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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Thought I should relay some info here in the event there are other absent minded Tx 300 owners here. Near the end of season was getting concerned my air fork was underperforming. This thought first game to me when I bought another used bike, a 2011 ktm 250 XCf. I rode that bike and was so impressed with how planted the front end was. Happy but pissed that my NEW bike couldn’t come close to the same inspiring confidence of fri t end. So I raised the bars of the TX in triple clamps and found that made a slight difference.

Last couple races of season noticed the forks just seemed like they had too much air. Have been diligent with setting pre-ride to 9.6 bar (I’m about 190 to 195 with gear. Even dropped pressure for last race and thought jmmmm maybe at 50 hours the stiffness is just time for a fork rebuild.....well.....a little YouTube surfing this morning confirmed that there is a BLEEDER ON THE AIR AIDE OF FORK****************************************!! Yup.....I’m a dummy. I was bleeeding the non air side religiously but didn’t recall anything in manual about bleeding air side. Now.....butter.....just in time for snow. Oh well. Next season will be awesome!!

Haha, yep, and if I recall from experience, a LOT of air comes out of the air side bleed screw! Oh well...
 
I put motion pro speed bleeders on both sides, check AER pressure and bleed both bleeders. note pressure does rise a little in the AER chamber from cold moring to warmer afternoon along with the forks warming up, I like 9.6 Bar so in the cold morn I start at 9.4, by banging miles and temp increase later in the day Im at 9.6
