Hey Dave, I just watched this and remembered that time you helped me out at Mac Park early this year. Thanks again. I raced the Vitpilen in early March and had sooooo much fun!!! Plan was to race it all year but COVID lockdowns came along :( Since then I have picked up a Daytona 675 for track use only, and also a Panigale V2 for use as my street bike. Good times!! Can't wait for racing to begin again! Stay well and maybe I'll cross paths with you again sometime.
Tori!!! Hi :) My pleasure and great to see the progress you made so quickly..... We just started racing here, so it might not be too long for you. Hope I can make it too Aussie again In January 2021 and look forward to working with you again.
Hi Dave, From Argentina. I have been tunning my suspension myself thanks to your videos, and realized that they know nothing of tunning suspension in the official workshop here. Still finding the right spot but WAY better than before. (Ducati 959) And what you mentioned of the rear suspension is the first thing that I realized with this bike and that I'd better tune it myself instead of them.
Dave, just for clarification at the end of the video you say to the rider, you need more rebound. So... this means less rebound dampening, right? SO you are then opening up the valving, correct? Or are you talking short-hand and it means the opposite?
Hi Dave, just bought a V2. I weigh 80kg. Can you give me an idea of the sag front and rear and what rebound/compression settings I should use for the street. Cheers
Set rider sag at 30-35mm for the forks. Set static sag on the rear shock at 12-15mm then ride and see how much fork and shock travel you use. Next set compression at 50% of the total range for the forks and shock and ride again. Based on travel used you will be able to get an idea of what to do with compression for softer/harder settings based on your roads and your speeds. Only set rebound damping when fork and shock of is hot and there are videos on this topic for you to watch for reference.
@@catalystreactionsbw that’s brilliant. Thank you. So rider sag on front but static sag on rear? Rider sag is amount suspension compresses when I sit on it but static sag is amount it compresses due to bike weight only? I don’t set rider sag on rear?
@@POHNJIPERStatic sag is engineered into the forks but all Panigale's come with zero static in the rear shock. Once set, leverage travel used for preload choices.
That clutch master cylinder locating pin is really annoying. Is there a way to remove it without drilling anything? I have the same problem on my bike. You said they'll remove it at the first service but I don't think they do that where I am unfortunately :(
@@catalystreactionsbw Great to know. I didn't even know there was a pin on my cruiser a couple mos ago, spent an hour not being able to refit the throttle assembly properly until I finally noticed the pin... lol
great stuff...on my V2 i feel way too hunched over as if i am angled front downward....its really uncomfortable is there anything i can do about that??
Start by getting static sag set correctly on the rear shock. Got for 12-15mm to start. Once that is set, the riding position should improve dramatically. If you have done this and it does not, the reach seat to tank is too far, so you might consider acquiring bars that are closer to you.
@@catalystreactionsbw incredible thank you! I am going to take it to the dealer to set your recommendations since I am new to this. I really appreciate your feedback 🙏🏼
Hi Mark - most any bike can be set up to work well via geometry and suspension. If you have twin shocks, tension can be set correctly based on travel used. 30w fork oil can stop the feathering/cupping. Some upgrade shocks and fork internals or change to an air ride system for the rear shock.
So Elton John buys a bike at least 4 leagues above his ability, goes to see the worlds leading motorcycle tuners who sets it up perfectly and then goes home and resets the bike back to stock. FFS!
Yeah I noticed that too, Dave set it up for track, not street, but you'd think the new rider could have re set to Dave's specks when he got to the track...
@@catalystreactionsbw Thanks setting up my friends this weekend I will set it on the lighter side for break in and check it after that appreciate all you guys do 👍
This started off as a helpful channel, now its turning into a cash channel, what happened to helping people get better performance out of their motorcycle, ah at a cost though, thought use were better than that guys.
Putting out this level of content with appropriate equipment and production is not free. Nor is the travel to get to events. Nor is the cost of the bikes, testing, maintenance and replacement parts for filming. Nor is my time answering every question that arrives on this channel. I hope you are independently wealthy and can do everything for free for others. If so, perhaps you would like to sponsor this channel to cover all operating costs so the content can be free?
@@catalystreactionsbw double dipping but aren't use, charging the people to tune their bikes then charging us to watch it on you tube, no it doesn't cost a dollar to make a vid, and oh yeah TH-cam doesn't give you guys cash for views comments and sharing do they? Lol who you trying to bullshit brother?
A Rizk you’re being very disrespectful and you’re also misinformed. Making videos does cost money! If you spend some of your professional time on it, you’re not out there making money on other activities. Let alone if you hire someone to do it. DMT are advertising their services by making free videos you can actually learn from and use. I haven’t given them a cent and I’ve learnt more here than talking to “experienced” fellow riders. Also, you’re not entitled to anything except your human rights, no one owes you free videos. Just be thankful for what you get and pay if you want more.
@@JMartinsATV be thankful for being click baited? Ever heard of false advertising? dont make the channel out to be something their not my whole point to this, thats all,! Witch was the whole reason i came to watch this rip off shit! be honest with people if your plan is to charge then say it from the start, dont make it out like youre providing people with a free service on youtube, people dont go to TH-cam to look for a repairer for their bike, cars etc, they go to TH-cam to try and save money... i dont think its disrespectful being called out on you're bullshit brother, its disrespectful bullshitting people though, pretty smart scam i must say charging people for a service then charging people to watch it on TH-cam then TH-cam giving you revenue as well lmao If calling people out on their bullshit is disrespectful then ok im very disrespectful, i think you're the one thats misinformed about the meaning of the word disrespectful.
A Rizk alright buddy, since you’re craving free lessons so much, here you go: A) you could be 100% right and still the way you said it was rude. That’s a definition of disrespectful for you. B) clickbait... maybe. If this were the first video you watch from this channel, you may expect a full lesson when it’s really not. It does say “intro” in the title though (and they usually say “here’s a preview” in the beginning of the video, this one doesn’t)... C) False advertising would be to promise something that is not delivered. Did anyone promise you a gold bar at the start of the video? I never got mine... D) YOU are making this channel out to be something it’s not: the whole DMT service/experience is live in person and on their own website. TH-cam is literally a source of potential customers. E) YOU come to TH-cam to save money. I often use it to spend my money on the best choice of product/service. The platform itself is open to many kinds of videos, with many purposes. It’s not wrong to publish previews and advertisements of paid private services. And it’s appreciated to offer nuggets of knowledge when doing so. F) TH-cam revenue, on videos with these view rates, is negligible. G) You are completely right to feel disappointed this channel is not EXACTLY what you wanted, that’s your opinion. It doesn’t give you the right to be less than polite when addressing people. H) if you’re going to bother to reply, make sure you’re respectful and what you’re saying is meaningful. Otherwise, I’m not wasting any more time on you. School’s out.
Man , a Panigale is the most beautifull sport bike ever made. Nothing beats the look of this thing !!
Agreed.
I found you can loosen the bar and rotate it enough to get the lever down a bit.

How much does it help adding the “F / P” rear linkage from the 1199/1299?
Great channel! Gonna try to setup my Ducati V2 for track... Hopefully I get i right! Thx
If you need help, that is what Remote Tuning is set up for. Have a go and let's see how well you do :)
@@catalystreactionsbw OK Thx!!
Dave, just for clarification at the end of the video you say to the rider, you need more rebound. So... this means less rebound dampening, right? SO you are then opening up the valving, correct? Or are you talking short-hand and it means the opposite?
More rebound means close the tap to slow the flow by going clockwise.
@@catalystreactionsbw thanks, so more rebound "dampening", check. I think that confuses people when you guys don't use the full terminology. Imho.
@@raynic1173 I'll see about using a different reference in stating clockwise or counter clockwise changes.
@@raynic1173 sorry to nitpick, but it should be “damping” not dampening. Unless you’re spraying water on your shock.
