Husky Suspension

Husky,blgrassick: Id be questioning the tuners mod on the mid valve as it sounds like he went to a 2 stage mid valve and could possibly have made your forks softer in the process, stages can suck esp on mid valves that float, and much rather favor a straight mid valve for durability and consistency issue .I always thought cartridge seal loose but dont think they leak when theres downward pressure on shaft. Youd rather see changes more on the base valve, also much easier espescially for a larger guy like yourself and espescially if not setting up for rocky enduro terrain also much easier to go back in and experiment.Preload or spring it a bit firmer if youre ride height is not right and then Tweak further maybe like 46 springs with some preload on front forks and a 5.4 on rear then you wont have to run so much preload on rear spring.Spring the bike properly first If you do work to the shock you should have the shaft /clevis threads loctited real good as Ive seen them come loose and come apart more than once or twice on those brand shocks. If youve got the forks off and are greasing the steering head bearings you might want to check if they still put a slit in the triple clamps center post/shaft. Husky used to put it there so water would evaporate if caught in the frame. butr what sometimes happens is the fuel and water get down into the center and go through the slit and corrode your bottom steering bearing in no time flat . Bearings and seals are like $60 . We were using large electrical shrink wrap or just wrapping real well with electrical tape then drilling and tapping a grease fitting on the frame and lubing with a grease gun . Maybe you alrready know this if youve had other current Huskys. Good Luck

Maybe you could order some sprigs from Husky or another vendor . Husky probablyuses striffer fronts in the big thumpers maybe?
