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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Shock spring rate

I need advice about if I should change my shock spring on my 08 SM610 for a softer one.
I weigh 168lb and wont be taking any passengers, i removed the rear pegs, so i dont need to compromise.
If anyone could help me with a spring rate i should using and any advice about settings, it would be appreciated, thanks.

Also, if all goes to plan i will be sorting out my forks, but i know what i want from them, they will be softer.
If it works out, i will post a thread with details.
 
Te610 stock spring is a 6.4 on a te ( not sure about sm ) - which is maybe a tad stiff for your weight , but not much . I went a 6 and i am about 70kg .

All the magic is in the valving , you need correct spring weights but the valving is what transforms a bike .

Racetech have a calculator on there site to calculate .
