this one time dave moss set up my suspension while i stood around and hydrated my smug, fat, sweaty face while acting like i don't give a shit. it was sic!!!!
This is good to watch, I do suspension set ups for road and track. Not at your level, but I love the skill of reading the tyre and setting things right that you do
Excellent. Yes, without suspension data loggers, the single greatest source of data is tire wear. I hope you subscribe to his website, davemosstuning.com. All the info is there to become an excellent suspension tuner. Understanding spring rates, shim stacks, blah blah is another level of course (at which Moss is excellent as well), but all the info is on the website to become great tuner. It's amazing how many people are riding poorly or untuned suspension at expert lap pace. Obviously speaks to their inherent talent level. But with a basic tune they ride even faster. I cannot tell you how many times I sat on the pitlane wall with Moss at national and world events listening to him predict the changes the team were gonna make to a bike, and then watch the team do exactly what he said.
I have an old '87 GSXR1100 that I just use for street use. What sag would you recommend for normal / fast road use??? I have all the other settings to get right but sag is where to start right???
Mr. Moss please come to Tampa to hold a clinic. I don't drink but I would throw myself off the wagon just for the chance to drink pints with you for 12 hours just to be able to pick your brain for a minute. Please please come to Tampa!
There’s no way I would race after making such drastic adjustments to the bike. I would do at least one practice session before. If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t race it
I have a question for you Mr. Dave Maas why do you really care so much about other people because it really seems that you do which is awesome but wouldn’t you rather be riding or is this some crazy attempt to keep motorcycle riding alive by keeping the Ryder life is that what it’s all about? Just asking
It's his business, tuning motorcycles. What you don't see is that he gets paid for his time/skills. By being at the track and making money he often rides races also.
Guy didn't seem to give a toss! I'd do a lot of things to have Dave moss take a look at my bike
I had the same impression

THAT GUY IS A LEGEND I wish i was rich enough to pay him all day to work on ma bike
I agree however, I would actually pay to work alongside with him so I can learn more , but thats my style
By the way it sure looks like a lot of work God bless you
the guy was more interested in his water bottle.
@MotoFeeder Thanks for getting back to me so quickly Dave.
How does a guy with so much "skill" overlook one of the most, if not the most, important factor in motorcycle riding?

Thank you?
....cats like that make the 'sportbike world' have a shitty reputation.
I wanna be Dave Moss..
Definitely was a bit of a jerk.. Like if he was doing Dave a favor by letting him work on his cheap ass Gsxr!!!
Helping!!! Sorry but you make lots of money with the riders.and you talking too much,it is my opinion
