      Dave Moss can't fully explain anything to me either, I think it gives him a feeling of superiority, it's not that hard if someone explains it fully and properly, as here. (I have a maths degree)

    • @ProphetAndLoss
      @ProphetAndLoss 15 днів тому

      That's because DM's videos are basically trailers for his website, they omit a lot of info and tbh he does say they are snippets. This video right here is great, explains well and shows!

    One of the best suspension videos out there! Totally worth watching all 26 minutes! You make rebound completely easy to understand.

    That is what I like on youtube. You watch videos talking about suspension, you find sometime a good one (like Dave Moss who can explain clearly how work suspension in 26000 words, but clearly) and suddenly out of the blue, you find a video like this one where a miracle happens. Thank you, simple and clear with wayyyyy less word!

  • @wadeblake3451

    So freakin' cool. Embarrassed that I started riding when I was 25? and have had 3 bikes during that time and never knew anything about suspension. It's awesome to have UA-cam & knowledgable, willing content makers to share info. Between this vid & one by Alberto Naska, I have a good grasp of compression & rebound.

  • @thomasblake7046
    @thomasblake7046 Рік тому +3

    Great tutorial! Suspension setup is so important, especially rebound. I'd like to add that just looking at that rear tire you can tell the rebound was too fast. When the leading edge of the tread is lower than the trailing edge, you need to slow down the rebound. If the trailing edge is lower than the leading edge you need to speed it up (decrease rebound damping) . You'll notice the trailing edge of the tread is curled up and higher than the leading edge. Classic sign of rebound being too fast. Tires always tell a story.

    Eddie,
    Your videos have been a tremendous help to me with both gaining confidence and knowledge about riding. The way you teach is very easy to comprehend and this video especially has helped my understanding of suspension. Do you have any videos about measuring/ setting sag or adjusting rear preload on the shock utilizing a spanner wrench?

    • @MotoJitsu
      @MotoJitsu  3 роки тому +1

    watched many videos about suspenssion adjustment, I just had to guess what was that about and try to copy and from there to understand the feeling on the road. Your simple comparison and examples let anyone figure out what to do to set their comfort. I heard a lot of people saying: don't play with ur suspenssion cause it's dangerous. Basicly they install a myth cause it's just for racing purpouse. Now I know for sure they have BO IDEEA WHAT THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE FOR.
    Thank you verry much!!! Your lessons are great!
