Dave is a proper actual expert Everything is important when it comes to suspension and those measurements are critical for performance and safety So whatever Dave charges it’s worth it because not only do you get your bike set optimally, you also get knowledge ☝🏻
Dave is such a nice guy always ready to help and knows everything.. what a legend..I have watched so many of his videos on fork rebuild and it has helped me do my mates race bikes so much
Professor Dave, you are brilliant! Thanks for the wonderful analysis. I was able to tune the suspension and now my ninja1000sx feels perfect in the corners
On my 2020 z1000sx I can only get rear rider sag down to 33mm with preload all the way in and that’s with the strongest spring I could find! Ktech 110nm.
Hi Dave, nice and informative video. Especially the effect of an underdamped setting on the back tire is great insight! But I don't understand why you adjust compression and rebound damping before setting up the pre-load? It might not have that big effect in this case, but generally I'd adjust that first and tune the damping according to the new spring rate. If change in preload is large, this might lead to some frustration in the first place...
Im getting confused with this HALF ONE talk ??? My bike shows from left to right S - H . So is closed turned left anti clockwise or fully turned right clockwise ?? As i see him adjusting at the wheel from right to left ????.?.. where im going from left to right at 1 1/4 turn ... as it shows to be standard setting ...
The "half, one" is Dave counting out loud as he counts the number of turns he makes. As I understand it, he's counting up in increments of 0.5 turns. Closed (h) is turned fully clockwise as far as it will go. Open (s) is anticlockwise. You can count turns from fully open or fully closed so long as you do it the same way every time.

Wish i could found someone like you to set my bike that was awesome
12:10 I used to have a pair of Sansui speakers like that. Very informative video.
Simply a legend Dave is. I set all my bikes up from his videos . Big thanks Dave
Thanks for this video. I will definitely go and check my Z1000SX out. I will have to watch it a few times though.
The bike Doctor in session!
The knowledge here is awesome. Great video.
Great video, but above my head. Had to watch twice, he is like a super Forensic bike master-builder
This guy knows his shi! .He's a professor of handling, suspension and ride technology!. Thanks for posting, ill be checking mine.
Mega advice Dave, just got 1 of these after the 10R so will be making some changes myself
I got a 2020 1000Sx. This video was very helpful. Thank you for posting!
Ok.... I'm looking at my bike.... you lost me on every step after that...
You are truly a bike doctor doctrine 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Dave Moss was in New Zealand!
Not "chicken strips"...those are wisdom strips!
Need to do more videos Marky; they're great!
thanks a bunch for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot from this video!!!
You the man bro!
really nice... love the way he is explaining everything. keep it up ...
Brilliant enjoyable video to watch 👍🏻🏴
Great video!!!!!
Bella moto !with compliments!
God of suspension
Nice excellent video.
Great video, i will tray to do on my SX
On my 2020 z1000sx I can only get rear rider sag down to 33mm with preload all the way in and that’s with the strongest spring I could find! Ktech 110nm.
Very interesting
This guy is a wizz at setting up bikes for road or track,if your lucky enough to get him to look at your bike .
genius

Spring rate won't change with changes in preload.
Because there was no compression damping at all on the front forks due to being out of range. He put it into range.
They already did sag so small readjustment.
I would love Dave to tune my gsx 1000. I have chased it ever since I bought it and I can’t get it right.
Learned more in these 12 mins than I did in 45 years of riding 😂😱
He seems to have lost some of his accent? Spent a lot of time in the states?
Love the mufflers, what brand is that?
George Servanis Not my bike so not 100% sure, but they look like Brock’s Performance Penta-Carbon.

I was reading my brand new Dunlop Q3 plus rear tire..... it told me I had 2 nails in it after a few weeks riding. How pissed was I ?
Very!
Sorry Dave I thought you were a knob. Take it all back with respect. Will try your tutorial from tomorrow ❤️

Closed (h) is turned fully clockwise as far as it will go. Open (s) is anticlockwise. You can count turns from fully open or fully closed so long as you do it the same way every time.
I know it's science, but it still seems like witchcraft :-)
I felt like that for ages too! I think it's one of those skills that needs hands on experience and lots of repetition to really internalize.
I’m lost here
No, you're in suspension.
