Two Clicks Out 12: Street Bike at the Track

[@immytweed4607]

Dave you are a legend

[@riderread1750]

Hey Dave thanks heaps for your help at Manfield NZ the other day. Bike feels wayyyyy better and was great to meet you. (Black/Orange GSXR)

[@thorvelasco1467]

Dave does charge low for Initial Set Ups, but I think his prices are Market Based. Any higher, no customers, any lower, time wasted. To have this man turn any screw or bolt on any bike deserves way more. I think riders all over know this, and he probably has a healthy tip jar. The Suspension Whisperer.

[@MatttKelly]

his prices are probably cheap for his level of knowledge

[@DevInvest]

These are great! Great video sir!

[@Finchnz]

Awesome, looking forward to seeing you in NZ in January, will be sure to check your site to see where your at.

I do come to OR. I lived there for 15 years before I moved to CA. I am trying to coordinate with PSSR for some dates this year to include a suspension school and a suspension workshop. Apparently they don't start until May. Dave Moss Host

[@awesimo2000]

@OnTheThrottleTV thanks for the reply will be forwarding this to a couple of friends

[@GoodBlokesNZ]

@OnTheThrottleTV Awesome! Will see you in NZ!

[@Mladin66]

Dave... I'm watching you... ; ]... and I think that I'm finally learning, but I still want your DVD. Keep us posted!

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

For this rider, we added more fork rebound damping due to the age of the oil to 38 clicks out from full soft. Low speed compression ended up at 10 clicks out. Shock low speed compression was at 14 clicks out and high speed at 12 clicks out. Rebound was left stock and the preload adjuster was at the softest setting. Geometry remained unchanged. Dave Moss Host

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

You don't finally learn - its just creeps up on you through repetition as you are experiencing. Go one control/concept at a time and work with your own bike wen the suspension is hot as i do with students in the suspension school. It took me three years to understand how all the parts interact, 3 days how to learn to push a bike to evaluate suspension. Notes, test, notes & repeat :) Then get the DVD's and you will have a quantum leap re understanding.

[@Motosapien46]

Having paid $20 for Dave to set my bike and feeling the difference...I have to agree, its worth WAY more than $20! Very appreciative for the value though! Looking forward to seeing you again this year!

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

Street tires like the Q2 that are track/street blends would be great, even during cold spells. Just set the tire pressure correctly to make sure that the tire gets to operating temps. An easy way to check is that you should see a gain of 5-7 pounds cold to hot and should feel hot to the touch. Track tires in cold spells need to be pushed to make sure they stay hot. Subtle but important difference. Street tires can handle many heat cycles too. Dave Moss Host

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

Please go to the onthethrottle site. Go half way down the home page to the search window left of center. Type in ZX14 and you will get the two links to each part. We showed part 1 in the show. Dave Moss Host

[@gruntsrus9444]

speechless

[@Skully521]

theres a story that goes a cruse liner broke down in the middle of the sea and they were stranded. the repair man was flown out to repair the ship, within 1 hour had replaced one valve and had the ship running again. he charged £40,000 for the job, the captain is furious with the cost. the repair man says the charge is £10 for the valve... and £39,990 for the knowledge of which valve in the 10,000 parts that needed replacing. knowledge is power. For $20 to have a bike set up i wouldn't complain

[@xenolard]

@OnTheThrottleTV Thank you for the reply dave. I'm no where near him but might take a ride up there prehaps. I'm near castle combe win Wiltshire. Many thanks and I LOVE your videos. I wish I could develop the "feel" :). Keep up the good work!

[@MrBradfordbiker]

@OnTheThrottleTV Cheers Dave,ive been looking at getting my zx6r resprung for my weight,I'm 6ft 3 and 212lbs lol,just down the road from Leeds too! Nice one!

[@2dL]

I agree with you. 20 bucks was ridiculous

[@chucke3305]

i need help , im 203lbs and my 09 r1 is a tank can someone. tell me how many clicks at each settings. also ecu is flashed and dampner is off. running pilot power 3's thanks in advance.

[@chucke3305]

Thanks, Dave moss web site hooked me up. Its close now.but i need bigger fork spring he says.

[@chucke3305]

Thanks

[@solivefree]

Wondering if you still do this Dave and if so at what tracks and when?

[@KeyserSoze5421]

When you say x amount clicks out,do you set the clicks out from hard or soft? Up until now I've been under the impression its from turn them fully in (clockwise) then back them off however many clicks (anticlockwise) until the desired amount is achieved.

[@MaxPayne19146]

lol "20 bucks?"

[@OnTheThrottleTV]

@xenolard don't know where you are but I mentored John at Alpha Suspension in the Leeds area. Google Alpha suspension set up. Dave Moss Host

[@awesimo2000]

do you have the clip in which you tuned the suspension for the rep from Kawasaki, i think it was a zx14. it was on the live feed you did but it was cut short

[@Kewlhurt]

Hey Dave Moss.....I jst bought a new GSXR1000 for the street......should I have the suspension tned to my body weight?

[@Kewlhurt]

***** Thanks for the reply Shane!....I actually had the suspension adjusted to my weight and the bike feels great....I'm still trying to wrap my head around the power of the bike, but I'm gaining more confidence each time I ride***

[@xenolard]

Does anyone know of anyone even 10% as good as Dave in the UK? I'd love to get my bike setup for road riding but i'm struggling to get something that feels nice as a base point to improve upon. Cheers (2001 Ducati monster M900 SIE)

[@2dL]

That's what I said. The guy that handed over 20 bucks for that kind of setup should've paid him more. I don't think 20 bucks is right for any set up done by a professional.

[@DavidSlagter]

I would've thrown the repair man overboard. ;)

[@jackthomas1978]

Whats he tell us.....nothing

[@picassoimpaler3243]

watch what hes doing. Watch how the bike moves as hes changing settings and replicate.

[@OnTheThrottleTV]
