Watch it again but slow the play back speed down 😂.

Out of 100 videos out there this is the best explanation. Thanks man

Thanks for making this easy to understand. Just got a 2005 Yamaha R6 and it'll be my first bike with suspension adjustment capability. Haven't touched anything yet as I'm still working on the bike to get it roadworthy. Will be looking to do this setup once it's back on the road. Gonna probably set it up for street for now until I'm comfortable on the bike and then tighten things up next year when I take it to the track. Keep it up big bro

Possibly the best and easiest explanation ive seen, well done 👍

Simple. To the point. Outstanding!!

How did I miss this vid 😮😮😮. Another great vid.

Fantastic video. Much appreciated 🙏

Bro coming in clutch with the wisdom! I needed this 1

Great informational vid man!

Superb explanation. Thank you!

Im so glad I found this channel. Man you literally have the best channel in my opinion for bike maintenance. Please please continue

Great video, @adobo! And most impressive for managing to summarise this in less than 5 mins! Just a note for others, that quite often, your compression and rebound adjustment may be located separately on each fork, i.e. Compression on one and Rebound, the other. Your preload adjustment can be on top of the fork or at the bottom. Setting the right sag is key to comfort, handling and safety. Imagine if you didn't have sag and your bike travels over a dip or a hole - without the ability extend further, your whole front end (and rear end) will just end up crashing into it, upsetting the balance. Don't think your suspension is set up correctly straight off the showroom floor either. Most sportbikes may not have ANY rear free/ static sag set up whilst the front is way too soft. I know my R7 was waaaaay off for my weight and riding style. Spending time experimenting and adjusting it accordingly has improved the comfort and handling no end. And like others, I did also find Dave Moss' videos to be most helpful as he does dive into all the nuances and how it effects your bike in great detail for those interested. Thanks again for such a great video so succinctly explained!

This was very useful 🙏🙏, thanks

Comment added to show appreciation. Damn that easy, now i feel lazy for not doing this yet to my bike.

Would love a separate video on your thoughts about after market front and rear suspension and the differences you could expect in handling, feel etc . Real world track benefits, advantages and impact of after market front and rear? Front vs rear benefits? Which one would you choose to upgrade first and why? Thanks!!

Great video, thank you

Loved it. I’m going to play with my thing. :)

best video online showing what each part does

Good info thanks

That was very helpful

Awesome video

Thank you for the tip sinigang man

I need you to start washing your bike before every ride. It's always nice to show up to the meet with a clean bike.

Second! Tbh, i'm not really into this. but it's very entertaining and informative!!

😂 i think everyone is a fan of riding and talking

The only difference I would do is set rebound more like Dave Moss and bounce the front end and look for the front to go down (compress). Then return to you neutral point (rebound) and stop with out added bounces. Then bounce and set the rear shock and set the same way for rebound. Then standing next to the bike bounce both front and rear and look to see if the bike returns at the same rate front and rear.

I just watched one of his videos showing exactly this method.

Something oddly satisfying about Adobo doing simple math.

Best review yet for setting static sag. I want to know though is there a way to do the whole set up without the help of another person?

Is it ok for your left foot to be on the ground when sitting on the bike while taking your rider sag measurments?

Please do more vids with the ducati!

Ayyy the duc making an appearance

oh but I did have a question, how do you get the initial measurements or what your bike is set up at? I look at my suspension from the factory and its set up differently on both forks. Ducati v4 set up

still a bit confused about the SAG settings ...should it be 25% of travel for the front and 25% of travel in the back as well? or you take 25% of the front travel, set the front sag, and then set the rear sag to be the same number? I watched like dozen of suspension setting video and nobody sad anything about this ...because as rear travel is longer, when you set rear sag for 25% of travel, the bike will squat on a rear a little ...should it be like that? or should front and rear sag the same?

nice tutorial we should ride sometime im in the washington area

Is the 25~30 % sag applies to both front and rear suspension?

godsend I love you

0:13 Do I need to loosen all the rebound and compression before I do the test?

I got my 23 gsxr and just started riding. 2nd year owning it and hitting decent bumps literally hurts. But I don’t wanna mess up the suspension by messing with it.

Soften the preload

How about ohlins semi active electronic suspension

what if im on the softest setting for my setup (preload, rebound, compression) n while riding i still feel that everything is still very stiff n hard for me

@adobomoto

Revalve, respring.

If you have adaptive suspension you just figure out sag right ?

Before you start, you said "Before you do anything, make sure both forks are evenly adjusted." Are you adjusting the preload and rebound to the softest settings for suspension setup or are you using a mid point? What is the "start" point?

@mylordass8120

Start point is the Factory Settings, look in your User's Manual for all the suspension settings and make sure to set all adjustments to Factory. Then start from there.

i cant find good settings for my bike, cbr 600f pc41. stock settings from manual is waaaaay too hard for me :( im only 65kg wind blown haystick, so its not easy :D

🙏

So, we don’t need to measure the static sag at all?

im a small rider so my preload is 0, all the way soft lolz

I know this is a year old but preload changing stiffness is a very common misconception. It has absolutely nothing to do with stiffness, just with ride hight and sag.

ive found, that being a smaller guy, makes this process damn near impossible to set to "factory" without changing springs. except my cbr600rr i was able to actually set with my body on weight on factory springs, so if your a smaller guy, and just cant get it where it needs to be, you prolly just have to settle with close enough, or get softer springs

Bro thats Not Simple Math you lost long ago

Thats only if ur oil is good and ur seals are not leaking! Also rider setup can differ from rider experience and and how aggressive of a rider you are!

Same when I'm on my SV650 and same as the RC390 I had. You've got 2 options. Change the fork oil and spring or just live with it. Tbh my GSXR600 suspension is 'better' but not 'oh my god I can't corner' on the SV, it's just not as good so I go not as fast.

I took it to the track and had the suspension wizard do it for $40
