I have had a great year with my SM 610, but I have been bamboozled by another bike so my Husky is up for sale. I've put the bike up on ADV rider, Supermotojunkie and this wonderful site and . ........ not much response............ If you remember, I put Kenda K270's on the bike somewhat like Woodschick's bike. I am wondering if the dirt tires on the street wheels is hurting the response? I realize that there are a ton of bikes for sale right now but I'd feel better with a few nibbles. Should I go out and put street tires on the bike? What do you folks think?

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Definitely street tyres****************************************
People will think you have been thrashing it and doing jumps, riding through bog holes and swamps.
If I am buying I want to feel as if a bike has never even touched the dirt!!
My 2c worth anyway.....

Putting dirt tires on a SM is definitely going to narrow the market base. Most people either want a SM or a TE, not too many are going to want a half breed unless you have a set-up to go both ways.

That's right! I'll just have Eric write the ad and put in those magic words that let everyone know the bike has been babied... "wife's bike."WoodsChick

Craigslist ?
This bike is so right for where you reside that someone local with a bit of sense in his head is bound to snatched it in a hurry
I would put back the street rubber and post pictures of it with both types of tires on for a wider sales audience
Good luck
BTW whatever it is that you’re switching to is wrong....

I sold my '09 SM 610 completely stock with barely 1000 miles on it and here is what I learned ...
be prepared to almost give the bike away ( at least compared to what you paid for it new )
be sure the tires are STREET TIRES and are new or barely worn
be sure to emphsize the bike was never abused, carefully broken in, and generally ridden like a moped
be ready to deal with BOTTOM FEEDERS that want you to sell the bike for nothing and will then ask if it comes with any extras
in other words hang in there and be patient and you will eventually sell the bike and get nowhere near what it is worth.
IMHO
