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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What sag setting for the 449 ?

30-33% of overall suspension travel (which is 300mm), so 90-99mm with the rider on the bike, in full gear, feet off ground, stand up.
 
Race sag full gear 100-105mm on most surfaces, hard pack, rocky. 115-120mm for high speed sand, open desert. If you are using the stock damper stop, you can swap it out to get 10-20mm more travel.
 
Right, they use this as the starting point to fine tune from. Its worked well for me.
 
Good info but the CTS may play a roll here and might need some different setup. Just tossing that out there.

It doesnt seem to make as much difference with the sag as I first suspected it would....however it is easy to sit so far forward that you get bad readings....

This is something I guess I missed. who makes the aftermarket stop?
