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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fork Air Bleeder Screw Size

C Class
Anyone know what size the screw for the front forks air bleeders? I see two sizes for the Tusk bleeders 4 x 0.7 and 5 x 0.8 on RM MC/ATV site.

Thanks.
 
for Marzacchi forks use: M4 X 0.07
(these are the same as 43 and 48mm KTM forks or <WP> that do not have external preload adjustment) so there are many many options.
STR make the shortest ones which are nice. I have these which are a little taller. (ALSO>>>I am not sure on Marzacchi's if dual cartridge uses the same bleeder as single cartridge or "open"- > I have open 50s- and am unable to verify that the above info is correct for dual cartidge )

For KYB forks use: M5 X 0.8

:thumbsup:
 
Thanks for the info, I should have said I have the 2010 TE450 with the KYB forks.

I ordered the 5 x 0.8 and they are the correct size.
