2011 Husqvarna TE630
HUSQVARNA TE 630
The Husqvarna TE 630 is a new addition to the Dual Purpose Husqvarna range and is launched
into a particularly interesting segment of the motorcycle market; 600 cc single-cylinder four-stroke
on/off-road bikes.
Based on the new SM 630, the Husqvarna TE 630 benefits from having many parts in common
with the smaller capacity racing four stroke Enduro Husqvarna models. The new machine sits in
the range alongside the proven WRE 125 and these two bikes are the only models by the
manufacturer who has won the title of off-road champion 78 times, to sit neatly in the dual
purpose sector: bikes that will take you anywhere.
With the new TE 630, Husqvarna intends to broaden the appeal of the range to include those less
competition-minded riders who use their bikes every day and need more comfort and practicality
but want to combine this with the thrill of owning a race bike.
Combining the look and character of a racing bike with performance perfect for daily use on or
off-road, the new TE 630 is perfect for those riders who want a bike with muscle but also class. It
is without any doubt the best example of how a racing off-roader can be transformed into a roadgoing
machine.
The new Husqvarna TE happily took up the challenge of racing and in the last Italian Championship
Motorally and Marathon Raid it just won in the "Marathon" category for production bikes, the
category Husqvarna dominated also in 2009.
The superlative engine is highly tractable even at low to medium revs thanks to its 600 cc capacity
achieved by increasing the bore from 98 mm to 100 mm. The DOHC head with a red painted
rocker cover like those on our racing bikes is inherited from the Husqvarna competition 450/510
engine and this permits a 20% increase in power over the earlier 576 cc version.
The TE 630 has an electronic fuel injection system developed in collaboration with Mikuni. The
engine features a 45 mm throttle body with the fast idle control on the handlebars and there is
now a 300 pa Mitsubishi "twin jet" fuel injector fitted to the throttle. The pressure regulator (3
Bar) regulates any return of excess fuel to the tank and the MAQS (Modularised Air Quantity
Sensor) consists of air temperature, mapping and TPS (Throttle Position) sensors.
The Kokusan 360W three-phase ignition flywheel is also new.
The water temperature sensor is on the cylinder head: the injection system unit processes the
signal from the sensor and controls the operation of the cooling fan on the right water radiator
according to engine temperature. The bike has a completely new cooling system with a new
impeller and water pump body.
The clutch is now controlled hydraulically and the left engine case has been redesigned.
New components include a petrol tank with a 40l/h pump and a capacity of 12 l; the non-return
fuel circuit has quick-fit connections for ease of removal.
The exhaust system on the four-stroke single cylinder engine has a "closed loop" lambda probe
and twin aluminium exhaust silencers. The catalyser has been redesigned and optimised to easily
meet Euro 3 requirements. The silencers, which also play an important role aesthetically, giving
the bike an aggressive look, are covered with stainless steel guards in the catalyser and passenger
foot peg area.
The suspension system consists of 45mm Marzocchi forks with rebound damping adjustment
partnered with a Sachs rear shock absorber.
The 2011 version of the TE 630 will have Magura tapered handlebars with new steering head
clamps and no cross bar.
