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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Headlight bulb

I'm sorry if this is a repost but I could not find what I'm looking for. I have a stock headlight on my '08 610. I took out the bulb and I'm not sure what number the bulb is. I think its called a E1 but not sure. I know its a 35w bulb.
Anyone know what upgraded bulb will work. I want to keep the stock light but maybe a 65/55w bulb.
Thanks.

The enclosure is not going to like any higher wattage bulb. The wiring will be okay but the heat will likely cause some plastic bubbling. Other 610 owners who have attempted it have had such results.
 
There are many opinions and options for this question. One thing is for sure, the stock 35w is lame.

Expand your mind on the options out there. With a 300W alternator the 610 will power almost any light imaginable.

Here's mine:

You can safely go to a 45 watt bulb with the stock lens without ruining it. That's about it though.
 
I replaced the stock candle holder with a Baja Designs Halogen and never looked back. George @ Uptite has a trick LED setup that has received great reviews and simply replaces the stock bulb reflector and enclosure. :thumbsup:
 
Just did a weekend ride with the TrailTech X2 setup. Far superior to stock. You can actually adjust the beam and it is actually useful in the dark! High beam lights up the road well too.
 
i take it this was for a TE? the SM bulb is 55/60w. was wondering myself about going up to a 100w bulb...

Interesting. What is the part number of this bulb, and where can it be bought? Will it fit a 2006 TE510? You're sure it won't melt the stock headlight lens and housing?

I have been running this very lightbulb in my 07 TE450 for about three years now. I bought both 35 and 45 watt bulbs form this place: http://www.bulbs.com/espec.aspx?ID=10607&RefId=564 Just remember that when you are riding in the pitch black night and you hit the brakes, the brake light will really draint he the headlight wattage and the headlight will get so dim that you can ahrdly see anything.:eek: When I run through this bunch, I think I'll try one of those Halogen one from Sicass Racing.
