2 Clicks Out: Can The Track Day Be Saved? ft. ZX-6R

People come to Dave for more than suspension tuning. With 30 years of daily motorcycling experience on the street and the track, he's seen it all. Motorcycles, by nature, want to lay down. But you've got to pick them up and finish on the podium anyway.

She must live close to the track with that house arrest ankle bracelet 😮

[@848evo4]

right, how she going to get a boot on?

[@ThaBootyBandit]

Didnt even notice that lmao.

Must be tough to get boots on!

Dave is a saint! He’s sacrificed his lunch once many years ago to help me get my bike running again and save the afternoon. I still owe him for that one!

[@vicpnut1]

Dude amazes me at his ability to just know immediately what’s what ….I can usually pick up this type of stuff but he has so many diagnostic areas everytime i think I get it he uses a different area to diagnose an issue …( or I’ve been watching to many consecutive Dave videos )

Thanks for watching and using the content to learn from. Doing the step back initial overview is really helpful to "see" what is in front of you, then asking some key questions gives some background information. All of that information gathering is critical prior to starting work. It is a process refined oover 30 years, so it is quite streamlined now by knowledge and practice :)

[@AR-15-685]

Thanks for everything Dave.

[@CrzyMFT]

Dave does track repairs too??? Solid, man!

[@alanrodriguez7341]

Dave Moss is good to the motorcycle community. He rocks!!!!

[@kyled4156]

He is a pure genius!👏

[@kawilifezx10r23]

Been awhile. I'm in Arizona now looking forward to seeing you at an event or trackday.

[@Bobuy222]

Hey Dave! Went on the website to see when/where you will be available. Didn’t see anything scheduled. When can we expect to see your calendar for the year? Hopefully a trip to San Diego/ LA is in the near future. Thank you.

[@fixento]

Dave, I understand your focus on on expensive track bikes but not everyone rides them. Could you do a tuning tips for lower cost bikes, for adventure bikes that have non adjustable fork suspension, but with adjustable preload rear suspension. I'll bet there are a lot of bikes loaded with luggage and camping gear on the rear that need weight transferred to the front wheel.

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Yes - much more focus on street and ADV in 2023 when I finish the New Zealand teaching tour in early March.

[@Bulbous_Beluga]

Hey Dave, I ride a 2022 Yamaha XSR900 and I bought it back in November when the temperatures were in the low 70s and high 60s in my area. So when I set the suspension back then it was perfect but now the temperature in my area fluctuates between the 30-50 range. My suspension feels stiffer and when on the interstate averaging 80mph my bike has a slight shakiness in the front and rear. What changes could I make to my suspension to adjust for this issue?

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Think of oil temps. Colder = slower flow rates. Hotter weather = much faster flow so the bumps get way bigger and jagged hence the handling changes/evolves on you. Also factor in oil age and service life.

[@rorypaster2264]

3500 bikes/year! That's a Guinness world record

[@catalystreactionsbw]

I very much doubt that lol..... I'm sure there are companies that do way more than that over a given year.

[@Nonicknameleftforme]

I have to views on the thing that you did here Dave... 1. You helped the first guy fixing his bike. Nice of you. Gentleman behavior, but... 2. You helped someone to get back on track with a bike, that could leak oil again and then someone else can crash on this oil. This is an absolute NO GO for me.

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Noted on your personal philosophy and thank you for sharing your POV. The bike in question still had to go through tech inspection before being allowed out, so there was one more step they had to pass.

[@MrWhothefoxthat]

tell me how to improve forks that cant be tuned, and a back shock that cant be tuned.

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Forks - oil viscosity and volume, springs and spacer lengths. Shock - spring replacement and some can be drilled and tapped to make them serviceable.

[@jake88ci]

i would bet the GB racing case covers are chinese knock offs ( why? the way the covers are broken = long explanation )

[@David..]

Wild to me that people buy knock off case covers. I always thought of case covers like frame sliders in that they’re aesthetic carbuncles but a necessary evil.

That’s not a lap timer on the ankle now is it?
