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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2009 TE310 fork revalve question

Hi all,
I recently acquired a 09 TE310 which is working out well. Where I ride the trails are rough with a lot of stutter bumps, square edges and such. I changed out the fork oil to light 5wt and reduced the oil height to 120mm but I think it really needs a compression stack revalve (which I've done often on KYB's). I notice this particular set of forks is similar to the KYB's as the compression stack is fit to the bottom and rebound adjustment is on top. BTW, wow, that rear shock works very well!

The question is, can you simply spin out the compression stack with an impact wrench as is often done on KYB forks? And reinstall the same way with no special tools?

Thanks
 
Amsoil light 5. I use it in most off-road bikes I have - it seemed a tad lighter than the stock oil and did improve response - but not quite enough. I don't want to go any lighter as I like the rebound action as is.
 
Never-mind, I found a post on this site where one fellow was able to unscrew the cap with an impact wrench with the forks still assembled...the same way I do the KYB's. Good deal.
