    Best explanation of suspension I've heard. You deserve a university teaching position.

  • @elmerrsv4
    @elmerrsv4 4 роки тому +33

    I think for a part two of this video it would be interesting to show what some adjustments to the suspension do to the behavior of the bike. And what kind of changes you have to make to the suspension to solve some common problems experienced during racing.

    Excellent video, but I have to correct you on one thing said @ 19:20. The total K value for 2 springs in parallel (side by side) is the sum of both K values, NOT the average of the two. If spring #1 has a k = 95, and spring #2 has a k = 100, the K_equivalent will be 195.
    I can derive it for proof:
    Spring 1 and Spring 2 are in parallel, so they will both be compressed the same distance x when a force is applied.
    So the total force is F_total = F_1 + F_2
    Recall for springs, the Force = k(x); (k value times distance x)
    So we can substitute original F_total equation and say, F_total = k_1(x) + k_2(x); (remember distance compressed is the same x since they're parallel springs)
    Factor out the x distance, we have:
    F_total = (k_1 + k_2)(x)
    Therefore, with the equation above, we can conclude that equivalent or total spring constant k for parallel springs is k_1 + k_2 = k_total
    I remember you mentioned that you would of liked to be an engineer if you didn't choose racing in a past video, so thought you might of enjoyed this!
    Cheers from California.

    Yeah this was definitely the best suspension video I've seen. I watched a handful today and all the others started just rambling on about things that experienced folks would know, rather than INTRODUCING the concepts, despite the videos saying "all you need to know", "101", and "explained." Thank you very much!

    Even for somewhat sportive road riding the suspension makes a lot of difference, at least in confidence. My bike as undersprung for my weight and riding style, and without knowing it the rear shock was damaged internally.
    After having these issues fixed I found myself making naughty kneedowns on some of my favourite roads (which I only did on track before (and is probably smarter to only to there)).
    Changes made: replacement rear shock with stronger spring. Stronger springs in front fork, adjusted compression shims.
    Costs: ~100 euros for the rear spring, ~250 euros for the front end work.
    (replacement shock under warranty)
    Difference in confidence/joy: priceless.
    Invest in your suspension before getting all kinds of louder exhausts (in fact, just don't do this...) and other shiny accessories.

It is a very deep rabbit hole is motorcycle chassis dynamics, but your explanations are brilliant. Very generous of you to take the time to make these instructional vids and in your second language. Loved your Andreani factory tour by the way. Kid in a candy shop place indeed! Good luck with your racing.

    Hey Alberto, Excellent video! I 3d modeling & diagrams of the various suspension components combined with your photos of the actual physical components was very helpful, but the high quality digital simulations you used to help identify and explain the different components that a modern suspension system is made up of, how they function when in use and the effect that they can have on the performance and handling characteristics of a motorcycle were awesome!! All of the visual aids, combined with you're great explanations of all of the different parts of the system; their features, characteristics and even how to adjust them, def makes this one of the best mc suspension videos I've seen yet!! Thank you👍👍
    Great Job & best of luck to you this season!!!🙌
    Btw, I'd also be interested in seeing a part 2 as Elmer suggested.

    @balazsbarany6745 4 роки тому

    I'm a mechanical engineering student, and I've learned that both gases and fluids are compressible, but in the cases of most fluids, the amount of energy needed to compress them (by little!) is huge. That's why it is a good approximation to say they are uncompressible. Anyway, I'm sure that in such serious cases they calculate with it.
    The explanations in the video were professional, thank you for working with it!

    Should i get a small bike and start practicing on small tracks(go kart tracks) etc or i should start practicing with my 600

    Hi Alberto, thank you for your videos. I think your content is one of the best in youtube, I learn a lot from you! I know you get a lot of comments, but who knows maybe you will notice mine... I have just bought a Kawasaki H2SXSE and I have heard a lot of comments that it really needs a steering damper. I don't ride on the track that often, but I do ride a lot in Germany with no speed limit. Do you think its worth to install it? Or its useless outside of the track? Thank you!

    I think the bicycle suspension does have the shims at 16:25, they are located just above the bypass, do you see? The animation even has them open during compression on the left :-) On the other hand, the rebound shim seems much thicker, not opening much it looks like.

  • @tmcuong93
    @tmcuong93 3 роки тому

    Something I need to clear out:
    - Adjusting rebound and commpression does change the speed of the spring. But when we apply a fix amount of force but in 2 different periods: very long and very short time; the suspension will travel differently
    - Adjust preload doesn't change the spring stiffness; the only way is to change the spring.
    Or I have a miscomception.
    Very very helpful video, bro!!

    Hi naska hope you are doing well, i have been watching your videos because I’ve learned so much by watching and listening to tips and mistakes u have made in the past, as a new rider like myself at the moment i wanna thank you for starter.
    So i have a question, i have recently purchased a 2012 R1 and the previous owner have it lowered one down for stock hight, i remembered watching one of ur videos and you were saying to adjust saddle hight to the rider’s hight and adjust handles out if possible, but I’m being told by my friends that with it lowered it will affect cornering and that i should get it raise back to stock hight for better handling. Is this true and do u recommend raising it back to stock hight ?
    I am 188 pounds and 5’.9” tall.
    Thanks in advance!

    How I understand it:
    Spring -- For up and down movement and to comeback to its original state.
    Shock absorber -- To slow down up and down movement and reduce bounce using friction and other factors.
