• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 find the new huskys, like the KTM semi twitchy and not neutral handling. You might want a steering damper to calm it down. Or you might just love it as is. Sorting the forks will help a lot too.

I added my shelved GPR....but the jury is not out on it, the front felt sluggish once again (why I removed it from my 450 and never put it on either 310) What I did do also was to take Tys suggestion "On 2 strokes I like to run @ 25MM static sag" So I went there to load the front more, I just did too many changes to nail down whats doing what.....
 
GPR removed. bars moved to full forward position added spacers to my computer to push a little more forward. forks are on second line projected.
 
Thanks Tim. i went right down with the intention to get a feel in the really tight twisty stuff. I was at 1st ring, most likely I will be back to first or to as you suggested flush top.

. That's what I'm hoping for! I've been working like a slave and stress myself to much and I'm to high strung for a guy my age! I tried to stay away as I'm a KTM hater. But per say some one has to carry the crown or torch per say and this was my birthday present to myself. Yea 9000k with accesories . 50 years young! A wise old guy once told me we don't usually regret what we did in life we regret what we didn't do! Its paid for and I worked hard for it. No I don't care how you put it I won't own a pumpkin but I'll ride the husky and I am hoping it works out well! I'm excited. I'm taking a few days off and if I have to sleep in my truck at Chadwick and ride by myself who gives a crap. I'm alive. Better off then many and one thing is for sure I'll be having a good time!!!
 
If u show up on a weekend this time of year there will be someone to ride with be warned its in the 30s give me a call if you need info or support 417 522 5199
 
I also just checked in yea, Michelin makes a an M16 (90/100-21) designed for use in only one of their tires the HP4 series starcross hard terrain tire.
I spoke with ZipTy it seems that they have a line on those and they are on order.
Hopefully no more mousse cutting and stuffing.
Last time I checked the chart the M15 (90/90-21) was the only do all 21in mousse in the catalog

I also now believe that Golden Tyre does make a "fatty"" sized mousse to fit their bigger sized front tires
 
The next and greatest would be in a form like spray foam insulation so would negate the need to mount the mousse/tire, only to remove it. Use the valve hole in the rim to prelube the casing and then with a suitable pressure sensitive adapter, inject the liquid mousse.

Which Shark wants to bite on this grand idea?
 
That idea has been floating around for a long time, guess someone needs to find a material that will do that.
 
yes works good for insulation, put it in your tire and get back to me. :) I have heard it all, tennis balls, pool noodles, toy footballs. Nothing seems to work.
 
Not tennis balls, tofu, urea formaldehyde, etc... Butyl, nitrogen, etc. Probably a curing and chemical, control issue. Tire curing inside a tire. Tinken will invent the right formulations
