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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Howdy I just got an 09 WR165 from A member here Typeone But I just call him Clinton. I took it out for its maiden Voyage and I really like it, Small and Peppy and aggressive. I am typically an Orange rider and have a few of those in the garage, I bought it as second bike Mainly because its hard to keep up on the maintenance on one bike if you are riding it a few times a week, And I hate not riding waiting for parts ect.

My question is the Suspension Its sprung for a 175lb A rider and I am a 205lb C rider Im finding the front to be a little Harsh as I am use to the plush Soft Ktm Open chamber forks. I know the Rebound is the flathead in the top of the forks, So I assume the Compression is on the Bottom of the Fork, I know with KTM you turn the clicker Full Clockwise and count the clicks Back counter clockwise. Is the Husky the same? Feel free to Share any of your settings.

Great forum you guys got here.

All of the 09 WRs I've seen came with twin chamber forks that have the compression adjustment on the top and the rebound below. They are easy to identify because of the red inserts in the top caps. The open chamber forks are all silver gray and do have the compression adjustment on the bottom.
