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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

5Wt sounds good! Only 2.5 wt go to after this .... my manual says 7.5wt front, 2.5wt rear ...

U can check UR front sag easily... I wish I had the number for a fully extended fork but I lost my HD and all my photos so I don't know for sure ... ... It was something like 11.75" .... U can take your sag reading from that ... Mine is probably only about an 1" (25mm) ... maybe too little but OK 4 now :0) ... I read where the number for sag on the front is 35mm +- 10mm ...

I was riding too far down in the stroke initially so I just moved the clip down I think and jacked my forks up in the stroke ... This is an easy change and if you don't move the clip too far, U can change it without even draining the oil out of the outer chambers ...

Good luck on the race and kick some butt$ but be safe :banana:

Here is a thread where the spring-rates \ pre-load are explained to some degree...It s sort of cool because it gives a method to set the pre-load that determines if your current spring rate is correct :0 )

You must have had a seal leak to cause the un-even amounts of fluids .... These are great forks for the shade tree tuner ... many options here we can do on our own ...

I was using 5wt in both chambers ... with the outer having 280ML .... I lowered the amount to 260ML and the forks got alot plusher ... I'm gonna try to remove another 10ML later and see if they will get even better ...

I'm about 140LBs before riding gear ... so I'm a little lighter than you so the 270ML might be a good starting point ...

The pre-load can be set while you are there also ... Mine is set in slot 8 from the top ... I'm riding pretty high in the beginning of the stroke ...

Also, the air needs to be removed from the inner chambers ... This link shows how to check for the air and remove it ... if it is in there, it needs to come out ...

ray ray,

His bike has the KYB's, single chamber, no pre-load adjustment (just a spring spacer), they have always recommended 5wt in those forks opposed to the 7.5wt in ours.

I agree the 50mm twin chamber zokes are the easiest forks I have ever worked on. :applause:
