Hello, if anyone is interested below is the link to my 2011 sms630 for sale. asking price has now dropped to $5000. If interested please contact Gregg @ Montgomeryville Cycle Center. http://www.montgomeryvillecc.com/2011-Husqvarna-SM630-inventory.htm?id=474304&used=1&fm=2&vin= Thank you.
Am thinking of ridding myself of mine too. `Twas ok, but not one of my most loved bikes (I usually hold on to them till the bitter end .... but not this one)
I actually would rather have a 630, but the insurance spikes because it's over 600cc Been considering getting a 630 cylinder/piston and cylinder head, but it's so expensive for just a little more HP and reliability.
What is more reliable about the 630 head? The main difference that I know of is shim over bucket, so adjusting the valve clearance is more difficult.
Somewhat more difficult, but the followers slide out of the way so you can change shims w/o pulling cams. Shims can't accidentally (quickly) come out of adjustment. But now you have to have a shim kit... .
Just too heavy and cumbersome. I need a sumo with not more than a 400cc lump that´s a lot lighter and more nimble. Nothing wrong with the 630. `Tis reliable and sturdy enough for every day usage .... even fairly fast on the motorway, but sadly, I´ve never taken to it. So it´s off to the knacker´s yard in payment for something or other.
^^ Agreed. The hardest part for me was getting the valve cover off/on the top end because the thermostat for the cooling system is in the way. If you aren't riding something I can see selling it. For me though, I can not see myself getting rid of my mighty TE 630. It is the best DS bike I have ever had. If I had to choose only one bike, the TE 630 would be it.
Nothing about the head being more reliable. It's the cam chain issue on the 610... the 630 has a different setup, and no issue with the cam chain as far as I've read into it.
Isn't the 610 a single overhead cam where the 630 went to a dual overhead cam set up with revised cam chain tensioner and chain.
