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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE450 MX and Enduro suspension adjustment

Hi all. I have a 2008 TE450. When I take my son to the local Moto park he tends to spend most of his time on the MX tracks, so I've been riding the TE on the MX tracks as well. I'm a decent rider on the enduro trails but I've never done much MX riding. I'm after some advice on suspension settings for MX.

Firstly is there enough range of adjustment to get a decent setup for both MX and Enduro riding?

For MX, I've been increasing the damping on all the clickers, but I'm guessing I probably don't need as much extra damping on the high speed compression for the rear shock?

I know it's not the ideal bike for riding MX but I've been getting better at jumping and am really enjoying it now. I still suck on the whoops but can clear some of the easier table tops and some doubles. Need to work on corner entry but I must be doing ok from mid corner as the fast guys that overtake me going into a corner don't get away too quickly once they are past (but kick my arse on corner entry into the next corner and leave me for dead on the big table tops lol).

Thanks in advance :)
