Suspension Tech: How To Dial In Your Rebound Damping | MC GARAGE

Your motorcycle's level of comfort, control and traction can be improved by properly adjusting your suspension's rebound damping. Rebound damping is adjustable on all but the most basic suspension systems. In this MC Garage video, Sr. Road Test Editor Ari Henning explains what rebound damping is and how to check it in order to make the correct adjustment.

Finally, what an excellent video! You explained exactly what I wanted to know in 2 minutes, whereas other videos waste tons of time talking talking talking but not really revealing anything important. Seriously, thank you!

I was trying to figure out how to adjust my rebound damping, that's all, all these other posts going into these ridiculously long videos and conversations and talking about all of these unnecessary details. Like please, just tell me how to fucking adjust my rebound damping to satisfactory results!

Thanks again.

Awesome!! This is the most useful suspension advice Ive ever had in decades of motorcycling! Thanks guys

[dittman]

Nice, very well explained and easy to understand. Great examples presented, short, precise, and to the point, much appreciated.

[eternallearner]

Good straightforward visual and spoken instruction. Excellent de-mystification!

[darkknight]

Perfect video, told me everything I needed to know in less than two minutes. Big thank you

[sammyscrap]

Awesome tip! The sag video was great too, now do one on compression damping and complete the suspension trifecta!

This video series is amazing, keep it up the good and helpful vids Ari !

Quick, precise, and to the point. Thanks!

Brilliant video!! I had no idea it was that simple.

This video works only as a reminder that you should check out proper videos on how to properly setup your suspension.

Good video guys. Try and get a wider shot to show how the chassis of the bike responds overall. That gives most people a better perspective of how a bike should react to bumps or an undulation.

I weigh 65kg. Can you guide me to install compression and rebound of Ohlins 535 on MT-09 ? Please and thank you!

[Daniel-djfh]

But are there tips on how to actually get a good adjustment. Like when do I know when I ride that the suspension could be better.

[bradleymorgan]

Does the fact that we're tuning the damping with no weight on the bike make a difference?

What brand and model of a bike is this?

[ThatGuyFromNantucket]

Ari, Which do you prefer? FZ-07 or FZ-09?

[Faceless_Chat]

I have a 2020 MT 09 (bought it brand new from a dealer), I have not touched the suspension, so it should be pretty soft, right? Im 190 Lbs, when I ridge on a rough surface, I feel like I'm riding a brick! I did the bounce test, and the front fork feels pretty soft. Any suggestions?

[pengasus]

And if you have an MT-09, no amount of dialling will cut it. Change the forks...

[aaronbehindbars]

Wouldn't the rider's weight drastically change the adjustments you make? It seems like setting the rebound on an unladen bike might result in too much damping when laden. I am no physics whiz, so I might be completely off with this.

This is a nice quick vid. But I don't like the red bike. That's because I have the same bike lol.
