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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I recently bought a new WR 300 2011 model. Got a great deal
Overall I couldn't be happier its the first time I've owned a new bike and it goes hard! Keeps up easily to my mates big 4 strokes and blows them away through the tight stuff very light and agile! I've fitted bark busters, bash plate, and force radiator guards. The one disappointing thing is the lack of a proper manual the USB stick is ok but where the hell is appendix a ..... It doesn't exist?? The question I have are fairly simple on the front forks you have a top adjuster which says H or S which I imagine is hard or soft??? and a bottom says compression which is rebound??? Also on the rear you have the one at the base of the shock with H or S and then on the gas chamber the 2 adjusters which are the high/ low speed rebound ??? Basically I'm after clarification on what each adjuster doea. May seem like simple things to alot of you but as I said this is the first time I've owned a new bike with this much features! It has the Sachs rear and 48 mm kyb forks. Overall it rides well maybe a bit hard up front. Any advice is appreciated.....
 
Agree about leaving the thumpers behind in the tight single trail.I have '09 with Marzocchis,but think its the same. the rebound is on top & compression on bottom.I leave rebound standard-about middle.If you back off compression ("softer") it'll make the forks a bit plusher. Base of shock is rebound & low&high speed compression is on the reservoir.Basically, compression determines how fast suspension compresses down & rebound how fast it rebounds back.Low speed for slow wallowy dips etc.High speed for sharp fast hits.
 
Cheers... On the rear which is the low and which is the high speed adjuster.... The inner or outer? Thanks for your response mate. Awesum bikes the 300s a few of my mates who ride big bore 4s are seriously looking at the 2 strokes again now!!
 
G'day Mika and welcome to the 3hunge club!! Outer blue circle is high speed for the sharp hits e.g logs and rocks and inner is slow for jumps and g outs. Husqvarnaaustralia.com.au has free pdf downloads. I got mine off there and print out the pages as I need em.
I"m lovin my '10 WR300 ( had it six months) and even took it out for a few laps of the local motocross track...
Mate, Crack the throttle and cover those thumpers with the sweet smell of two smokers :cheers:
 
good to hear another big bore 2T husky on the aussie trails micka! what did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking mate?
 
Mate got mine 3 months ago from Bills bikes in Adelaide was a brand new 2011 model for 9500 on the road. Pd xtra 500 for bash plate, force alloy rad guards and bark busters. I think the 2012s are going for similar $ now. Absolutely love it I reckon the huskys look better than any other bike!! 2 smokers all the way!
