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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Any recomendations on where to send my suspension. My WR250 forks are too harsh in the roots/rocks. I have tried softening the initial stroke by putting lighter oil in but there was little change.

Well, we'll see. Decided to send mine out on Monday to Les after reading that "other" thread on how you guy's liked his work. Has me fired up and can't wait....

One thing, when you get it back do not be afraid to play with the clickers. I have found Les' work makes the bike have a much wider range of adjustment and it is possible to make it very soft to very stiff which I think is cool but you do have to realize you need to tune it to what you want / are doing. Don't just ride the bike and say it doesn't work 100% right and never touch the clickers like my friend does, drives me nuts. If your bike was idling at 4000 RPM would you not turn it down ASAP? So if your suspension is not working right ADJUST IT. This rant was not for you, its for...(you know who you are.)
 
I know this is dependant on his(LT) workload but what would you say is the turn around time? Not ready to do it just yet, but maybe later this year.
Thx

Is that what those fancy looking little screws were on each end? :eek:
j/k... I ride with some folks like that too.
I had an issue with a leaky seal so I figured.....why not!
Besides, now I will have an extra set of seals in case I need them ;);)
 
Thanks for the info. I just got off the phone with Les and I am going to send my suspension his way. I am in Alberta but the cost of extra shipping doesnt bother me aslong as my suspension works like everyone says it will.

You will have the best suspended bike, dare I say, on the planet.

I took an 05 YZ suspension to Les and honestly told him what my riding level was, weight, and type of terrain that I was riding and he then transformed a mediocre suspension into a magic carpet ride.
Just got my TXC suspension back from him and in 2 days of testing I again can attest to the fact that the guy flat knows what a rider needs in a suspension and how to make it happen. Absolutely no compromise in his work, it works great in all of my applications.
The package is almost complete, Best Bike (Husky), Best protection (Motosportz), Best suspension (LTR) Now it's up to the rider.

Very important to any suspension revalve.
