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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I've noticed the cr 250 has a lighter spring than the wr for some weird reason. Got 25mm static and 100mm standing on pegs with street clothes.with 5.2 . Has 4.5 forks springs. Thinking about trying 5.4 or 5.6 . I weigh 210. Anybody have any for sale? Old rider on nasty single track rocks.
 
I'm 210 lbs and have 4.8 and 5.6 and wish I would have gone one step more (for sure on the shock).

I'm not doing any jumps, just trails. Don't know if that's to much. What is you sag working out to Doug? Thanks.

sag was right on front and back, but there is a pretty big window for the sag numbers so a lot of it comes down to what works for your riding style. My bike works great in the really technical stuff that is more like trials then moto. The fast GNCC type stuff is where I get smoked by my riding buddies. I use all of my travel and bottom often and still can't keep the pace... maybe it's because I'm old and slow but when I jump on my son's YZ450 it think "now I see why I can't keep up" lol. Problem is if I rode his bike I'd be worn out in 20 min.
 
I know the feeling Doug. I found I can go softer on springs because I'm one of the older I get the faster I was group!
