Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

As far as fork oil amount, can't figure that page out but I read here somewhere that 280ml is for the outer tubes and you fill the inner ones to the full
No specs on the torquing but you can for sure over tighten the forks clamps easily to block them from sliding ...
This link was a real eye-opener for me on fork oils
Oil is just oil ... www.pvdwiki.com/index.php

I've been playing with the clickers (front&rear), fork and shock sag, and fork oil lately and my forks have gotten at least 75% better than when I got the bike ... I'm doing street, trail and small track MX racing ... Jumps are the biggest issue as the forks will bottom too easily so I'm adding fluid to help stop it ... I should add also I was having the rear tire hit the fender also ... This was on smaller 30-35' jumps ... So don't expect it 2 B a jumper ..
No re-valving here... Not n the budget 4 sure and after the improvements I have found, I'm doing OK with these stock parts ... Please remember sag setting cannot be over looked ... Set it all over the place and the bike will respond ... good or bad, I make a change and I can tell on the next ride something happened
One other thing, these bike have issues with a small 0-ring on the slave cylinder on the hydro clutch...If you start having UR clutch go limp after a few miles, it is most likely this issue... All the issues and whatever about this bike are outlined here ... Just do a search

PS -- You might have to re-jet the CARB to some degree ... See if the bike has a small O-ring on the accelerator pump arm...if so, someone has been tuning on it
