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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all

I have a little isssue with the front end, it seem to bounce off stuff rather than flow over it

Does this mean i need to turn the rebound clockwise 2 click to slow it down??:excuseme:
 
if it's like my 09 300, it means you need to hit stuff harder, or else get the forks revalved. Mine worked well in rocks and roots at normal trail speeds, but got a bit overwhelmed in big sand whoops at race speeds.

I think i went 1 higher on rebound front and rear, and that helped a little.
 
You sure it's not deflecting?

If it's deflection then you need to open the compression adjuster. It's basically caused by hydraulic lock.
 
Suspension setup is critical and mysterious to many. Theres a lot going on from sag settings, to fork settings, to spring rates and damping adjustments. Real hard to diagnose here on the internet. I recommend you go tot he factory settings and then work from there. make sure your springs are right weight for you and set the sag.then play with the damping adjustments. Thumpertalk has a great suspension forum and lots of good info. Might ask there as well. It really is theory and setup. the suspension system can be the single biggest gain you can make on a bike performance and safety wise. Very important to take the time and learn what each adjuster and circuit does and then apply this in a testing area to document real world changes. Learn and take your time. It makes all the difference in the world.

Try turning the compression to full soft and starting there.

You've either got your compression way too soft and its blowing through the stroke....or you have the compression to far turned in and like Motorhead said causing a hydraulic lock....

best to start with the compression all the way out.....then turn it in two or three clicks at a time till it feels better....

also make sure you balance that adjustment with making sure the rebound adj. is also turned an appropriate amount....

your compression and rebound should be within 3 to 5 clicks of eachother....

sometimes you'd be amazed at backing off the compression will actually make it harsh....and feeding in a bit(harder) of adjustment at a time they will actually feel softer to a point....
