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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The infamous oil thread. Spectro oil?

Anybody using Spectro oil in their Husky? I'll have my new TE610 next week and want to treat it right. :thumbsup:
Thanks,
Grump
 
I think quite a few are.

Running Golden Spectro 4-semi synthetic in my TE510, and pretty much the same in all my previous bikes for the last +/-20yrs.
Typically run 20w/50 during hotter summer temps, 10w/40 in cooler spring/fall.

You might start/stay with petroleum oil for the first several hundred miles of break-in, then switch to the Spectro syn blend
 
Yea,what RLW said.I've been using their products 30+ years ...2 Stroke and 4 Stroke .....way back when it used to be called Hi Point(if my mind serves me correctly,but it does go on the fritz occasionally..my mind that is :doh:). Good stuff:thumbsup:
:ride:Guscycle
 
Here is what my dealer uses and recommends, Spectro 4 "Off Road" Petroleum for break-in period of 600 mi. or so. After that, Spectro 4 "Off Road" Semi-Synthetic. 20-50 HiFlo HF-154 filters.

Use the old oil for chain lube.

We should all still be proud though:D

I really don't want to take this thread off topic but.....

As a general reminder - 4 letters is the minimum length for searches. "oil" will not turn up meaningful results....

I'm working on that but it will be months before it changes.

EDIT - the "Similar Threads" feature at the bottom of the page may, or may not, be useful - I really do not know... In the future (I know everyone is tired of hearing this) threads will be filed away so people can find them easier.

Ok,
I know oil threads (among other powerful topics) are usually never ending etc...It was just I never even heard of Spectro oil till recently so thats why I asked. :excuseme: So I am going to give it a try. :thumbsup: But as usual, changing it often is the best medicine no matter what kind you use...
Cheers,
Grump

P.S. It seems like I searched and maybe the 3 letter rule kept me from finding those other threads. I did like the link to the oil thread above (ThumperTalk). :lol:
 
We use Motul 15 50 over here (UK) Motul has proven to be a superior oil over alot of the other oils in the UK. Never used Spectro but I think Drew at WER (US) uses it so it must be good.

No one uses the 10W60 that the manual specifies?

Another way to contol whose oil you use (factory tie-ups). Very few manufacturers make a 10w60. Motorex and Agip (obviously) do. The Motul 15w50 will be outperforming most oils after an hours running, its double ester based.
