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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE/TC TX300 rear deflecting off of rocks

I'm trying to figure out what's causing my bike's rear tire to deflect a lot (meaning it shoots me far off course). I have a GT216X w/tubliss @ 5 - 6 psi on the rear and that tire never deflected like this on my WR300. So I'm guessing it's suspension. Should I be looking at Compression or Rebound? I'm 220lbs without gear, and have a 5.8 spring on the rear, factory clicker settings.

I also have a set of Fastway EVO Airs on the way so I can run them in the low position, which should get my weight a little further back -- which I do on most of my bikes since I'm 6'1" and usually a little cramped in the cockpit.

I'm starting to loose confidence when charging gnarly inclines as I never know when I'm going to get kicked in the wrong direction and go flying off the trail.

Im assuming so but lets just get this question out of the way, have you set your sag?

The dealer helped me set it the day I bought the bike. But I didn't see the measurements. So now that there's some hours on the spring I need to check the measurement myself.
 
Set sag again mine changed after break in and turn in or turn counterclockwise your hi speed compression on rear shock 1/4 to 1/2 turn. Might need to add a couple clicks more low speed compression after. Seemed to help mine from kicking back end around as much in rough stuff out back. When I first got mine going over logs the back end was kicking hard now after break in and set up works really good.
 
Must have something to do with how light the bike is. This sucker is really light, you can feel it when riding and loading and stuff.
 
had the same issue with the 2017 TE250 I am riding. First thing is make sure you have the correct spring rates for your weight. Then if deflecting try less low speed compression damping and more rebound. Try 1-2 clicks at a time as these seem pretty sensitive to adjustments. The less compression will allow the rear so soak up the hits without deflecting and the more rebound will help it not return so quick and kick the rear. Do one at a time and get a feel for it. Start with a few clicks softer compression and see what that gets you. There are many things at play so don't over do and and also remember where you started so you have a reference base point to go back to. It's pretty amazing what you can do with factory clickers these days.
 
Thanks guys! I've been so stoked to ride the thing, I haven't wanted to spend any time tweaking. I still need to find the best air pressure for the forks and front/rear clickers. Plus I need to mess with the Lectron to get it tuned. I'll devote this weekend to dialing in.
 
My Husky is a 2015. I had to go to a 6.0 spring and I weight the same. When I had the suspension redone, I told them I would be racing enduros but it was sent back to stiff. The bike was all over the place. After the second redo, it works perfect. No wondering when hitting the rock here in AZ.
 
Sag needs to be checked regularly. Especially on a new bike after break in. I have same bike and it is amazing no issues.
