  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 KYB Oil Height

Just about ready to finish up a fork service, but I can't find the oil height anywhere. My service manual has the info for the Marzocci forks only :(.

Does anyone know what the recommended height is for the open chamber KYB's?
 
You can run anywhere from about 150mm to 80mm in the OC KYB. I normally set them about 125mm, but some faster guys like 100mm.
 
i run about 110mm for light springs up to .46 then 115-120 for heavier than that based on feedback.

but- if you know your set-up and have a lot of info on where you ride the most by all mean CALL Zipty for some good dope!
 
Thanks. I set them at 95mm and installed .44 springs. I think the springs might still be a bit light, but the extra oil might help stop some of the bottoming. We will see if the snow ever melts.

These forks are very easy to work on, so easy to go back in if I need to.
