Suspension Set-up: The basics
If you are a road rider or a racer correct suspension setup is the key fast smooth riding and consistent lap times. To get the best performance from your Bike Has to be configured for the conditions to be riding. Much easier to put the bike on the track as you know what conditions will be for the next hour or so, and therefore can dial in the optimum configuration for that particular situation.
To what extent changes the suspension settings will depend on whether the bike will also have to against horse on the road. Unlike road issues are generally smooth and grippy. So if only to use the bike on the track that has the luxury of mounting harder springs and modifying the fork and shock performance internally. If you ride in the road, and the issue that probably will want to maintain a certain level of comfort and concentrate on just optimizing the current equipment
With incorrect suspension settings, tire wear is increased and handling suffers, which in turn can result in rider fatigue. Lap times can be dramatically slower and in extreme cases safety can be compromised. Hopefully the following guide will help you dial in his suspension for faster and safer riding both on and off the track.
First will have to check the fork and shock SAG: This is the amount the forks and rear shock set up under load. To measure the following: push down the fork several times to settle them, then mark the spotlight with a pen or put a cable tie where the dust seal is sitting. Next question a bit to help raise in the bars for the front wheel is just off the ground and measure the amount of the forks have traveled down. This is the arrow static (or SAG load), this can be changed by adjusting the spring preload (more preload = less SAG). Repeat the same process to the back, this time measuring the distance from the axis that for a fixed point in the queue. Now you are ready to begin configuration of the suspension. The key is to do a little at a time and take notes on the fly. To begin to ride the road with the wet track settings and work from there.
Basic Setup: Check the following
SAG Forks 18-22 mm for dry track, 23-27mm of rain.
SAG Shock 8-10mm for dry track, 10-14mm of rain.
Check chain alignment. Please is correct, bike will crab walk and sprocket wear will increase.
The Proper tire balance and pressure, starting with 30psi front and 32psi rear (dry and wet).
Steering head bearings and torque specifications - if too loose, the head moves rapidly.
Front-end alignment. Wheel alignment with triple clamps Tickets. If out of alignment, fork geometry will be incorrect and the government will suffer.
Crash damage, verification of proper frame geometry.
Limitations Stock Suspension tuning
Plan of the manufacturers to design a bike that works moderately well for a large part of the riders and usages. To accomplish this as economically as possible, using Venturi valves with very small. These are then coincides with a very basic wedge stack which creates a damping curve for the given suspension component. A slower speeds this design can work moderately well, but at higher speeds, when the suspension must react more quickly, the suspension not be enough oil flow, and experience hydraulic lock. With water seal, the holder and / or shock can not shut down correctly and handling suffers. The solution is to re-valve the active components for proper damping curve. No matter what components you have, (Ohlins, Fox, Kayaba, Showa) corresponding to its intended use and weight will vastly improve their action. Also, if you can achieve the damping curve is needed, no matter what the brand name is on the component. Often with stock components, when you turn the adjusters full in or out, you do not notice the difference. In part this is because that the manufacturer has made the damping curve in an area outside their ideal range. Moreover, since the valves have such small venturis, the change of setting makes very little difference. After returning to valves, adjusters will come into play, and when adjustment is made, you will realize how it affects the way in which the holder or download proceeds.
Another problem with stock suspension springs that are used. Often, they are progressive, increasing the spring rate, with a higher compression distance. This means that the valving is correct for only part of the spring tour, everyone else is a compromise. If the factory will install a spring-type flies, it is rarely the correct rate for the weight of the rider with the team. The solution is to install a straight spring rates coincides with the distribution mechanism for the combined weight of the bike, rider and equipment for the type of riding intended.
Remember!
 • Always make small adjustments, more is not always better.
 • Keep notes of what you've done.
 • Suspension tuning is an art - be patient
