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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Looking to buy a 5kg spring for 2010 wr250

Hi,
I am looking to buy a 5kg spring for my 2010 WR250, Does anyone have one that they do not need?
 
I'm fairly certain the OEM spring from my 2014 CR125 is a 5.0kg. I can verify after work today.
What part of the world do you live?
 
I used the 5.0 spring off of my 2013 WR125 (which I replaced with a 4.6) on my 2011 WR300. I had bought a 5.2 for the 300, but decided that it was too stiff for me.
 
Hi PC,

I am in New Zealand,. How much do you want for it? Do you have the stock fork springs as well?
 
Hi Dirtdame, how many kg are you? I am 68kg with no riding gear on. Did you change the fork springs as well?

I weigh 140 pounds...so about ten pounds less than you do. Then add 30 pounds for backpack and toolpack.....
Anyway, I ended up using a 5.0 on the shock and .40 springs in the front end.

Do you want to sell your 5.2kg spring if you still have it?

Probably the shipping charges would be way crazy. Bear in mind that the same spring is on late model Betas and any bike that came with a Sachs shock. So if you can find the right rate for one of those, you can use the same spring.
 
I will be paying for shipping anyway as everyone that stocks springs in NZ wants around $250nz, not an option for me. I can buy a new spring on eBay and have it shipped for less than that. I was hoping to help out a fellow husky owner at the same time and buy an unwanted spring off them. I am still keen to buy off you. I use a fright forwarding company so you will only have to ship it to Portland OR then I take care of it from there.
 
The spring on the Ohlins shock on the older (2003 ish) DE GASGAS bikes will also fit the Sachs shock. You might try the GasGas forum... most guys are heavier than the stock spring so there's lots of light springs floating around for sale.
 
Think may still hav the stock 5kg spring roj. I'm in Aus so cheaper postage but if you've already worked it out with DD no biggy

$40 + postage sound fair? I am still using the stock fork spring right now, but I have some heavier springs to try and if the new springs are an improvements then I'll be willing to sell them.

If you buy other stuff from anyone else in the states have it shipped to me and I'll send one package to NZ and save you from multiple shipments.
