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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi guys just after a bit of info on what oil hight works best on the kyb forks on the 2010 te250 with kyb forks have changed my fork oil and replaced it with 5w fork oil

manual said 140mm down from the top of the fork tube is this ok or is there a somthing better????????

any info would be great

thanks

I normally set that type fork at about 125mm down, but if it was working OK for you then try the 140mm. You'll have more bottoming resistance at 125mm and notice it's progressively firmer in the last 1/3 of the travel.
 
was just looking at the kyb fork spec's in the big husky manual and thay say 100mm ....what whould this be like ......note this bike is not used on a mx track's....which would be a better range 140mm or 100mm???
 
I don't think you'll to run that high on the 250. I think if you are just riding woods type stuff, then the 140 to 125 range will be fine. With the 100 I think you'll be disappointed in the overall action of the forks over the roots and rocks. But, everybody's different and you may really like it. The big bikes weigh about 50# more than the X-light 250's, and most of that is toward the front.

I've found most guys like about 125mm in the woods, unless they're running soft springs and are too tight to replace them. Then they'll try to compermise by running the oil level higher, but you'll trading off some plushness.
