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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Kayaba close chamber forks on a wr300?

I rode my biddies 250txc with the Closed Cartridge kayaba's awhile back and loved his front suspension. It was real nice felt really stable and just seemed to work whole lot better than my open cartridge. I ride mostly single track (rocks, roots, Logs, shape edges). I know I could send mine out and get good results but would I be better off to start with the C. C. forks?

Has anyone personal experiencce with the C.C. on the WR?

Thanks in Advance,

Jim

Thanks for the input! I've been holding off pulling the trigger on them. Convert? Shouldn't they bolt right up from a 2014 250txc to my 2014 wr300?

Can't tell ya off the top of my head but just measure the top and bottom outers to yours.

Hmmm...2014 Wr300, don't they come out with the WP 4CS or is the WP CC's?
 
Ooops...apologies mate, pays to read or l need better glasses!!

In that case, in a heartbeat l would swap them over, in fact l would swap the whole front end!!
 
yeah they should swap straight over both 48s, same caliper mounts, axles etc i believe. 2014 te's came with CC forks here in OZ when previous years up to & inc 13MY were OC. wr125=OC cr 125=CC. same bikes basically
 
so now its time to complete the swap. did you get the italians forks swapped to the swede? looks like both bikes are getting a nice bonus!

I've ridden the bike twice now and I couldn't be happier. Immediately I could tell there was a difference.
Not drastic or anything, but a little more stable and compliant especially on the bigger rocks and log jumps.
Here's the first ride on the forks in the\ forest on some busy single track that is part of our regular 60 mile loop.

it sounds like you have an auto clutch, or is it my imagination?
 
A couple of questions for husky jim:
1. Where did you buy the CC forks?
2. What model are they from?
3. Are they non-modified oem; i.e., is the valving stock, or have the internals been modified?
3. How much?

Thanks!
 
I had 2010 cr125 kyb's that were revalved and sprung for me on my 2009 wr250. Everything fit perfect for the cr triple clamps to. I miss them , they worked good.
