Hi,
I'm pleased to announce another Suspension *3* workshop!!!! Gary has worked laborously for weeks preparing, so I know it's going to be quite a treat!!!
I am hyped about this one!!!
You're invited to the next: Basic Suspension Workshop - Part 3 by local expert rider, Gary Jaehne!
Here's the only catch: It's limited to 35 riders. See below for the prelimary outline of what will be covered Friday night!
We'll be covering the different setups for bike suspension based on riding styles, bike types, track riding, street riding, and many of the other mysteries you wish you had access to! Because of the more advanced nature of this clinic, those who have been to Suspension 1 and 2 will get the first priority.
The other month there was even a guy that flew from Colorado to attend the workshop and flew back the next morning!
Ken Lipman, our "Silent Hero" has been attending these too!
If there's any room left, and I expect there will be, you can attend IF you already have a basic working knowledge of suspension and are familiar with setting the sag adjustment on your bike.
Topic: Basic Suspension Workshop - Part 3
Place: My office, Physicians Plus Medical Group (formally Wong Chiropractic)
Time: Friday night, March 12, 20034 from 7:15pm to 9:45pm
Cost: the cost has doubled ;-) ( $0 * 2 = $0 )
Here's the scoop from Gary:
"I'm very pleased with the materials that I've put together so far, as I believe they will be quite effective at directly addressing the questions and issues that most motorcyclists have regarding the 'black magic' of suspension setup!
***The Preliminary Outline for this clinic is as follows (and may change last minute)***
******************************************************
Identifying suspension setup goals (riding styles, bike types, track vs. street, etc.)
Recognizing improper/under-performing suspension components (spring rates, etc.)
Use of “static sag” for evaluating proper spring rates
Tire size changes, vs. chassis setup corrections
Tire pressures for performance riding, beyond the owners manual
o bike weight
o tire type
o track temperature
o wet vs. dry conditions
Slicks vs. Race DOTs, vs. Street DOTs, suspension considerations
Steering damper considerations and setup
Ride height modifications
o at-shock vs. at-chassis dimensions
o methods of modification (front/rear)
o swing-arm angle considerations
o lowering a bike, for shorter riders (considerations)
Installation/setup procedures for replacement fork springs
o progressive vs. straight-rate
o mechanical preload spacer length selection
o progressive spring install direction
o customizing spring rates, calculations, modifications
Fork seal failure, replacement procedures
Fork oil level, tuning and setup procedures
Cartridge fork emulators (Gold Valve)
o concept and components
o installation, required modifications
Aftermarket shock options
o price
o features
o adjustments
Troubleshooting of handling problems
o running wide in corners
o bottoming under hard braking
o wallowy and unstable in corners
o loss of traction under acceleration
o lack of stability and self-centering
o front-end instability (headshake)
o ground clearance
