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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need a Sachs shock spring, interchangeability with other shocks

Need to go stiffer on my shock spring. Looking for a 5.6kg to replace my stock 5.2kg in order to hold up my fat ass. lol. This is a 07 TE250 with the Sachs shock.

Looking to do this on the cheap so if anyone knows if there are other springs that work on the Sachs shock please let me know. Or if you have an old spring you are willing to part with. Tia
 
Might be cheaper to find a Sachs spring in the classifieds here. I got lucky and got a YZ Ti spring cheap and it works well on my wr300. It is a little bigger than stock, I've got a YZ retainer to fit soon. They weigh about 1/3 of the stock spring which is sweet. Good luck finding a deal on ebay, prices were high for the Ti springs last time I looked.
:cheers:
 
I've been told by the suspension tuner and re affirmed it with race tech's spring calculator that my fat ass needs a 6.0 spring so I need to go up in rate from my previous post.

Thanks for the help guys
 
Will the Yamaha spring work on the 08' TE's? I've never heard about another spring working on the Sachs shock.
 
Dunno bout the 4ts really but the 2ts work with them so id assume be very similar. Marginally bigger n longer from memory(Yammy that is)
 
The issue is clearance to air box, swingarm, etc on different models. Works fine on my 300, but was only a couple of hairs clearance on the 165.

I have a complete Sachs shock from my 2012 TE 310 and has been re-valved and it has an aftermarket 5.6 spring. Not a 6.0, but better than what you got now.
I replaced the Sachs with an Ohlins shock so I don't need it. Let me know if you're interested.
 
Is there an easy way to determine what rate spring I got?
Have two spare springs an two spare shocks.
From 99 wr250
An 02 wr 360.

Echo up top I went öhlins TTX.
In UK you shout shipping I shout get em out my shed

Yes, Ohlins TTX too.
I was wondering how to measure spring rate... Probably need a gauge/press to measure force.
 
Yeah they were too stiff for me at 80kg race kit on wet.
Think they're 5.5 - 6kg spring s but can't be sure.

Yeah TTX öhlin mono did a build thread on here.
Works very well so far.

I'll look for your Ohlins thread, mine works nice too.
I see you have a GasGas 300. I rode a friend's through 100km of single track, loved it. What amazing low end torque and grip.

Save you trawling through the café
Yeah the gas gas is mental I really want the husky engine in the frame of that with bigger forks and tank.
Now that would make an extreme enduro monster.

Re 5.6 spring if it's stock in 09 was it stock in 99 lol
 
That spring rate thinks broke.
I've 7 active coils
It's 3.1 25 dia
And is .5 thick

Says I've a14kg spring.. bs too that.

Whatever I've done wrong I'm stumped
