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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just wondering if anyone else's has both fork top caps with adjusters on them. Not labled of course
I think the right is rebound & left is compression just from fooling around with them.

you might be talking about the bleeders (for burping air) maybe?

Rebound is on the top, compression adjustment is on the bottom (below the axle) for TEs.

I replaced both bleeders with the motion pro quick bleeders so it's not them. Neither of the forks have any adjustments on the bottom of the forks, and both fork caps look like the ones in the attachment you posted.
I think I may have gotten the left fork of a TC & the right fork of a TE?
I've only recently wanted to soften the compression ( which I would assume is the left fork ) so was looking at the service manual & noticed my forks are not the same as the manual.
Oh well, not a big deal if I can soften the compression, I keep getting bounced/ricocheted of rocks.

Click to expand...

take the rubber plugs off the bottom of your forks to get to the compression adjusters.

AFAIK all of these husky Kayabas (whether open or closed chamber) have adjusters at both ends. my '14 310r did have slightly different bottom adjusters than indicated by the manual, however.

if there really is a problem, take a couple of detailed images and post 'em.

good luck.
 
Finally - figured this out (only took 4 years) man what a difference 4 clicks make. I'm no longer paralyzed with fear when I see a baby's head rock in the trail.
Thanks for the help:-)
