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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

First ride on my bike. And
front forks will not compress more than an inch maybe two
Went for a ride and it felt a bit stiff - but seemed ok
got to the end of the ride and noticed there was no movement at front hardly at all
Any ideas what it could be?
Closed chamber 50 mm marzcochis
 
Phew! I think I've found the issue
I took the front wheel off and the forks seems to move ok
With the wheel on there is around three inches travel when I push down
When I tighten the wheel bolt on right side only the forks lock up
I think it's has something to do with the brake guard spacer - looks wider than my other bikes spacer

Its not your normal alignment issue - I havent tightened up the other fork side
the forks will not compress -
the alignment issue must be the spacer pushing out fork I guess
It looks fine -
I believe the Motorsportz guard and spacer came off a 450 - maybe thats the issue - different spacers

Check the width of the Motosportz spacer against the stock spacer I had to get mine turned down to the stock spacer width. Not Motosportz fault as I had got my disk guard for free.
 
Husqvarna has only used 2 front wheel spacers over the last 12 years. I would compare the one on the rotor guard to the one you removed. The bikes with the 45mm forks used a narrower spacer than the bikes with 50mm forks.

Thanks Mike - The previous owner put the guard on - it was off a TE 450 2008 - so I would have thought they were both 50mm forks.
He is looking for the spacer but I dont think I will have much luck .

My 08 125 has a smaller spacer than what the guard spacer is.

I think it must be the right size

Ive tightened right fork pinch bolts prior to snugging up the axle bolt and thats fixed the issue
