Magic button Husky
I went for the TE610E, for riding in South America (2001>2008).
Very good on or off the road.
Sold the first one and got another from the UK.
Both are still running round Ecuador/Peru at 70+thousand k's on original engines.
One had new rings at 54'000k's and the second needs them at 70 thousand.
I suspect that cam chains and such should be replaced when the rings are done next time.
One bike blew the fork seals at 22'000 but only once.
Suspension works very well even 2up and loaded.
Seat is not that great for 2 people but works ok.
DO NOT change the mufflers as they provide support for the rear sub frame and the sub frame WILL crack if the muffler "support" is removed.
No trouble with poor fuel or altitude.
Factory 20L tank fitted when new.
Very easy to work on with few tools.
I will post some photos when I can.
