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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc '09 WR125 suspension questions

Hey everyone. I'm considering buying an 09 WR125 and was wondering about the availability of springs for my weight (about 210). I rode 125's quite a bit in the 70s and 80s so I'm pretty confident I'll like the bike, but I'm curious if anyone else here with my level of "fluffyness" :) has worked out the suspension.

Oh FWIW, ex motocrosser now trials rider that rides fast rocky single track for training................if that helps

Thanks in advance

The 09 came with the twin chambers, if you recall, they were listed in the brochure as coming with the single chamber ones so the brochure/manual data lists the WR as much lighter when indeed it comes with heavier spring rates than listed. (.44 fork and 5.2 shock)
Drew Smith at WER noticed this when I sent my new 09 leftover to him for the waving of his "magic wand".
I am much lighter than 210 and we (he) switched to .40 and 5.0. also added a bladder kit to the rear which replaced the piston (which has large O ring for sealing which does have a small amount of stichion by design). Even though new and just having "new fork stcikys" , they feel sooo much better. I am 180 and the stock springs were wayy to big for me. BTW single track with rocks and roots. I also got his steering dampener too and love it.

He has what springs you will need I would guess.
BTW he also owns an 09 WR 125 himself so he knows the bike for sure.
