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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Looking to refresh the stock fork oil and mess w/the level to provide a bit more bottoming resistance. What type & weight have you all been using and at what level? I'm 200 lbs w/gear, intermediate level rider/racer, mostly woods riding/single track, some mx, and am statisfied w/the stock springs and valving so far, but need more resistance to bottoming for those occasional large takeoffs and subsequent landings. I've got a bunch of leftover ProHonda SS-7 5w for my '01 Honda CR500 w/46mm open cartridge KYBs. Will this oil be ok to use in my wr fork?
 
I run 5WT at 120mm in mine, feels really good to me and I weigh about the same (same forks on 11/310). Not sure about that oil you will be using though, I use motorex.
If it is bottoming at that height, you can always add more oil easily (through the bleeders)
