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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I have a 1999 husqvarna wr 250 (marzochi 45mm usd forks) with broken front forks , it travells just 1/4 of what it can and just stops (like bottomed out) probably is something inside broken or bent (both forks have the same problem) . Since I am not experienced with the suspension and never serviced one I started looking for replacment . Saw similar forks for sale from TE 610 (doesn't mention the year but probably 2000) and TE 450 2004 .
What should I look for maybe check or measure? Or from what bike I can just swap forks? (wr250 are quite rare in my area).
 
have you owned it for a while?
did this just start?
if you just got it, check the oil level
 
Forks from 125, 250, CR and WR models from 1999 to 2005 you might have to uprate the springs for extra weight from 125 have you screwed the removed fork and screwed the cap off and checked the oil level with the fork leg completely depressed the oil level should be around 80mm from the top
My pal at StormWorks Garage has 5 pairs he has refurbished and need to rebuild I can always do a video of one he rebuilds for you to watch how they go together and what the oil level should be
