  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Folks,
I just bought a 2012 WR125 to replace my 2008 WR125...
The forks are obviously different but i can't seem to get any set-up info on them
(my memory stick manual doesn't open!)

The suspension is very different to my old bike! the forks are hard as rock while the rear shock is like a pogo stick! But to be fair i haven't yet set it up...

I've been advised to change the fork oil to 5 weight but when i drained the old oil out i found one fork leg had about 200ml while the other was almost empty!!

So.... to my question at last...

Can anyone tell me how much Fork oil to put in them...?


Many thanks

ah, yer on it. and measure your fork OAL too..(overall lentgh) deduce your projection above the top clamp from there (rarely equal) so the axle goes in easy and your forks aitn sticky. makes a big dif. set that sag man...then the clickers. Huksy AU should have downloads on the clicker settings etc. i think HvNA does too?

I like the 45mm MZ forks on my 08 better than '11 310

How many bikes you got ? - I can see 5
 
Thanks guys, yes i wanna get the fork oil right then mess about with the settings... I'm just amazed that the suspension is so far out on this new bike! my last 3 Huskies have been almost perfect straight out the box!! - just a few clicks this way or that and they worked perfectly!

And Rockdancer, they're not all my bikes. I share the workshop with some Supermoto guys (space ain't cheap here in London!!) But the rest of my bikes are at an even more secret location... But to answer the question...15 bikes (only 6 of em Huskies) so yes - I'm busy fixing somthing I've broken on one or the other of them almost all the time! :(

Cheers guys
