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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi
I just blew out a fork seal and it was immediately a messy sight.

having the seals on the shelf the question i should ask myself earlier is about the oil

looking in the search section it doesn't give me the answer and the parts manual only give me a husky order nr but not the oil weight nr for the fork oil.

any help to find the answer is highly appreciated

I use 5wt with the oil height at 100mm for moto, and 110mm for woods, measuered with fork spring uninstalled and fork fully compressed. I use Honda fork oil because I can allways get it
and its consistant so you don't have to change your settings every time you service your
fork.

thanks for you response

not having the experience with suspension overhauling (only played with settings)
what exactly do you mean with the oil height?

I would think more in the line of volume with oil?

With the cap off and the spring out and the fork completely compressed, measure distance from fork top to oil level. volume can vary depending on how well the fork drained.

that works with open chamber forks... are your forks open, or closed chamber?

Just because you have a WR, doesn't mean they are one or the other... Husky sent out WR's with both open and closed.
 
In 02 you have 45mm open forks. stock husky recommended 7.5 wt, but oils all labeled the same IE. "5 wt" or "10 wt" all vary significantly in cold and warm performance, so much so that one brands "5wt" may be the same as another brands "10 wt". Whatever brand you choose, be sure to change it in both legs.
