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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anybody else having problems with these forks? Bike dances around until you get on the gas a little.. Looks like I'll be having the suspension done sooner than I thought...
 
Yup I went all the way in to the compression and three clicks on the rebound still dances around.. Gonna play around with the clickers a little more but I know I will do the suspension.. had my YZ done by Pro Pilot and it was night and day!!
 
If you turned your compressions clickers, "all the way in", you stiffened it up. They should be turned out or counterclockwise, too soften.
 
I only have about 10-12 hrs on my 09 wr300. If you're talking about the 2010 model, it has totally different forks so never mind.

on the 09, the 50mm shivers work well for me for trailriding, but they are a little soft for giant sand whoops. I'm running stock settings on compression, +1 on rebound, and i added 20cc of oil to each leg to try to ramp up the progression on big hits. I tried a couple more clicks of compression damping but then they started to get unacceptably harsh on small square-edged rocks and things.

I'll need to have them revalved if I want to seriously race that bike, but for rocky technical desert trails, ridden fairly aggressively, it's better than any other stock bike I've owned.
