  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 suspension help please 09 with shivers/sachs

FWIW I had Drew Smith (WER) do the suspension on my 09 wr250 and I can honestly say it's hands down the best suspension I've ever used..... soaks up all the trail junk yet resists bottoming on the larger hits. Bike handles and corners better than I ever thought it could !
 
My suspension is being worked and there are "issues" here.

The rear shock is a mess with an oring on the piston gone and that is with a half season of riding on it.

The forks came with .49 springs which is off the charts and out of factory spec from my experience. This is a measured value.

Hmmmm. Love the bike other than this.

ive got a 09 wr300 i recently picked up, and im battling with the forks. ive got the correct springs, correct valving, and oil hieght, yet the small stuff beats the hell out of me especially at slower speeds. it sucks up the bigger stuff really well, but small roots, and rocks it feels very rough. it may be blowing through the top part of the stroke but im not sure. any thoughts? also ive got the correct amount of sag in the rear according to the manual ( 4 inches w/cold shock ) is anyone running anything different? my TXC's we always ran a quarter to half inch more but i tried it on my WR and it felt way off.

heres my set up
.46 springs in the front, 120 mm oil height.
5.6 rear spring, sag is 4 inches.

i way 185ish ( no gear ), race tight single track in A or AA class depening on the series.


thanks for any help
