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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hello

guys bear with me, i don't know much about how to tweak the suspension so I'm learning but.......

on my 08 TE450 i turned the compression and rebound screws out a good bit and the inner screw puked just a little bit of oil. it is not continually weeping but I was wondering if this is normal? if oil came out, it stands to reason that air could be getting in like on the front forks, right?

also, should the inner screw turn WITH the outer dial? the user manual says to reset them to factory settings, you go clockwise all the way in then run them out x number of clicks but the inner set screw spins with the outer dial. is that normal, too? if so, which one do :excuseme:i adjust first?

thanks
 
my high speed adjuster turns with the outer but doesn't seem to change the number of clicks out from full in:eek::excuseme:
had a very small amount of weeping on outer dial after first adjustment:excuseme:
 
Yes, the inner screw( low speed comp) will turn as you turn the outer(high speed comp) wheel on the shock. That is normal. It doesn't matter which one you adjust first. You just tune each compression circuit to suit your preference/terrain/handling issues.
One thing to note, you will have to adjust your rebound accordingly as you work the comp clickers.
As for the weeping oil, I haven't experienced that before. Maybe someone else has input on that.
