• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 seals cost

That is John Curea's hand in that pic taken at his shop in PA Fall 2007. That is actually a ktm in the pic cut he said my zooks were set up the same.

My bike is a 2006 TE250 which I believe are single chamber design, it sounds like you may have the dual chamber?

What I know for sure is that after he re-did the suspension I "made a really bad riding error" which should have put me in the hospital (again) but the forks soaked everything right up... I'm sure the other shops do good work too.
 
Nah, I have a standard cartridge just like you. I’m sure John’s very good. I’m just a hack.

With the really small base valve ports the MV design may be more important. RT converts MV’s to check plates in most of their kits, but they run much bigger base ports.

The check on the base is mainly for directional flow control, allowing the cartridge to refill on the rebound stroke. The valve in your picture really does the rebound work.

So, in a nutshell, the static valve takes care of compression, free flowing on rebound, and the dynamic valve does rebound, allowing free flow on compression.

Personally, I tend to like converting MV’s to checks on woods forks. I’ll just have to play around with them to see what I like.
 
i have a 05 TE450 and my forks are leaking, i want to change the seals but i dont know if my forks uses 45mm or 50mm seals. i have stock suspensions. sorry my english is not to good. im from dominican republic and over here the original seals cost around US145. so i want to order that online.

att... all there has been some development done with husky forks it is a problem with leaking fork seals when the forks are run all the way down in the triples giving more flex on the sliding fork tubes witch creates a gap an then leaks but this is only one of the problems with forks ps... still have original seals and done 3,000km
