• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 put this in "common topics" since my comments aren't 2 stroke specific. First I'm liking this bike more every time that I ride it. However, I'm still a little new to serious dirt riding and I am having a lot to learn. Riding mostly tight woods here in VA, I found the stock suspension set up to really firm. As I have ridden it more, about four or five hours so far, the rear was starting to feel pretty good, but the front was as hard as my mountain bike! Backing the clickers out all the way on both rebound and compression seemed to help some but I was still having a lot of deflection on every little rock and root that I could find. After contacting a couple of shops, I found Allen Shaffer of http://www.asr-4suspension.com/home. I liked the idea of taking my whole bike, complete with rider to someone who is familiar with the area and the type of riding that I do. His recommendation was to re-valve my forks, while keeping the stock springs. He talked me out of lowering it for now. I just spent an hour on some rugged, rutted single track and it feels a lot better! I'm already feeling a lot more confident. and I am able to be a lot more aggressive over rough stuff while the bike feels much more planted. :thumbsup: I'm looking forward to having more time on the bike, but I ran out of day time today.
 
I sent mine to Les at LTR and he was saying that even after 20 hours of riding they weren't close to broken in yet. Very tight tolerances. I am glad you like yours more now and I think that they will get even more plush as they break in. I have about 150 miles on my LTR suspension and I am loving it. Freaking fantastic.

I would have argued with you about spending money on your forks. Send them away to have them worked on. Come on who would do that....
Well... :busted: I did and buy far the best money I've spent on my bike yet.
 
David quit getting a late start and you'll have more time to ride LOL. Sorry I couldn't make it to the club today but happy to hear your bike is working for ya. You going to be at the club next Sat for the Brad Bakken training session?
