  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

2006 Te510 Weight Reduction

A

Husqvarna
C Class
Ive put about 30 hours on the Te510 and im loving it so far. In Enduro spec she is a little on the heavy side and I do feel it when needing to pick the rear of the bike up for whatever reason.

After putting it on the scales and comparing it to a KTM500 it seems the front weights are similar, but the rear weight on the Husky is where it carries the extra weight (both were in Enduro spec with the same heavy duty tubes and tyres)

Any tips or easy things to do to get the weight of a TE510 down?
 
Good thing you didn't ask for cheap... ;)

Dropping weight from a 510 (or any Husky) sounds expensive - wheel hub, rim, drilled or slotted brake rotor, lightweight sprocket, lightweight exhaust, etc.

The 510 I had before my current bike was raced before I got it. They removed the sidestand, put carbon fiber engine covers, and even cut out some of the subframe (at the very back under the tail section), also put a slotted wave rotor up front. But they ran the stock pipe, wheels and rear rotor.

I bet it would be difficult to remove even a small amount, like 5 pounds.
