  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 guys. It´s time for a change of forkoil on my 300 and i wonder what viscosity is recommended. I couldn´t find what viscosity it should be in the service manual, only that the amount should be 643cc in each leg. I´ve heard that some guys use ATF oil and that it works fine. What do you think?

On most Twin Chamber type forks I run ATF in the outer chambers. Sometimes in the cartridge, but normally a good RSF there.
 
The heavier weight fluids will give your forks a different feel so beware ....

Oil is oil ... you can put 5w-40 in there if you want to ...
 
Viscosity wise, Mobil ATF is about the same as 5wt. HONDALINE Showa oil.

Are the '10 WR forks open chamber or TC type ?
 
Thanks for the info everyone. I´m satisfyed with the forks as they are, so i will let the oil out and refill with the same amount or maybe slightly more as i am about 200 pounds without gear. Do you think that could be a good idea? I have the 48mm Kayaba forks.
