicely on-center. Then the extractor part engages, squeezes itself down in the hole and ...zip...the bolt came right out.
I want a sticker on my helmet "Wheeling in 4th Gear is NOT a CRIME" ok, no more about wheelies. But the bike does make sweet power with tuner/pipe/airbox mods...which is how this all started. Latest purchace....Water pump seals and o-rings...will install soon and get bike back running. But no wheelies------
I get defensive when someone call me a liar when they in FACT ARE THE LIAR.. I never changed my story 2-3 posts like YOU said... Thats the ONLY WHEN and WHY I caught an attitude.. I asked the question around the campfire, Is it so odd???? Try reading right and an apology next time when you mispeak and I wont have an attitude. good day
ATD1 and Jtemple gave me the idea to use oem TE510 pegs. The are a direct fit and cost around $100 from my Husky dealer. Oh yea, my TE630 wheelies better with the new pegs
I put these on my 630 and now I can wheelie through the water, snow and mud and not worry about my feet slipping off the pegs.. what a difference..
I put on a hammer head folding shift lever head and can now change gears easier while in a fourth gear wheelie! (Sorry - I couldn't resist!)
No.. if we were I would have already kicked Temple N Fast in the nuts after being released from time out after..... Kicking them in the nuts... . Bad ass pegs btw... Every 610/630 needs those... Just like modded gearing... :-P. Question for Fast though is, can he kickstart it after stalling out in the water... :P.... Sorry... Couldnt resist.... A big Husky hug for all now.
Now that will be my next mod... any pics of how it fits and/or any advise on the install? I just might try a 14/45 so I can do third gear starts in the dirt and wheelie right from the hole shot and still click forth at 8K rpm....
Can you post the Hammerhead part number for your shift lever and who you purchased it from. I have a 2011 SMS 630 and would like a Hammerhead shift lever.
I bought the +20 replacement folding head, not the whole shift lever. I needed more room for my size 13 shoes.
Me too! Nothing more humiliating than not being able to shift on a fast getaway `cos I just can´t get my foot under the lever. Part number and source??
I posted some photos of the Hammerhead tip on my bike plus part no. on this thread if you are interested in having a look. http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/new-member-and-te630-owner.19163/#post-174751
