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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 45mm Zokes Spring Rates

Rechecked the sag front and rear. I put lube on the forks, dressed in my gear, sweated my balls off, bounced the forks and checked them three times. Here's the results.

Rear- static-32
rider-103
Best I can do.

Front- static-32
rider-79
Static is off from the 14% recommendation. Rider just a tad high above the 25% recommendation. Oil level is at 125mm. Were do I go from here?
 
Don't go buying springs until you get yours tested. Mine were "0.42" from the factory, but in reality they measured 0.44 in one side and 0.45 in the other. I sent all my sag numbers to Ian at riders edge when he did my forks last week, he said sag numbers are sort of unreliable due to stiction and other factors that can skew the results.
 
With my numbers, I believe I need stiffer springs. I might just try the .45 because of my woods riding. Ill adjust oil level from there. Any opinions?
 
Update:
I got a set of .45 fork springs to replace the .42 I had stock. They turned out to be perfect. I use all the travel without bottoming. Thanks Rancher1.
