  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 just had mine serviced and valved by EE and the paperwork that came back stated they were 4.2kg. Anyway, if your numbers aren't right you need lighter springs.

I agree I need lighter, 4.2 got the sag numbers correct on my GasGas. What do you weigh and how do you like what EE did for your forks?

I'm 185lbs. I set my sag numbers before I sent off my stuff and they confirmed them for me. Apparently the springs are a little stiff on the bike. I've had springs in the past that we're labeled one thing and when tested were something entirely different. A good shop will be able to tell. As far as how I like them, I havent had a chance to ride them yet. I'm waiting on parts from Husky. I can tell you the thing suffered from low speed deflection pretty bad and when I would compress the forks when I removed them you could feel it. They were really stiff on the bottom 1/3 of the travel. I asked EE to specifically address this. When I got them back you could feel the difference immediately. I'm really gutted that I can't ride the thing.

I want to get the correct springs in the forks and see how good I can get them before I send them off. I have the rear shock pretty close and can get it better once the forks are right. The 125 Huskys had 4.2 from the factory so I think I'll try to pick up a used set and give them a try.
