• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I have an 06 TE 610 with less than 2k miles and it's pretty cherry. I bought it with 1500. I fixed some small things and added an arrow muffler and a JD jet kit. It starts and runs great and everything works as it should......however..... it's not very powerful. i'm coming off a couple husabergs and a beta 500 and have some idea of what I expected out of 570cc. I don't expect a race engine but I expected more. The only thing I could imagine that could be wrong is maybe the cam could be off a tooth but I never had it out and I don't think the PO did either
 
The 610 responds very well to "pipe and jet" and should be about the same as the Beta 500 ....i have a few 610s and a 2017 beta 500. The feel is a bit different between the bikes, but when you race them side by side, they are virtually even ...i have done just that with my son :)

Beta wheelies a lot easier, and feels stronger, but it is not any faster, especially after 80mph
