No worries mate. Glad to help with the content. Oh and don't worry about the 6838, youtube added that, I didn't choose it. I'll freely admit I am too lazy to experiment with different bikes and tweaking every little thing. I found one base setup I use on pretty much everything with minor tweaks depending on the track and track conditions so there are likely better setups for different bikes. It's all down to what works for you the individual. I've played against people and no idea how they pull some of the corner speeds they so and still hold the line. Next thing you need to do is play with the gear ratios a bit. Really track dependent, can help maximize acceleration vs top speed. Ideally you want to JUST max out your top gear for the fastest/longest straight on the track. Big difference between short tracks like Valencia, Tsukuba etc vs long/high speed tracks like Monza, Mugello and Road America. Speaking of RA, you posted 22nd on the leaderboard, getting too close, I'm 18th with a 2:07.149 (gamertag is cggunnersmate). Have to improve now
Yeah! I Really need to play around with gear ratios now to get a bit of an idea and feel for that! Okay now that I know I'm close to your times I'll have to keep an eye out on the timing screens for you! I agree i have seen some people in different lobbies come flying through the corners and absolutely holding the gas flat! i don't get how they don't run wide. It would also be good to see the leader boards split up those that are using pro physics so you can get a more accurate feel for where your time sits against others with similar times!
I just realized I'd never done a time attack round Magny Cours in this class of bike and it's one of favorite tracks. So I chased your ghost round it and posted 1:36.405. 41st on the leaderboard and I think I can pull some more time out. I think a high 1:35 should be fairly doable. Did it on the X-Trenta of course. By far my best bike. Milestone, please give us back Phillip Island in a DLC! And feel free to throw in more MotoGP tracks into Ride 5 if you can. Catalunya, Jerez, Aragon. I'm one of the weirdos that likes Motegi. Or even some former tracks like Brno. It was always one of my favorites in MotoGP games.
Wow 🎉 looks like I got some more training to do. Haha! Yeah I'll have to give the trenta a go and follow your ghost and see what I can learn! Yes it would be great to have more tracks that align with different championships like wsbk and MotoGP and definitely need Phillip island in a motorbike game ! I also like motegi even though my go career mode results have never reflected it I do think it's a great track! Brno! Classic ! Need that in the game for sure
@@cs38racing Phillip Island was in every previous Ride game but was dropped for R5 for some reason. Must be a licensing issue but Milestone does have the license to use it in the GP games. I just want more proper race courses. I don't like the "real world" tracks like Kanto, Stelvio, Nevada and French Riviera and TBH I hate the UK Real Roadracing circuits like NW200, Southern 100 and Ulster. I don't like the Nordschleife either. I don't like all the walls, hedges, curbs etc.
@@cs38racing Meh, track familiarity has alot to do with it. I was just chasing you round Fuji. I'm with or slightly ahead of you until turns 9-14 I just can't hang. I'm a second off your best and it's all in those last 5 corners. I haven't done many laps at Fuji. Road America, Magny-Cours, Valencia and Portimao are my favorites in this game (still want P.I. back). A number of tracks I need to put more time in. Fuji, Vallelunga, Almeria (full course is a 3 and half minute lap on a Superbike FFS).
I think setups help maximize your potential, but at the end of the day, we’re all human. Every lap is going to be different from the last and have variation. I was doing this exactly same testing earlier for a base setup I found. Done a lap with default, then one with the setup. First lap with the setup went really well and I was about a second and a half faster. Second lap, missed some apexes, made some mistakes, and was within .20 of the default. Unless you’re super consistent at the game, which most of us aren’t because we can’t time braking zones and turn ins to a T, then I don’t think a setup will help too much.
Yeah this is a really great point! I find that if I really concentrate I'm normally 0.5 +- of my times. I do feel it can help increase feeling, which ride 5 for me at least doesn't have the greatest feel. But with GP I find set-ups can often distract me and make me slower. Interesting right?
@@cs38racing I’m usually pretty consistent, but, the bike tends to not act the same way every time. I’ve even found that sometimes when I brake for a corner that I’ve braked in the same spot for hundreds of times, that one time it’ll just go barreling past and off track. Granted. I do run all of my electronics at two, just because I shake a lot, so I have some difficulty with keeping the throttle and brake steady. Even at that, though, I feel that the consistency of the bikes themselves seem to be kind of off. I think your issue with GP could be that you haven’t fine tuned the setup to your style. No one has the exact same style, so there’s no one size fits all setup. That being said, I’m still too lazy and dumb to figure out a setup suited for me, so I just used the setup Morton’s posted. I went back and found the one the guy shared with you, and I’m going to give it a shot tomorrow.
I does allow you to extract more potential out of the bike. Not only helps you improve the laptime but also your feeling with the bike giving you more consistency.
Set up 100% improves times. No question about it. Consistency more so. All bikes tune different so randomly playing with set ups without knowing what you are doing isnt gonna help or improve times. Using someine elses setup won't work 99% of the time either as everyone plays different. Basically the default settings are far from ideal & handling can be vasly improved, & therefore times, with the right settings. All classes of bikes tune differently for optimum performance so a set up on a 250 is not gonna suit a 1000. A naked set up won't suit a faringed bike. A Ducati tune won't suit a BMW, etc.
I have to say it certainly made me quicker in this video! But as I have put more hours into the game and have been switching between games more frequently I'm surprised to say that I do agree. I think this is a good start as a base setting to then adjust off, from what I've found anyway! But like you mention everyone's riding style is different so I think it just takes time to know your style and then adjust accordingly!
In this class "road legal" Superbikes not race modded, the Ducati V4 Super Leggera is a BEAST in a straight line. It straight murders all the I4's down a long straight. I've found only one bike that can match or even beat it in speed and that's the Aprilia RSV4 X-Trenta. Unless I completely botch my run onto a long straight, no I4, even in the draft, can keep up. Must be how Bautista felt in World Superbike, racing Rea and Razgatlioglu last year. RM superbikes I think the 2023 M1000RR has the highest top speed.
Ha HA Yes Bautista for sure would have felt that before they slugged the extra 7kg onto the bike! But I guess Bulega can experience that now! haha. but yes the V4 just keeps accelerating and stretching its legs! the Trenta is its biggest competition for sure!
Short answer... no it won't make you faster. You're not going to find seconds just changing your setup... the only advantage it could potentially make you more comfortable with certain bikes. But overall for this game is just about understanding the best lines and let the bike run using the least amount of braking possible
I Agree with the second part of what your saying! i think that it important to understand the best lines, although different lines can offer different pros and cons, but based on my small amount of testing i can say that if you find a setup that works and in conjunction with knowing your lines it can shave a few seconds of your time! Well at least it did for me!

Yeah 🤣 I can totally relate to the set ups being individual and also being to lazy to fine tune it to my style, but I probably should 😂

Neglected apexes
always room for improvement am a right? I'm happy that i found something that added some more feel to the game and helped to improve my lat times!
OFC improves your time
Now I know 😂
Ride 5 is so much better than moto gp
I do like aspects of Ride 5 and GP but i do like the diversity of bikes and tracks in the Ride 5 game!
Short answer... no it won't make you faster.
You're not going to find seconds just changing your setup... the only advantage it could potentially make you more comfortable with certain bikes. But overall for this game is just about understanding the best lines and let the bike run using the least amount of braking possible
