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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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'll take one of each please. 
Lots of folks knocking the bikes on ADV but, a 2 into 1 exhaust, 5 gallon Aquline tank. Almost 610 weight with 20% more power, should still be one of the best dual sports on the market.

I agree with Rattletrap. An owner of the new TE630 can trim the weight down back to the TE610 range. As is, the new 630 has more power to weight... just a little too much weight stock.
The new 630 is nice looking. Thankfully, they stopped with the white frame paint.
Does anyone have a guess about the new engine's durability?
I noticed compression went from 11:1 with the 610 SOHC to 12.4:1 with the 630 DOHC.
Also noticed rear brake disc got bigger, but fuel tank got smaller.

I really don't understand why people are crying about a few extra lbs. The 610 was no light weight and never intended as a competiton enduro bike so it should be no surprise that the the 630 would be any different. If you want a dirt bike with a lincense plate then the 450/510 are the machines that should be looking at, the 610/630 are squarely aimed at guys like me who want to ride 75 miles of hwy to the trail, spend some time off roading in a fast paced but non competitive enviroment then ride back home. To that end the the 610 and now the 630 are probably the best bikes on the planet, frankly I'm gateful that they didn't ruin the bike by trying to make it into something different.

Well said. I was thinking the same thing. Thank god it didnt end up the over engineered german/austrian thing it could have become. Looks like a great updated 610 to me, and thats just what i hoped it would be.
The bigger motor should allow for panniers, fairing, big tank and all that a la the LC4 adventure bikes.
My 610 is fresh and dialed, but yeah in a year or three i will get a 630 and ride it to work, and then to Cabo. Nice job Husky.

I wonder if the new headlight will fit my 08? Thats the only thing I'm really ticked about my 610 is the headlight. Spend $6000 for a bike and then can't ride it to work at night. Constantly having to leave early from every ride looking at my watch so I can be back home before dark. I'll have to check them out when the new 630's hit the show room floors.
Haven't owned a 610 (yet), just looking at specs.
Older 610's show 3.3 gal tank. New 630 shows 3.17. Could be my spec source. About the same regardless.
I was in a showroom recently looking at some '09 Huskys and saw white frame paint, but it must have been on a 510? I looked at a 610 in the lineup, also. Brain fart, I guess.
All I know is white frame paint is wrong.
Hope the 630 is as reliable/durable. We'll find out soon enough.

Well, the Bike looks great.
There are still couple of things I think they missed like better front forks, a bit larger tank. (And yea, black rims would of been nice.) I think that the dual cans is extra added weight.
But all in all, it's still is the best Dualsport out there. And I want one.

Maybe the tank is different OR MAYBE the tank is the same and they are just measuring a more realistic fuel capacity.. It seems in my 08 the internal pump and stuff takes up about .1 - .2 G of the overall capacity.

as someone already said, its not a ballsy forest enduro bike so if you want big bore enduro, buy a te510 ! the 630 looks awsome in motard/street trim.. absolutely beautiful !! i'd love one or two, or wait, maybe as many as i could get !

the new star of "Ugly Betty". I hate paint on a swingarm**************************************** That's for crotch-rockets!!! Does it even say "husqvarna" or "TE-630" anywhere? Here's a tip-save money on bulky exhausts and fairings-not graphics. Please someone make that front clip and fender so it can deflect something besides a bug. Is that dual exhaust??? Can we find a way to make it heavier already??? Pa-lease!!! I was looking forward to this. Looks like another big-bore d.s. aimed at retired enthusiasts (not that there's anything wrong with that), but come on...I was looking for more of a Husky XR-650R with turn signals. Who wants another KLR-650??? Yeah****************************************!!! No, boooooooooo****************************************!
