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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Opinion - Do you think shop will cover this?

Alright, So I took my 2009 TE250 in because my left fork was leaking, after not even having 250 miles on the bike. I payed for all the labor and parts, and they gave it back to me. That was about a month ago. Lo and behold, the same exact fork is leaking oil again! I haven't even put on 40 miles since the repair! You think they'll fix it again for free? Oh and it's Tri-County powersports in Southern California.
 
Usually, or at least in the old days, there would be a little disclaimer at the bottom of your work order that would tell you something about the guaranty of the the shops workmanship. It usually consisted of a days and/or miles agreement. Don't know if they still do that anymore.:excuseme: At least inquire. I had a friend who took their bike to a local Husqvarna dealership for a fork seal and 200 bucks later the seal blew within 5 miles of riding. Needless to say, the dealer redid the seal for free. 40 miles doesn't sound like too many miles to me.
 
did they r&r your fork? If you did the r&r they cannot possibly be held accountable, unless they actually have performed a faulty service (unlikely if it did not leak from the start).
If you brought them the bike and they did the complete service then they have at least some responsibility and perhaps all the resposibility if the service was done incorrectly.

Make extra sure you have set the forks properly with correct torque, proper alignment and and bled of air pressure per owners manual bleed recommendation, misalignment is the number one culprit for binding and uneven wear of the internal bushings and the seals.
Also speak with them and ask about another repair and give the best report of the sequence of events failure. Best of luck
 
Honestly, not sure what r&r stands for, but all I was did was bring them my bike, say "hey this is leaking can you fix this man?" and they did and charged me like $200 to do it. I personally never TOUCHED the forks. All work on the forks is by them. I brought them my bike whole.
 
They should fix it. While they are at it they should look for a burr on your form tube that may be causeing the leak.
