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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE610 vs XR650

I run zero compression clickers on my '08. Even on huge jumps i cant bottom it out. I weigh 210.

Just an idea for ya.
 
After banging off instead of over the rocks yesterday, I'm ordering new springs front and rear for my 08.
 
knary - where'd you order the springs and which rate did you get? I may end up respringing as well. I saw Racetech carries them at .44 and .46. They don't list the 610 but do have lighter springs for all the other smaller TE's with the 45 Zokes.
 
I was going to order them today if I can. As to where... that's an excellent question. That's one of the puzzles of the day.
 
Call Racetech. They don't list the 610 but they do list all the other Huskys with the 45mm forks. Or maybe it was Factory Connection... Too much time online and you can't remember anything. Hey, try them both.
 
After some good talks with Les at LT-Racing I decided that I'm going to send the suspension to him to respring and revalve. It's a few hundred dollars more, but having ridden professionally set up bikes, I do believe it's worth it.

This is hot. After playing around with the suspension I'm starting to think that a re-valve may not be such a bad idea. Can we get a thread on this?
