• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 am looking at a 99 TE 610 to turn into a light adventure bike. My question is, how many configurations of the 610 have there been since 99 (other than the FI)? And will aftermarket parts fit most models prior to 2007?
 
The major drawback to using a pre-06 TE610 as an adventure bike is it's gas tank capacity. I know that IMS, Clark, Safari and Acerbis do not make a tank for it. 2.4 gallons just doesn't go very far.
 
It gives it about 100 miles or so of range. So if you plan carefully or carry an extra gallon or two of gas... But it's not an adventure bike. It lacks the range as well as carrying capacity. Later models can get considerably more range, but they still suffer from inadequate carrying capacity. Not that it stops many from doing adventure riding on them anyways...
