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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anyone have any recommendations for a good KYB tuner on the east coast. I have a 2012 310TXC and I know I need to get different springs for my not so small frame so I figure I might as well just send them off.

Thanks
 
I like David a Fast Bike Industries out of NC, but if it's just re-springing your local jap bike shop can do it in a heart beat or send them down to me. I am in the middle of setting up springs on my TXC310 this week and have a pretty good baseline to work from but want to get another 10 hours or so on the bike before I decide whether valving is going to be played with. From what I'm hearing re-valving is not overly a common issue once sprung appropriately and after some short play riding I'm inclined to feel I may not have to re-valve this suspension just to ride it where I want to.

The stock front fork springs are supposed to be a .44 kg and for a 225lb rider .48 or .49 are recommended for instance, however I'm starting out at .47's since I had a cheap take-out pair here from a YZ450 to experiment with.

The stock rear shock spring appears to be a 5.4 and Delong is running a 6.0 rear an he's around 190lbs. I had a 6.0 rear spring here and it's almost on the mark for me at 225lbs with max amount of pre-load factored in, but will most likely end up with a 6.2 or 6.4 I'm thinking.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I'm right around 220-225 in gear so I'm probably looking at similar springs. Might try getting the correct springs and see what I can do before re-valving.
