  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Rekluse or Lectron....?

Nope, I just dropped them in but that doesn't mean that someone else may have to add a washer or two.
I have a 6Kg spring on rear. You will need that much to get the sags set correctly. As for the KTM manual, I never agreed with it. You do not need that much fork spring. You want the bike to drop as it enters a corner.
Both ends. If not the bike will push and the front will wash out. If you don't get the static sag right on rear the bike will be about an inch too high. Making it hard to get your leg over the bike and also harder to get the fork to work right. Right now you are putting too heavy a spring to compensate for too much preload on rear.

I had to double read your post just because of those front springs you use. I understand the preload spacer and sag idea, but what i'm confused with is it would appear you rely more on the valving then springs for the compression/rebound action of the fork? The rear shock your visa versa if im understanding you correctly? Having been a former KTM owner according to the owners manual i was looking at a set of 4.6kg front springs and this is the principle i've used when respringing Husky. Did you increase the length of the preload spacer on the 4.0kg fork spring to reach that sag measurement?

WRONG, I tried two. Could not stand them. Unreliable too. Made me feel like I had to ride the bike harder than normal. I had them on a 525 and 530 KTM. Waste of my money at least. If I had a problem that I couldn't use the clutch lever properly then I would want one too. I even tried tunsten balls to make it engage firmer. I couldn't get the clutch to last an entire event. Even after careful adjustment and several changes.

There had to be something wrong,I have the exp and the pro version in 2 different bikes and for about 3years in on the pro.They have been nothing but awesome and stone cold reliable.set it and forget it.If I didn't tell you it was in the bike you wouldn't know it's there until you made a mistake.I guess I just have better luck with them.
