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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shock service on the 630?

Just curious if anybody has done a shock service (fluid change, seals, maybe bushing) on the TE 630.

I'm looking at the manual for the TE 630, and the following caught my eye in the disassembly section:

Keep the shock absorber in the vice taking in nearly vertical position. If
you drain the oil, you will need to replace the reservoir floating piston.
Pour the oil into a clean pan and leave it to settle.

Do they mean 'replace' as in 'put it back', or do they mean 'it is screwed up, you need a new one'?
From this I assume the TE630 has a floating piston and not a diaphragm, so it really needs the same bleeding procedure you use on KTM shocks (I'm not sure I buy the 'Push the floating piston quickly down to reservoir bottom...' part)
