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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Front suspension ( fork ) setup

I tried to dial my bike in this week.
New 2013 wr 125
I got the rear set as the specs in the suspension thread. (Little less preload and bingo correct specs)
Now the front is a different animal.

Bike sag is 30 mm and rider sag is 40 mm. Me on or off the bike just makes a difference off 10 mm.
My weight varies between 155 and 158 pounds (70-72 kg).
Following the specs I need 75 mm rider sag at the front
The extra sag at the front is really welcome as I am a short guy and can't get my feet on the ground.

Maybe if I have to do the costs, it is better to have the bike completely lowered with the correct springs in the fork. At the moment I run the bike with the fork +1cm in the triple clamps but have still loose front wheel traction in tight slow twists.
What do you think changing the front springs (which ones) or a complete suspension modification?
Money is a little tight at the moment, but good suspension setup is important for me.
Al suggestions welcome.
Best David
