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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2017 Wp Explor Fork Service Help…

Evening…

I’m sure this topic has been covered many times, but hoping someone can help;

Servicing the XPLOR 48 forks on a 2017 Husqvarna FE450. There was one white plastic spring spacer below the spring on the right fork tube, but does not appear to be one on the left fork spring (Left and right being from riders POV. Left side = brake disc side.) Is this normal? Cause for concern? I’m certain this is the first time the forks have been opened up.

Also changing fork springs to a heavier spring, these new springs from Slavens are EVER so slightly longer than the OEM springs. How crucial is spring length and proper spacers etc? They are VERY close.

Lastly, on the ‘17 could a guy get away w/ simply adding the book stated volume (600ml) of oil and not bothering w/ the air gap step? In fact the ‘17 manual doesn’t mention air gap, simply oil volume.

Thank you!!!
