2 Clicks Out: 135 vs 235 pound Rider (60 vs 105 kg) Suspension Setup Intro

Показать описание

Using the 2019 Kawasaki ZX-6R as the example. Same motorcycle, same year, same stock suspension, but riders with a 100 pound (45 kg) weight difference. No motorcycle's suspension off the showroom floor is setup correctly for any rider much less every rider.

It’s a shame manufacturers don’t offer an interactive setup page so we can all get the most out of these incredible machines.
Until then, we have talent like Dave, but he is just one man

This guy is the best thing on the planet I've learned so much, total respect 🇬🇧

Before attending Dave's tuning session in Thousand Oaks last week I had given up on finding a good balanced setup and was ready to buy an aftermarket shock and springs. But a few minutes under the DMT tent answering his questions then making adjustments put this motorcycle RIGHT. The front - rear balance he obtained with stock suspension is remarkable. Controlled and still compliant. More confidence, more fun, more chores getting put off because I wanna go riding!

Guy works his ass off at sanoma. Non stop bikes and he nails it at every level. Great man

Great quote in the intro motorcycle's suspension off the showroom floor is setup correctly for any rider much less every rider". That is something I realise more and more with every one of your vids I watch.

to Max VA Disability - I cannot access your comment. So here is your reply: set fork preload with 4 lines showing and damping at 6 clicks from maximum. Use a cable tie to get fork travel at 10-20mm from the bottom of the chrome tube via preload.

Ah ha! Another on point video. Looking forward to watching the full video with my morning coffee tomorrow. 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm not even sure what I'm doing here. I have a fairly new KTM Duke 125, which I can barely ride and I was just wandering if I should touch the default preload setting on the shock (the only setting there is), because I'm lighter than average, I think. So I was looking around the internet, stumbled across Dave’s videos here and on the OTT channel and watched dozens already including some GSX-R750 disassembly. It’s fascinating :). I'm definitely going to recommend the MT-07 fork fix video to my colleague, who has one. Great stuff.

You look like a top notch motorbike coach here. Good common sense explanations. Nice work, thanks for the vid. Liked and subbed.

Informative as always! Respect from India.

Thanks! Triumph has given me nothing in terms of what I should do. I'm still a little confused on whether I open or close my front fork compression/rebound and rear shock preload/rebound when switching between riding in sandy terrain and rocky terrain.
I figure I should decrease preload to lower the rear when riding in sand, but there really isn't a real guide on the WP website or my owner's manual to help me know what I should be doing with my suspension for the various terrain I ride.
