  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Sachs rebound adjusment

Real bikes are right side drive
So I can't be the only one with a wr300/Sachs rear shock that has the adjuster directly behind the Linkage right? Haven't figured a good way to adjust on the fly while riding. Sucks detaching the linkage every time
 
Update: rebound is still not accessible while Linkage is assembled. It's pretty good where it's at I'd just like to log my suspension settings for the type of terrain I'm riding

Your shock will have to be compressed slightly to reach the adjuster. Just set the bike upright and not supported by the side stand. If your spring is the right one and you have the sag set correctly you should be able to access the adjuster screw.
 
I see yours is on the left I'll have to turn mine but if I remember correctly mine was slightly above the Linkage bar and when compressed it was even more centered behind the linkage. If I switch it to the other side it will still be in the same height in the way as the Linkage is parallel on each side? I dunno I'll get a picture tonight

Mine may have been on the other side to begin with, but during shock maintenance, I probably turned it around, so that I could adjust it on the same side my kickstand was on, just for ease of access. On my 07 TE450, the shock can only go in one way because of a bevel on the clevis and the way the linkage is shaped, but on the WR, it can be on either side.
 
Excuse the dirt I'm doin a complete tare down to clean after the 98mile hammer run but it does look like after I spin it I should have better access, thanks just a couple kinks to work out and this bike will be butter:thumbsup:
 
Your shock is the correct orientation you have to drop off the stand stand on the opposite side of the adjuster lean the bike against your thighs bend over the bike do you can see the shock linkage and compress the suspension until you can get your screwdriver in, then you can turn away until you’re hearts content but of a pain but once you have the knack it’s relatively easy
