  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 setting in the rear to not get bucked after leaving a jump 2012 wr300

Ive been trying to sort out the rear suspension on my WR300. I feel like it wants to launch me straight over the bars when leaving any sort of lip. I've tried adjusting rebound and slow and fast compression. But regardless of what I do it wants to send me. I rode a buddies beta over the same area and it jumps super smooth. Both are using the sachs rear shock, but I'm not sure of they are the same sonce my bike is 9 years older.

Any thoughts on atleast some default setting that might help sort this out?
 
Make sure your shock is in good working order and isn't leaking or filled with old dirty shock fluid. Then, make sure you have plenty of sag in your rear suspension. With you on the bike, the suspension should settle about 110 mm or about 4.33 inches. If you still have trouble after that, make sure that your spring rate is correct for your weight. I had the right sag, but my spring was too heavy for my weight. Something called "ride level" will determine what happens also. Make sure that your forks and shocks are dialed in to compliment each other so that you have a level reactions between the front and back.
 
you cant trouble shoot without first baselining..... 9 years old......get your shock serviced and set up by a reputable suspension tech . Its a waste of time and effort to try and set up with all the unknowns.
 
The sag is at 110, and has been serviced right before I bought it late last year. I'm about 15lbs under the weight the weight of the previous owner and the current spring was set for him.
