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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Venting forks TXC250

Sorry for all the questions. I understand previous comments made about the owners manual now. I'll need to get a service manual.

This is probably obvious but just want to make sure I do the right thing. On the top of the forks there is a small rubber cap. I pop that out, and with the front forks unloaded I vent the front forks with the shrader like valve under the rubber cap. Correct?
 
If you mean by 'unloaded' on a bike stand.... No bleed them with both wheels on the ground and you off the bike. You can also bleed them during your ride...just make sure you're stopped first.:D
Hope that helps ya.

Thanks. Problem with getting a new bike is you have to relearn all the details. On my KTM the manual recommended placing the bike (KTM) on a stand with the front wheel off the ground to vent the breathers.
 
I don't know what the manual says for a new TXC.:excuseme:
I'm just going by what Les from LT Racing told me from doing my forks.
Here's a good read for ya from his web site..:thumbsup:

Suspension Topics...middle of the page talks about Equalize the air pressure.
