Bore X Stroke:
Specifics to be detailed in the manual, typical for this class around 90-100mm bore.
Cooling System:
Liquid-cooled
Valve Train:
SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft), 4 valves (typical for this era's performance)
Compression Ratio:
Expected around 10.0:1 to 11.5:1
Horsepower:
Estimated 45-55 HP (at crankshaft)
Torque:
Estimated 50-60 Nm (at crankshaft)
Fuel Delivery:
Carburetor (likely Keihin or Mikuni, specific model in manual)
Carburetor Size:
Likely 38-40mm
Ignition Type:
CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition)
Oil Type:
High-quality motorcycle-specific 4-stroke engine oil (e.g., Motul, Castrol) with JASO MA rating.
Oil Capacity:
Approximately 1.5-2.0 liters (check manual for exact spec and filter change).
Safety Ratings:
N/A (Motorcycles typically do not have standardized crash test ratings like cars).
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc brakes front and rear.
Suspension Adjustability:
Adjustable front forks (preload, compression, rebound) and rear shock absorber (preload, rebound).
Lighting:
Headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signals.
Oil Change Interval:
Every 3,000-5,000 km or annually, whichever comes first (refer to manual for exact intervals and conditions).
Air Filter Cleaning:
Every 5-10 operating hours or as needed based on riding conditions (more frequently in dusty environments).
Chain Lubrication And Adjustment:
Regularly, every 500-1000 km, and check tension frequently.
Spark Plug Inspection:
Every 6,000-8,000 km or as per manual recommendations.
Valve Clearance Check:
Every 10,000-12,000 km or as specified in the manual.
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors (typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water). Specific type to be confirmed in manual.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid.
Common Wear Items:
Clutch plates, wheel bearings, steering head bearings, brake pads, chain and sprockets, fork seals, exhaust gaskets.
Potential Reliability Points:
While generally robust, maintenance of the cooling system and regular attention to the carburetor's jetting and cleaning are crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Electrical connections can sometimes be a point of attention on off-road machines.
Brand Origin:
Swedish, with a long history in motorcycles, chainsaws, and power equipment.
Te Series Lineage:
The TE line represents Husqvarna's commitment to off-road and enduro competition and recreation, evolving from earlier models with larger displacements and more aggressive performance tuning.
Manufacturing Location:
Italy (during this ownership period of Husqvarna by Cagiva/MV Agusta)
Production Period:
The TE 610E was a popular model in Husqvarna's dual-sport lineup during the late 1990s and early 2000s, with this specific generation spanning 2000-2003.
