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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fork position in the triple clamps

I am wondering how the forks should be be positioned in the triple clamps. I have an 09 TE 250 with three rings on the top of the forks. Does anybody know how many rings up or down they should be positioned in the triple clamps? Thanks
 
It is an adjustment of chasis/steering raising or lowering the fork tubes in the tripple tree- so it depends on your setup, prefferances, and riding conditions. I think mine came stock at 1-1/2 but I run it at the 3rd line. IN terms of chasis/steering geometry raising/lowering the fork tubes works simularily to less/more sag in the rear. (think: chopper stable/jacked up rear turns well <to exagerate>). So to find your happy spot- ensure the sag is correctly for your weight then ride and if you think you'd benifit from quicker turning raise your fork tubes (line 2-3), if you think you'd benifit from more stability lower your fork tubes(line 1-0). (example: 3rd line= better turning, flush/0= more stability)
