Jaybird180 Posted May 30, 2021 Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 If you have your bike setup for trackdays and then you put your mirrors and lights back on for street, what changes (to the suspension) would you expect to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Baron Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I highly recommend you to watch the suspension videos of Dave Moss on YouTube. They opened my eyes not only of possibilities, but to comfort, performance and SAFETY by tuning a bike to fit you. From handlebar position, levers angulation and finger distance, foot pegs height, tire pressures, maintenance DIY and finally suspension adjustments and understanding. You don't how much you didn't know, until you watch his videos. There is a subscription, that is worth paying the year for the amount of knowledge you get. It sure did change my approach to street riding completely and it's not an exaggeration. I'm up (3:30am!!, insomnia) getting ready for Barber 1/2 day camp today and later in the week the 2 days camp. Weather seems to be great today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird180 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I’m a Dave Moss fan, and have been for years. I’ve even had my bike tuned by him a ViR a few years ago. Was hoping there was a quick answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Baron Posted June 1, 2021 Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 My Gixer and Speed Triple R have been tuned by DM via Facetime and email photos sent after setup and test riding. As far as changes, I say set up for your street riding style, road conditions, season, tires hardness, etc. Barber MSP 1/2 camp day was amazing with picture perfect weather.

Jaybird180 Posted June 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2021 I noticed the DM Tuning app is no longer available in the App Store when I went to update it. I sent him a message, but didn't get a reply. Glad to know you got good weather at Barber. One of the local guys who I encouraged to do CSS last year was lusting after riding Barber but instead went to ViR due to convenience.

Barber and VIR both are among my favorite tracks (and that opinion is shared many of the coaches too, by my understanding). Sad to miss Barber this year, but sadly I have to earn a living and only can afford so many days off and so many school tuitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've ridding it more than a handful of times and it's on the top of my list of favorite places to ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
