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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Changing shock oil

Guys, is this something you can do at home or is it a shop job.
If its a home job is their regassing involved. If its a home job how do you do it properly and what is the best shock oil to handle the heat.
Cheers.
 
It's more of a shop job than a home shop job. You will need the right tools, need to know how to properly handle, depressurize and disassemble the shock, reset the reservior piston if it doesn't have a bladder, properly bleed all the air out of the system and you will need a special bleeder and nitrogen to ensure proper re-pressurization. You could probably do it all and then have a shop put in the nitrogen. I have rebuilt and revalved Kayaba shocks and I rebuilt the WP that blew its brains out on my KTM, but I haven't tackled the Sachs on my TE yet. I have enough bikes that need that sort of maintainance that I keep a nitrogen tank and T-bleeder gauge on hand. I just use Honda brand shock oil in all of my bikes.
