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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello All, first post here so bare with me:
I've had my 2019 TE 150 for a while now and I've got 82 hours on it. I just put new oil in both forks (I know, I waited wayyyyy too long) and I saw on a video from Tokyo Offroad
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdWAN_Vi2ZA where he uses an oil level gap tool at the end to get the exact level. So I bought one. Well, I found out there is no air gap spec in my manual, in the video he measured it at 110mm, I tried that and sucked out a ton, way too much, so I put it back in the fork. The thing is that they made minor changes to the 2019 forks, they take more oil for example. I measured the amount of oil correctly. So I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a spec for the air gap on the 2019 WP Xplor forks? Or should I just stick with the measurement of oil and call it a day? Thanks in advance.

Measuring the airgap with the tool is quite simple as it's basically a steel tube with mm integers that is slotted through a round disc with a hose and syringed attached - the racetech tool is a lot easier but same concept.
You set the rod height, say 110mm under the disc, place into the fork tube and then pull the syringe until it stops sucking fluid...that is 110mm air gap.
The KTM/Husky manual will give you the amount of oil to pour into the tubes which is around 642 +/- 10ml.\
Just make sure you have completely bleed the fork of any air, don't add the spring, before you adjust the air gap.

Modern tuners either work with fork oil height/volume as they know how much air gap is left over but the manual will just give you their standard fork oil volume...more oil volume the less air gap and vice versa..one in the same really as a high fork oil volume/less air gap can make the front feel much firmer to harsh and the opposite with less oil/more air gap.
