How do rear ride height devices work? | Tech Talk with Simon Crafar

[@TheLimhammett]

i always feel like simon can go on and on talking about it but is just limited by the time allowed! wonderful!

[@JREwing-lf7kj]

its actually annoying. I wish we dont always get bite size and he can get allowed todo a longer indepth detail episode of xyz parts of the bikes

[@smee8721]

If he got to the point quicker it would all be explained

[@jamesbowman5062]

His middle name is “Waffle”

[@Nomads_Rowing]

Now nobody can be confused about rear ride height wizardry after yet another excellent Tech Talk - cheers Simon 😎

[@Mr.EeToMyself]

I love this gentleman... hes fun and knowledgeable, as well as polite.

[@irmanoval7750]

Thank you Simon and MotoGP ... 👍👍

These have been some of my favorite videos to watch. Love the knowledge given from a dude with passion for what he is talking about

[@gerardofiano4866]

I don’t know how much does Simon makes, but he deserves a raise

[@pearllllllll]

Clever thinking 🤔 Thanks for explaining Simon 👍

[@stevechampion7938]

Another great Tech Talk!!

[@bukwok]

great drawing,Simon Crafar truly multiple of talents.

[@toufeeqajouhaar2393]

Thats quite interesting to know. i always thought they have some sort of hydraulic ram on top of the spring that allows them to keep the same spring rate and lower the bike but was confused how this would quickly adjust back, but this makes a lot of sense, we normally lower drag bikes by increasing the link but having this actuated makes the job so much easier

Simon comes through again! Good job! Looking forward to Mugello!

Thanks Simon! You always teach us how every part of this motorcycle plenty of technology works! Nice explanation!!

Once again an outstanding explanation in simple terms and diagrams. Thank you Simon.

Brilliant Simon, simple thorough explanation. Really enjoy your tech talk.

Thank you Simon. Very simple but informative. Soon it will be electronically controlled on the road Yamaha R1M

[@deanmsimpson]

That was very enlightening and interesting! Great clear diagram also 😊 Thank-you again Simon 👍

[@NitroClouds]

Simon, amazing job, as always. Love the insight you provide. 20-40mm only?! Man it looks so much more dramatic on TV, more like 80-100mm in some of quatararo’s exits. The back just drops. We used to hear about how “squat” on corner exit was a big tuning issue in production bikes. But I guess when the geometry is controlled and you can use it on a specific corner, like coming onto a straight as opposed to two close, connecting corners, it’s a big advantage for acceleration

[@molallamerica896]

Thank you. Love seeing how these thing actually work.

Similar to a dropper post on a mountain bike in its basic design. Much like a shock that is able to lock out usually via internal valves. Another great video, Simon.

[@JeffJackson86]

Great job Simon, I have been wondering about this. Thanks for covering it. Its amazing how simple this solution is, now, how do they do the front ride height?

[@markg7834]

Oh, so that's how it works! Excellent vid, as usual. Thank you.

[@SimoneDArchino]

As always very interesting!!! Motogp is fun to watch also because this tech explanation. You should also do for every track an onboard lap to explain the Layout!!

@MotoGP could Simon do a Tech Talk about engine brake how it works and if engine controls the RPM when rear lifts up to prevent rear slideouts when it retouch ground?

[@SONO4B11T]

[@iveneverdonethisbefore8390]

Love Simon, but I still don't quite understand? If the rear spring is so heaving, and you need the leverage under acceleration to compress the rear.......then how do they compress the rear on the starting grid?

[@jfl535]

As I understand the weight of the rider is enough to compress it.

[@raimee81]

I always looked at motorcycles as fairly simple machines. After watching so many of these tech talks, I'm not so sure anymore.

[@tonysargent1699]

That was a pretty cool tech talk, straightening some gobbledegook out to plain English! Thankyou very much.

So dropping the ass* on acceleration and straight line for stability (like drag bikes) giving more traction to the tires by extending the wheelbase (albeit +5mm/+20mm) and then lifting the ass* for cornering which in tails rake reduction geometry which will shorten the wheelbase (-5mm/-20mm) quickening the steering angle into the corner. Simplistic idea from a engineer thinking in mechanical terms from industrial machinery… kudos.! The original GSX-R had 18” rims, good straight line stability, the original Fireblade had 16” front 17” rear, great for cornering but both of these ideas suffered, do the compromise was 17” front/rear best of both (well near as) that’s why these GP bikes run 16.5” rims which again gives better cornering and still great line speeds. (Sorry, maybe a bit to much info for some from years of trashing bikes on circuit days)
