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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 TE310 front fork height?

Just bought a second hand 310 and trying to confirm original fork height.

The bike was set at the 3rd lower ring. Is that the stock setting. Or should it be at the first ring at the top.

In addition is the original bar mount offset setting inwards for closer to rider or outwards? Thanks for any help just want to figure out what original settings are.
 
I am talking about the outside lines on the fork tube when lining it up against the triple clamps. In other words dropping or raising the fork tubes. Is stock raised at the first top line.

2nd question was handlebar mount location is stock with bars closest to body. If you tak out the riser bolts you van choose close or farther away?
 
My 2010 250 had the forks 13mm above the top clamp and the bars were at the closest (to the rider) position. Forks are still the same but I swapped the bar mounts around to get more room, made the steering lighter too.
 
Just experiment with it, the fork height is pertinent to your own riding style and the type of terrain you typically ride in. For instance I ride in a mixture of sand, clay and rock. For me I have the forks set level with the top clamp to move the centre of gravity aft thereby unweighting the front end a tad for sand riding (my weakest point). This is especially so as I am getting on and late into a ride I get lazy and do not stand as much in the sand as I should (shot knees). Remember each line in the fork is a significant move so suggest you move only one line at a time and experiment for a while at that setting.
