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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Water and your 610

I would like to do some more adventure rides on my '08 TE 610 but I need to get it ready for some water crossings. What have you done to your bike to help it from watering out and keeping water out of the bike. The air filter is so low and open I'm not sure what I can do.
I also did a search but didn't see anything on this yet. If there is can you point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
 
I wouldn't worry to much about the air filter. Even though the intake to the filter appears to be very low, the actual carb intake is mounted high in the air box and won't suck in water anymore than any other bike.

heard the intake tone change during a water crossing, DRZ I was behind had no issue, is this because the water was at the bottom of filter?

Probably. If you take you're cover off you'll see that there are a couple of routes that air can take to get to filter, two of them are the low ones that everyone seems to worry about and the other is mounted high. If the lower ones get submerged it will draw more air through the top one and that will change the tone. When you remove you're filter you'll see that the actual air inlet to the carb is mounted at the very top, you can't get much higher up with out a snorkel.
