  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Shock rebound damping adjuster

Husqvarna
AA Class
2011 WR 250. Standard rear shock. The shock rebound (lower) adjuster is hidden behind the linkage, surly I don't have to remove the link to make a simple adjustment, or am I missing something here? My manual shows a diagram of a skinny link with the adjuster in full view, not here it aint.
 
What if you compress the suspension, or put it on a stand so the rear tire is off the ground. Is the adjustment available then?
 
have yer buddy sit on the bike a bit and you can sneak a blade in there...or use a strap to compress the rear a scoche....ida sure-a LOVE to slappa the guido thatta thougta dees a one-a! someone really brain farted on that design..wallybean needs to make me a steel link on his magic machine with a hole for a blade in it! im working on a washer ground down to a D sorta thingy then tacked to a blade so i can snake it up in there....stand by!
 
Nope, the nearest I can get to it is with the bike up on a stand, but still not enough to get to it. When sitting on the bike or compressing the suspension it makes it even more difficult to get to.
 
well thats odd...if i compress it a lil i can get to it with a small bladed driver. what a PIA...im tempted to dril a hole in the link. ifit was steel i would. im pinging wally, see if hell make up some customer links. stand by!

Option is;
Next time you service the rear shock or link, measure it up and drill a 1/8" hole in the side of the linkage wishbone/dogbone, in the correct spot and you will be able to make the adjustment without help on the bike stand. Helps to record your settings for future ref.
