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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TwinAir for your Husqvarna 610/630

If you're like me you are due for a replacement or spare air filter element. I found the TwinAir part number is the same for TE/SM610 and 630 is 155506. Also fits TC/TE/SM 400/570 from 2001 up.

Then I searched by part number and it pulled up amazon.com for $28.95 shipped no tax.

They generally sell for about $40 plus shipping, slightly less if you shop it. Cool deal huh?
Just thought I'd pass it along since the photo is wrong and most will not know it's the right part number. Get 'em while you can. ;)

$43.10 at canadasmotorcycle.com. Free shipping if you get enough stuff to get the price over $69.
 
Got an email that they are refunding my money as they are back-ordered. :( Maybe I will try again in a couple of weeks.
 
I just lucked out because I saw CJ's post not long after he posted it and I jumped on it. My tracking shows "out for delivery"
 
It's a beautiful thing...soaked it with FFT and slapped 'er in there. Nice to have a new one.
Should' took a pic. LOL.

It's a crappy designed airbox, lets dirt in past the filter - I get a fine dusting on the backfire screen. Johngil said it was the fitting for the motor breather. Anyway, I even grease the seal on mine and sits in there properly.

I really thought the Twin Air filter oil was much better than the other products on the market too.
 
Even if it didn't let dust in it is a crappy design: How many bolts to get to it???
I'm used to cleaning the filter after every ride on my dirt bikes. On the KTMs, just unsnap the side panel, and there is the filter. On the CRF450: Pop the seat off (2 bolts and there you are)
I guess street legal bikes have a lot more restrictions on intake/exhaust.

Anyway, on my bike the engine breather had indeed popped off the airbox. Not sure how long the previous owner ride like that, but the inside looked clean.

We drill a little hole in the flange and thru the breather connector and put a mini zip tie on there.

Make sure you apply anti-seize compound to the airbox cover screws.

BTW, for any of y'all that think the TE airbox is difficult to service, check out what's involved with getting at the air filter on the Tiger 800XC. It requires a half dozen plastic trim pieces to be removed and then the tank, then the screws in the airbox cover. Fortunately UNI came up with a sock that replaces the snorkel so the paper element only needs service about every 10K miles. Definitely not designed as a dirtbike!
