Tyre pressures, I do not see anyone teach about tyre pressures rising up to 5-6 psi when hot. A new guy at the track reads that 33-34 psi is great for their tyres, they may set pressure to 30 psi to achieve 32psi because of available information but in reality with warmed up tyres they are really running at 35-36 psi. I start my tyres cold at 26-27 psi to achieve my optimum pressures. I would advise people to do a 20 minute run on there bikes and get of and check your pressures, it may surprise ppl just how high their tyres pressures have risen. I learnt more at the track in half an hour than I did in twelve months watching KZbin, Love your work Dave.

It’s pretty good advice at the end, getting suspension tuned and rider training / development.... Pretty cool stuff. I enjoy Dave’s animated body language / hand gestures, this helps me learn and understand what each adjustments effect on the bike is.

@@catalystreactionsbw i didn't know much about bikes in 1976 when a friend of my Dad brought over his GT 550, and because i didn't know the smoking exhaust was normal, i passed up buying it ☹ I currently have an RVT RC 51 and also signed up on your site under the free option due to low finance. I've been watching you vids on line trying to learn suspension settings. I've owned the bike since 2008 and am second owner. Just installed Metzeler sport tec m7rr tires, and Metzeler Tires because $200 for the set brand new from a friend.. I always road a 190 50, and didn't check first and the back tire is now 190 55. It feels different just sitting on it. Keep the rubber side down 👍

If they had been out of the sun in a temperature controlled room and passed the finger nail test, I would consider then. My personal normal limit is 3 years.

Dave Williams, editor, replying here. To what "setup" are you referring?
@catalystreactionsbw5 жыл бұрын
@Trikk Dave Williams, editor, replying here. Thx so much for clearing that guy's muddy water. Yes, Moss charges $20 for a one time base setup, $40 for a morning's worth of tuning (base tune go for a ride, refine tune go ride, refine tune go ride, final tune), and $60 for a day's worth; the best value for an advanced rider who can continually increase their pace after each tune. Everyone increases their pace after a base tune (and I mean everyone, they just can't not), but almost all settle into that new pace and Moss refines the tune TO that pace. Many advanced riders can continue to increase pace after the first couple of refined tunes. They don't plateau as quickly.
