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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

More Noob Fork Questions

Sorry to be a pest, and thank you for all the information already shared regarding changing out the fork springs on my 2012 TE310, but I have a couple more questions. Is it possible to drain the oil out of the forks without removing them from the bike and disassembling them? Also, when you measure the oil volume, I'm assuming that if the oil level is supposed to be 100mm, then that means the oil level is 100mm below the top of the fork with the springs removed and the fork collapsed? Is that right? Thanks.
 
You could probably get the top caps off and yank the springs without pulling the forks. But flipping the whole bike over to drain them is probably more work than just pulling them off. :D

You are correct on how you measure the oil level.
