Husqvarna TE-610 Owners Sign In Thread.

I also went with XPC. It is so much better than stock. Ask if he still has a 10% discount for ADV members.

After having Renazzco, Corbin, Ed's Moto and Guts seats, Seat Concepts without a doubt the best I've had. I have them on three of my Huskys,

Ok guys, I finally got all the parts to put the 610 back together. Now I just got done installing the cam chain, and upon reinstalling the tensioner to see how many clicks it was at, I found that when I pulled it back out there were no clicks showing. Now normally this wouldn't alarm me but I know there were a lot of people on the forum that reported the new chains being at 4-5 clicks.

Just to clarify;
I installed the tensioner correctly ( push ARM all the way against the housing, bolt up to jug and then install spring, and nut ).
Checking clicks. After install of tensioner, turn engine over 5-6 times. ( everything moves freely, timing is dead on)

Removal of tensioner; remove 10mm nut and spring, then remove 8mm bolts from jug, take out tensioner and count clicks.


Everything is together correct. I'm thinking that this new chain is just at 0 clicks. Everything turns over great and have had no issues yet with reassembly.

Let me know what you guys think.

That was my result also...maybe 1 click at best.

All done now, running fabulous. Thanks for your help. I was worried there for a bit.

I know it's running and all, but I found that valve adjustment weirdness was always a worn top end part. Roller tips or rocker shaft and bushing, if a roller seizes you're gonna have a mess.

That's true D&G, but there is a better than a 50% chance that he adjusted his valves at the end of the exhaust stroke the first time. Could be both?

Sure, could be. First time it happened to me I was baffled, every time I rolled through the strokes and checked my work I'd come up with a different clearance.

Hi Folks!
I have been away from the forum for a while.
I haven't ridden much since I was struck while riding my bicycle in May 09'.
I was mostly good, for getting rear ended at 30+mph, no broken bones, but my back being weakened had me
scared to ride and hurt it more severely. And it also had a lot to do with my
hesitance to replace the camchain .
Now I am motivated to get the bike back in top shape and will be creating
a thread for documenting a complete bike inspection.

Today I removed the rear sub-frame to get the battery tray welded.
Since I had the exaust off I thought I would check the cam-chain tensioner fearing
I might have gone past the 10click limit. I was still
at the 8 clicks from the previous check at around 14,500m.
I am currently around 15,500m, so I am gonna go ahead with replacement
and switch to manual tensioner. I predict I won't wear out another camchain before
40,000 miles .

So wish me luck and I will keep the group updated once I start the "Inspection and Repair" thread.

Hadn't heard about your accident, Dan...glad you're back!!




I sold my 610 after my 10 states on dirt trip in the fall of 2009, poor thing was beyond beat and would have cost me 4k to get it back into shape.

Hey Dan, Haven't talked with you since we rode down in Kentucky several years back. Just bought 610 number 5, a mint 700 mile 07 in PA. Going after it next Friday. My current 2006 was Big Dog's then Fishfund's and a couple others here.. I traded for it from XDBX. He spent a lot of time getting it back in shape. It runs like new. I'm convinced with the slightest care, these things will last a long time.

I've been riding the area around S-Tree a lot. After you get her back together give me a shout.

Thanks Larryboy!
I was considering a lawsuit so couldn't post anything about it for fear it might affect the case.
I am so stoked to get back into riding and am very grateful you and the rest of the group are here
to lean on!

Hey Ray,
I remember that avatar pic of yours, I think I took it...I will definately get in touch when I get her sorted.

I could not wait one day for the water pump gasket to arrive in the mail, so I used liquid gasket stuff to seal it up.

Since the bike was still apart I talked myself into putting the factory gasket on. I kept thinking how pissed I'd be if I did not and got a leak out in the woods with banjos playing far off in the distance and getting closer and closer as I'm pushing the bike. After that thought I immediately pulled the pump off! Apparently the clearance in the water pump is so close that by not putting the factory gasket on the fins made contact with the pump housing and busted them off. When I screw something up I don't do it half assed, even the nut and part of the cam shaft busted off!


So I guess my TE busted a nut. I still have not found the fins and will be taking the top apart unless some one has a better idea. So don't rush things and use the right part, or pay, pay, pay.

Going through the thread to catch up and found this. Had not heard of this so felt I should re-post for others.
Will add it to the Index as well.

Really nice to see you posting again Dan. I remember lurking your posts and lusting, way back when, before I had my first 610.

[drrags]

Dang dude, I didn't know about that! I just assumed you moved on with a different bike and abandoned us all here
Glad you're back and glad you seem to be doing alright

I had a Mr. Ed's on my last TE610 which was ok. and I'm running a Corbin on my TE450. The Corbin is rock-hard and dished deeply. That would be fine if I had 'roids, otherwise I don't care for it too much. I had a Renazzco on my 640A that I liked. This time around I'm going to try XPC.
