84 WR/AE, how far up in the triples?

Hey All,
I am doing a fork swap with my AE and was wondering how far up in the triples are the stock forks typically run to get it to behave nicely in the woods?

I included WR's since they are the same.

From the owner's handbook. Not sure it is the information you need !

This is the reason I ask...... This is taken from the 84' WR brochure, my AE brochure looks the same. I guess I could extrapolate it.

The safest thing to do is remove the fork springs and let the front-end drop onto the wheel.
Where the fender clears the wheel by 1" is probably a safe limit.
Anywhere from there to flush with the top triple clamps is your range of adjustment.
The more you drop the front-end the quicker the bike will steer, but you'll loose straight line stability.
The opposite is also true.
If you raise the front-end you'll increase straight-line stability, but the bike will not steer as quickly.
Anything in between is your personal preference.

Good idea. I'll give that a shot.

Yes Yes Yes. This is a critical safety test, especially on the Husky because the front wheel gets pretty close to both the fender and the frame down tube. Don't guess... measure! It could literally save your life. Having said that, I like to run the front end as low as possible (forks up in the tubes as far as possible while still getting clearance) to help sharpen up the otherwise slow steering of the Husky's long rake frame.

I run longer 38 mm forks on my 1979 YZ 125 and have them positioned as low as I dare in the yokes (triples). I took the springs out to set them up. I have heard the tyre briefly touch the front guard once or twice when I have had a big front wheel landing, but never has it caused any problems. I suppose there could be a problem if the conditions were really claggy or muddy but to be honest I don't go fast enough in those conditions to ever have the front wheel get close to the guard!
