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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can you identify this 610?

I'm fairly new to the Husky world so I'm not sure what era this 610 would be. The seller is claiming it's a 2003 which I know is not the case (left side kick, no e-start). The vin he gave me is zcgtc6108yv080088 but he says the title says it's a 2003. I know the 10th digit is supposed to be the year, but it looks like he may have missed a digit and I'm guessing the year is actually a 1998. Again, I'm new to the Husky world so any help would be appreciated.

The 10th digit is a y, and I think that denotes the year 2000.

Edit: I did a little bit of Googling and your bike looks much more like a 2000 than it does a `98.

A 1998 would have conventional 50mm forks and that bike definitely has 45mm usd like the 2000s had. A 2000 would have the 2 piece ignition ( stator, and coil/cdi combined ) a 1999 and earlier would have 3 piece ignition where the stator, coil, and cdi are all seperate. Hope this helps.
 
Cool, thanks guys. This is the exact info I was looking for. So rather than a 2003 TE 610 like the seller is claiming, it's a 2000 TC 610 :D
 
Or, it is a mongrel like my bike. My 1991 had USD forks from the factory. It now has a 1998 motor and it's getting a much later (2000 or so) magneto and coil. At some point, the bike just is what it is and if it works and you like it, great. If it is what you want at the price you can pay, the year is less important than whether it's been maintained or not.

Just saying.
