  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 txc 250 lowering spacer size?

I am planning on lowering my suspension 1.5 to 2 inches and was wondering if anyone has done this and if so knew what size spacers you used. I want to do this myself and not send them out to be redone. I need to know front and rear and if you replaced or just cut the front springs.
Thanks.
 
I bought a bike that was lowered and changed it back. The forks had showa spring perches installed. I'll take a pic when I get a chance.
The shock had a spacer. I find it and take a measurement.
 
I had mine lowered at the time of sale. A spacer was made for the Kayaba shock and spacers were made for each Kayaba fork leg. The kickstand was shortened the appropriate amount and the front springs were cut shorter .I don't know the size of the spacers. The bike was lowered just under 2 inches. I'm assuming that when the fork springs were cut this increased their spring rate. This may be just what the doctor ordered as I weigh approx. 230 lbs. without riding gear.
 
I did finally lower my bike 1 5/8 inches. I had a friend make 1 5/8 spacers with a taper to match the shock tube for the front fork then cut the springs an equal amount. Then installed raceteck spacers for the rear shock. I really like it now but it does bottom out every once in a while on big rocks. Jumping big logs is fine though so I would not lower it anymore than this. I do hit my pegs on stumps every once in a while too but I did this before lowering also.Just thought I would follow up with this so anyone else doing this would have a little feedback.
 
So Racetek has spacers for the shock. That's a start! If only there were a 1.5ish" kit available.
