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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2011 te310 spring selection

LBM.

AA Class
Bikes running great, no real complaints on the handling (best bike i've ever owned) but in checking my sag numbers may need springs so could be even better? have already changed fork oil to 5wt and have 120 mm oil level (was a great improvement)
Fork sag, static=40mm
rider=60mm
Shock sag, static=29mm
rider=108mm
confident in my numbers and tested with full tank gas, warmed suspension and full riding gear on.
bike is not raced but trail ridden hard and fast, I weight 168lbs without gear. Confusion with "Race Tech" spring selection. fork needs a .441 kg spring (stock is .45kg) rear needs a 5.76kg (stock 5.2)
I felt my front spring was the only concern with only 60mm sag. Any thoughts?? how much softer fork spring will get me a 70 mm rider sag?


Thanks, Lorenzo M.

Thanks Freestyle
Something else for me to think about..But I was going to try a "Race tech" .42 fork spring and maybe up the rear to 5.4 as I seem to have the spring fairly compressed and loose most of my static if I try to get closer to 100mm rider sag (a bit soft as you suggest) The Husky 5.2 is progressive? did not realise that. On the forks, have only bottomed them once or twice even with the 120mm oil height and really my only issue is fork deflection in the rocky stuff. Do you think .42 with higher oil level would reduce the chances of blowing through the stroke?
