  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 guys im just about to change the fork seals on my 09 wr 300 and was wondering if anyone had a workshop manual download or a relevent file i could download with instructions ?

any help much appreciated

cheers jim
 
Just did mine a few weeks ago, pretty straight forward. Got the seal drivers from motion-pro, but just changed the seals and didn't do a complete tear down of the valve stacks. Will do that next time. Gerald at Upstate advised me to go with 140mm from the top for my oil, using 5wt. Good luck, have fun, save money...........
 
Here is a video part #1 of 3 that shows a fork (which is basically the same as the 50mm Zokes) being taken down and put back together. I recommend taking them all the way down so that you can clean the hard assembly grease out of the valving, unless that has already been done. It made a big difference on how my 09 WR250 Zokes worked. I made my own oil level tool with a plastic syringe from the feed store and you can use a wrap of electrical tape to protect the seal but the seal driver is a must. I bought mine from Motion Pro.

What sort of seals are you all using, I have some Synergy seals on order and apparently they are the bees knees?
 
As a side note, mud or dirt can get in these seals and cause them to leak ... These seals are nothing more than a piece of rubber with a metal spring around them holding them tightly against the fork leg ... That's as low tech as it gets ... The rubber that rubs on the fork can wear down or maybe get a cut, but if that spring is on that seal, that seal may very well be OK but has dirt inside it and cleaning the dirt out will stop the leak...

Mine may leak after a mud ride ... I watch them a few rides and if the leak stays, I take the time to go inside the outer chamber, change the oil and clean the seals... To date, this has always stopped the leaks ...

It is probably a good idea to change that oil on a regular basis... I'm using ATF now in the outer tubes as I change the oil monthly or so ...
