  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 was just wondering if people had any thoughts as to why most of the 2010's bikes got KYB's except the te310? I'm reading that the 250's did and the 450's did but not on the 310's. do you suppose they are just using up old parts?

Good question, and I don't have the answer, but the current set up's a winning combination in my opinion. Proven and dependable. I'd be bumbed to find the KYB's work a ton better having just plunked down some real coin on a 2009! I'm sure it's a combination of things though and inventory is a safe bet to be one of the reasons. You can pretty much build a 2007 KTM out of parts from the mid 90's! I know.. Everyone does it, and it makes sense why.
 
My bet is that they had a stock of Zokes leftover in the bins and one MY's production on the 310 will get the inventory down.
 
The Zokes they have in surplus inventory have to go somewhere? They are hoping the TE310 will sell on it's own merit of a unique size/cc offering and that lack of the newer suspension will not be as much of a factor. Also the it looks like the new generation 250's will not be very conducive to big bore kits in order to be anything bigger then 250's. So if you want more then 250 your choices are limited.
 
i was told they did not want to sever ties with marzocchi,rather keep two sources.team zip ty says they will continue to use the marzocchi forks on their 2010 race team bikes.dan

After Les with LT-Racing did my Marzocchis I can't imagine better forks. Everyone who rode my bike liked them as well.

Bobbys explanation sounds the most likely to me.
