We are all novices when a new bike comes along and we start from scratch to see what will and will not work and how everything will come together based on engineering that we cannot see inside the forks and shock and standard geometry offered. I have to start with a blank sheet and get to work to know what I have and then see how it all works. We all start somewhere so start with ergonomics - that has the best immediate ROI.
We will always be novices - forever learning. I always do my best to just be a sponge when learning from those with more experience and knowledge than me on a subject. This channel is brain food.
Ride and see how much travel you use to assess if you need more or less preload. Use real world findings to assess what you need vs what the text book says.
Can anyone confirm if that was the Mupo upgraded front forks? Seemed like the standard rear shock. I'm going to be ordering one of these soon. I am 220#+ with gear so assume the upgraded forks/shock are a must for me.
Wish they made a slightly larger Ohvale, we've got a CRF450r and CRF150R for supermoto/kart tracks and I'd love to have a smaller version of my R6 trackbike in terms of ergo for the kart tracks. Any bike suggestions Dave? Something almost in between a ninja 300 and an Ohvale? Btw I've been a subscriber to your website for the past few years and love learning! Thanks!
Have you ridden a GP2 yet? I'm 5'11", 175 without gear and love mine. It's small but very doable. 2 laps in you stop thinking about ergo's are realize how many bad habits you have with when and how you move your body.
@@Desmotwin Yeah I rode a buddies and my knees were begging for mercy 1 lap in lol. I'm 6'3 and 195lbs and just need a little bit bigger of a frame. I wish Ohvale made a tad bigger bike!

Thank you Dave moss for everything you do for.people and their bikes. You are the man!
I raced a Metrakit on kart tracks for four years back in the mid 2000's. I just learned more in 15 minutes, than I did in those four years!
Love that Steely Chimp shirt!
Lost some weight Mr Moss. Congratz. That's free HP on any bike.
Hi Dave, absolute Gold... info is appreciated...
Thanks and happy to read the information was highly relevant.
When watching him dial in a bike it’s painfully obvious that I’m still very much a novice.

@@GigachadAKM Thanks! We will continue to create more of it!
God I would love to do this so much. Even just once I swear I am so jealous
She is well having it on that 190,,,luv it ,,,,,DMT👌
Hey Dave,
When is the next time you'll be at dixon? I also have a gp2 that needs tuning...
Great question - when I get 5 minutes lol. All weekends are booked through October ...... I can help you via Remote Tuning.
What do I do if static sag is 30mm/20mm (front/rear) and it's only another 10mm/15mm (front/rear) with me on it?

Yep, Mupo front, stock rear.
So cool. I wish I wasn’t an old giant. 6’5”
Noted and yes, that would be a interesting being a Sequoia amongst saplings .....
Respect 🙏

They need a gp7. 17's would be sick.

The smaller R6 is an R3, it's what I'm using on our local big Kart track 🤠
Tianda TDR300 perhaps. Never seen one in person. Just became aware of it a few weeks ago. Seems like a step between a Ohvale and a Moto3 bike.

Ohvale are insanely overpriced, cool little bikes though.
