Personally I think dave moss is a knob. You need to watch his videos of rebuilding a gsxr track bike. I wouldn't let him fix a shopping trolly.

Never watched that one, and you could be right, however adjusting settings and ergonomics is way different than rebuilding a bike.

The programmer vs technician debate comes to mind, they can make computers do wonders, but I wouldn't want them to own so much as a screwdriver.

How many Programmers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Answer:  None, it's a hardware problem...

 At first I thought it was a spoof or windup video but the way he strips and trys to fix things is unbelievable since he calls himself an expert. There's a few videos.

For those of us with the later model KECS system, the default settings for compression and rebound are likely just fine for most situations, however, if you have an older model with manually adjustable suspension, make sure your settings are set where they work best for your weight and road conditions. I have a set of Penske 4-Way adjustable shocks on a race car, so understanding what is what is crucial. The objective of all suspension tuning is to ensure consistent wheel loads. It's the consistency of the loads on the front and rear tire contact patch that leads to a stable and predictable bike. As mentioned, the spring rate doesn't change with preload, but by adjusting compression and rebound, you can have a bike that works well in many different conditions. If you don't like the feel of what you've got, start moving stuff around.
