• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

TE/TC 2015 Recall

May want to just remove the fork caps and re tighten the dampening rod to be safe. It only takes a minute but you do need the tool that fits the cap to remove it or you can just fab up a simple tool with 2 pins to remove it. I re sprung my 2014 last June and snugged it up good and then proceeded to put 62 hours on the forks before a shop reworked them. I asked if any parts were loose or damaged and they said everything was good so I must have tightened it correctly. Easy job for piece of mind. If your bike falls in the recall range then you're stuck dealing with the shop you bought it from which will be a PITA for something so easy to correct. YMMV
 
I was fortunate to find out when my vin was checked, it was not part of the recall. The shop made it out sound like a small number was effected.

Good deal. The CPSC notice mentions in recall details, that 457 Husqvarna Brand units are affected.

Don't have to go to the dealer you bought it from. Bought mine at home in Washington, got it worked on in Phoenix today. Unless you just meant you have to take it to a dealer in general, then yeah.
 
I did mean taking it to a dealer. Seems like a bunch of hassle for an easy fix but if your Vin is included you're stuck with the dealer option.
 
My TE 250 is on the list. Just received a recall letter today. I was considering sending my suspension to a tuner at some point. Now I am wondering, should I take it to dealer for the recall or simply send my forks to the tuner now?????
