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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New TXC310 break in suggestions?

Your local guy should be fine with it but of course I vote for zip-ty since they sponsor the forum ;). Glad you enjoyed the other aspects of the bike.

Well.......rode TXC 1 lap and parked her. Suspension was just too harsh and unsettled, especially forks. Course started in silty/sandy tight tree section. Lots of braking bumps and whoops. Transitioned into a sand wash. First set of whoops in sand wash bike knifed and down I went. Course then tuned into a long silty and slick grass track. Forks were beating me and front end was all over the place at the higher speeds. Missed my Scott's Damper!! Bright spots were the motor and light feeling of bike. Motor was simply sweet!! After lap 1, I switched to my WR as I'm not chasing points. WR felt heavier and slower handling but I had confidence in the suspension. Also having the Damper on made the braking bumps and sand wash a lot easier. Wish I could have ridden the 310 longer but did not have confidence in the suspension to push it. Tuesday Ill pull suspension off and send it out to get revalved. I think I need a 6.0 or 6.4 spring in rear and .48's in front?? I'm 6'4" and 195 lbs or so. Trying to decide whether to send to ZipTy or my regular local guy. He's done great wok on my other bikes. Another ride report after I get suspension working for me.

I'm 6'1" and 210 and I have a 6.4 spring in the rear and .48's in the forks on my 2012 TE310 and they work well for me.
