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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all. Just want to pick some brains here. Need advice on the TE610 fuel injection as far as Fuel consumption goes. ?
All types of riding.

Input will be much appreciated, as the dealers here in South Africa have not got a clue.
 
As far as fuel mileage goes with NO modifications, I've got as good as 62 mpg at normal cruising. As low as 48 at higher RPM's on the street. And the same with on and off the throttle in the dirt. Hope that helps.
 
Ive done 132 miles on a full tank and still had a bit left.

Off road hitting it hard still gets 40-45mpg. On road cruising i always get at least 50mpg.

Its amazing the difference between spinning the wheels in the sand, vs. 1/8th throttle am-i-gonna-make-it to that remote gas station 35 miles from here.

Im not surprised at all guys are getting over 60mpg.

Curiously-
I found the fuel economy to be very similar both stock, and with the power up kit.

Thank's seems like they are not the leanest on fuel consumption. What size is your fuel tank? I see here in S/A the specs say 3.3us gal. 12.5litres plus minus. We work in litres this side of the iron curtain

Thank's:thumbsup: I can live with that and just carry 7litre fuel cell with me on the longer trips.
Funny i also found that my 450 TE hardly any difference to fuel consumption on hard or casual riding ?

By the way i hear the fuel pump is in the tank. Is this true. Could be a problem for a aftermarket tank.
 
Yes the fuel pump is in the tank, and its got an auto shut off if its on its side or upside down, making it even more difficult for the aftermarket guys...

Aqualine in Australia has said they would make a larger tank, but its not certain.

Nobody offers one for the FI bikes, and adapting a non FI tank has proven a challenge on account of that pump.

You can get 200kms on a tank. But after that you are asking for trouble.

Lets see some pics of the 610 in SA!
 
62mpg on a 610??? Dang-it guys, now you got me thinking about trading in the WR-R for a TE610. That's what I would have bought to begin with had I known that similar fuel mileage could be attained. What am I going to do now??? What is a good U.S. price for a new one? Oh yeah, one more thing...how am I going to break this to my wife????

I had no clue about the shut off Mike... Mine has spent quite a bit of it's time on it's side on the ground putterin along with me sitting next to it, wondering, "what just happened" LOL....

I guess my shutoff is a lil stubborn .. :)
lets's hope she doesn't pick up too many more of her owners traits.. LOL....
 
My carb'd 06 gets about 50 MPG all the time on the street in SMR trim. Flogging it or not. 150 miles a tank.
 
I got 144 miles on a tank riding 2track on my 08 with the power up kit. Problem was, I needed to go 146 miles.:lol: Good thing I brought some extra fuel.
 
Same motor different purpose, I get 55 miles per gallon on my SM610. It looks to be the norm for the 610s to get around 45 to 55. I like it! It's nice to go that far on a couple of gallons.
 
I have an 08 610 and I have got as much as 240 km on a tank, with gas still left. Although today I ran out of gas at 221 km.

I do have the an after-market can the O2 plug and resistor chip mod.
