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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

:applause::)Another satisfied customer LT-Racing!:thumbsup: Forks as they are (Les start set up) set at ring 2 mark on triple clamp projection are very very very good . I will need to do some personal rear set up but the rear feels as good as ever ( I don't feel as much in the shock as I do with the forks).
Again the LT-Racing Marzoke Forks are super good as set up by Les!!!
And with some personal set up in the rear things are looking very good for old slow(er) guys. I always use small sag numbers so that will center around my personal set up.
Note: Les reported that my forks (as is) from OEM were completely sound internally, with nothing loose at all.
We rode in rainy 45 deg temps on very tight single track with lots of loose sandy turns and at angry good trail speed on the connecting trails, R
 
I have to say that out of all the bikes that rode this weekend, everyone thought my suspenders were the best, suspension by Les..
 
Norm Kouba (Kouba Link) knew me and my riding, did great work for me in the past on an XR and my Suzuki's, but I felt not so comfortable w/Husky's, so after reading many many posts, you guys have convinced me.

After the holidays, my plan is to contact LTR, send my forks/shock off for a complete rework, and find out if you guys are lying to me.
 
Les is the Guru of Husky suspension:thumbsup::thumbsup::

He transformed my bike from a P-36 inot a P47D ground attack fighter.

OK I think I going to bite the bullet and have my suspension tuned for my fat a$$.
What is this going to cost me ?

Call Les - lt-racing.com as it will vary depending on springs and such. He is very reasonable and less than most.

instead of bush whacking and slower single track we hit more flowing single track with lots of long steep hills and really ugly rocky climbs and descents,,,,,I have not even played with the setting yet until I really know how they feel for me,,,but so far I have nothing but applause,,,again, especially in the front end where she sticks to the ground like glue and inspires real confidence in cornering. R
(tires used are Mich M12F(great 4me) AC10R(fair to good 4 me) at the moment)
back out tommorrow for more rain soaked ground (rare for here)****************************************

thats up to Les but mine ( two years ago) was just under 5 bills ..... including new springs and revalve....
i'm 6ft 240
 
UPDATE:
Ok, I did it. After providing detail about me and my riding, sent my forks/shock to Les and let him do it all. Revalve, heavier springs, add air bleeders, and his correctly done 1" lowering.......a redo of what (as I supected) turned out to be incorrectly done, previous claimed 1.5" lowering I had someone else do and probably whined about.

Put it all put back on, verified/adjusted sag and finally took bike out to one of our high desert areas for quick (cold) test ride on Saturday.
Got a good mix of open 4whlr size trail w/varied whoops, winding higher speed sand washes, and some tight rocky single track trail.
Overall much better action, handling and control.....all at a manageable seat height I originally wanted

I'm a believer, you guys told me the truth, he does great work and I'm a happy camper :ride:
 
Thank you.

I may have one problem now......my riding buddies know it's done, so no more excuses, can't blame the suspension anymore for my mistakes.
 
Holler at Rick at www.motocd.com. He knows Marzocchi and knows the mid-valve is the culprit. He's experimented on my WR250's 50mm's enough to figure it out by now. Front/rear resprung AND revalved for $300. It's tested and trued. You'll be pleased. :)
 
After doing his thing with my 610 suspension, the bike is now what it is supposed to be and better.
He has my 450 stuff right now and I can hardly wait.
 
At the end of the 2008 racing season as far as i know there was only ONE Husky
with a AMA #1 plate on it for the 2009 season .That little Husky was a Bone Stock
2008 Husky 125 which had to run in the open class all year .What suspention did it have

FAST BY FERRICCI FBF That is where i go

Plus what bike is leading the AMA National Hare and Hound in the regular 125 expert class after 2 rounds for the 2009 year Another bone stock Husky 125 with FBF suspention Only problem is it is a 2006 bike on its 4 th year of desert racing so it receives no Husky Bucks .
After 4 years of racing Huskys both 2 and 4 strokes my FBF suspention set up has
work great .Until some one on a Husky in the classes i race can beat me with some one elses set up i will stay where i get a winning set up

While your results are impressive and your loyalty to FBF great I bet you would have done just as good if Les did your bike. There are a lot of good shops, LTR, ACE, FBF, Halls dude. This thread "Les is more" was started to thank Les.
