Husqvarna TE610E-LT year 2000 - project bike

Project bike: Year 2000 Husqvarna TE 610E-LT

Price: R15 000

I’ve run out of energy and intelligence to finish this project. And my XRV750 is more suitable for my riding.

So if someone is interested in taking the project over, I am open to offers.

Status: not running, blown head gasket. Was running when I parked it, but after standing overnight, had no compression next morning. It’s been standing with oil in the engine and gets walked around the garage regularly.

To-do list:

• Repair pin prick holes in radiators that caused overheating
  Remove head and inspect piston.
  To do this, remove sleeve (looks like stainless??) that feeds water to piston jacket
  (I have tried but it requires some kind of bearing puller - see the last picture)
  Buy and install new head gasket (Puzey in JHB are agents and can supply)
  Buy new battery
  Assemble
