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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

13 TXC310 Suspension Help

i'm not letting the dealer that gave me delivery of my husky anywhere near the suspension - suspension deserves a lot more attention than even just spring change.

i'm a bigger guy also, and changing to 4 or 5 spring rates higher WITHOUT a revalve is asking for a dangerous action on the suspension (pogo stick). i think it sucks, spending money on a brand new bike, but if it's a light weight racing dirtbike i just expect it. unless you are right in the correct range, you're gonna have to drop money on suspension if you truly want the bike to work right. even in the right weight, you may not like valving. to me - it's like adding skid plates and hand guards and number plates - all part of setting up a new bike.

and the dealer "tech" wouldn't have a clue - he didn't even know how to turn on the fuel bypass hose on the bike he was going over for me as i took delivery. yeah, not letting him touch anything as complicated as suspension
 
I probably need to get mine done. Stuff that I remember just floating over on my 250OR when I was a kid almost throws me over the bars now. Other than gas, oil, and a few minor parts, I never spent a penny on that bike.
