I can remember almost every race from those days.Definitely one of the fastest guys of his time , but due to the kawasaki breaking down This guy would have been a world champion! Also one dirty move by John Kaczynski lol! These were my favorite years of world superbike!

Im amazed how well he can explain this without any other visual other than his hands.
These videos could never be too long. I could watch this for hours, the more technical detail the better. I've been a mechanic for over 30 years so I love this stuff. I could only imagine the hours and hours the riders and teams would go over the data to find the perfect setup for the race. Keep up the good work, Cheers.
I only just stumbled onto one of Simon Crafar's videos.... now I can't stop watching. What a great quality resource. Thanks Simon.
Simon is one of the best things about Moto GP.
This is so fascinating. I´ve always appreciated the rider and finest engineering elements combined.
He has so much knowledge and it blows me away .
Wow, so interesting. Crafar is a legend
Just listened to the podcast. I could listen to hours and hours of all that, bike by bike. The OW01, RC30 and 45s. The endurance stuff. Ohlins. As technical as possible, you do that so well! Keep at it Si' mate... you are a proper highlight in motoGP. You are nailing it. Look forward to books and road tests and oldskool track tests and more. Keep busy as all your content is gold. Awesome wee series I think will go much further!
Keep it going!
Wonderfull to know how technical a rider as to go!
You show not only extensive knowledge of this subject but also the skills to put it simple and understandable!
Thank you Simon and MotoGP!
Love Simon’s easy eloquent explanations
Simon, a fantastic explanation of a very technical subject.
You are doing a tremendous job at MotoGP and I very much enjoy your Tech Talks.
Anyone that rides a motorcycle will appreciate this
@@bibothor206 Most current superbike has throttle maps, wheele control, slide control and adjustable engine breaking.
Bibo Thor traction control etc engine braking. Most of these features are in my street triple RS and superbike. I ride on track and road so these things relate
paul hawkins exactly my superbike has all these features
Bibo Thor in your opinion
Bibo Thor go look at the new R1 and the settings app etc
Honor+respect Simon and tech talk crew!
Thx
These tech talks help me a lot when it comes to playing the video game.
Thank you Simon for the podcast, it is a must listen to for everyone. Your story brought back my old memories of my early days love affair of Motorcycles. Plus to everyone out there, if you're not watching the MotoGP practice session One, Two so on, you're missing out on a lot of very cool information that takes watching MotoGP, 2 & 3 to another level. Simon adds so much "color" to everything, the back story of the Factories, Riders and Tech, mind blowing stuff. Cheers!
I dont want this to end..can't wait for the next class in session!
Is been a long time since i was trying to get some info about the electronics level of Moto2.
Great vid!
Thats fantastic! More Simons tech talk, please 😀 His explanations are awesome.
Simon is such a good asset for MotoGP; thanks for doing it!
Amazing simon. I like really like your explanation you understand all of it, especially in the video about gearbox I really like it, remind me all the sim racing game that I've played when I tune the gear gearbox setup. 😁
Llike those very interesting explanations. I could not retain them, but they show how intricate it can be for the engineers and the pilot to obtain a satisfactory set-up and how much the dialog must be important and detailed to obtain "max" performance, which includes much more than "max speed". Thanks and congratulations to Mr Crafar...
Nicely done, easy to understand
I love watching these tech talk vids. Continue to make more of them
One of the best contents by motogp.
This series is the best.
Thanks Simon. I had so idea that Moto2 had so many ( or so adjustable) electronic controls. Really enjoy tour work on telecasts too.
Very good explanation. I am happy you are covering MotoGP now!
Thanks Simon really informative, makes my Fireblade electronics look primitive, I bet that system isn’t cheap.👍🏻
Can you make a video describing the differences between MotoGP bikes? Handling, power, cornering, top speed, pros and cons of each, etc.
Thank you Simon, so well explained and interesting. Please keep up the “Tech Talk”. Love it. Cheers Marty from Melbourne🇦🇺
i can’t believe that simon had to introduce himself. the guys a legend
Thank you for the Tech Talk Simon 👏👏👏
More videos like that, please! Waiting for the explanation about electronics of moto3 and motoGP. Thanks! :)
Great insights from a top bloke 👍
I wish he was my Teacher in school. So well explained.
Great stuff! Thanks Simon
So Cool Simon, so good explanations and videos
fascinating. really is the word. so good to get this level of information 'made simple' for us mortals. keep up the good work people!
Awesome stuff Simon. keep it up!
I remember you Simon. Great racer.
thanks for taking the time for explaining
Great !
These are fantastic!! I hit the like button before I even start the video!!
Simon is the man!
More Simon please!
Simon, well explanation 👍
Very well appreciated
Outstanding, thank you!
Outstanding Simon mind blowing just how quickly all this tech is changing the riding experience! How is it playing out with suspension is the electronics being used to aid performance in any way? or just data collection? The rule book must be struggling to keep up!
love these techtalks! =)
Thanks for the pinned comment, and they are great , excellent work y’all Especially Simon 💯🙏👊
Excellent!!
that's quite interesting. perks of having a fly by wire throttle control with different maps per gear. on the contrary, i get what i put into on my carbureted zx6r XD, was quite scary at times when going over a bump in the middle of a corner in 1st gear and suddenly deploying more throttle than intended, due to the bump.
Brilliant!
Love this info Simon
Very interesting 👍
Is the engine braking electronics a part of the slipper clutch ajustments?
Great one Si!
Does this mean if you dyno a bike. Depending on your Suspension setup on the dyno, you will get a different read out for hp and torque curve.? And your wheel base size? Tires too? Or none of those things matter on dyno?.
Does they have ERS control switches like f1 on their bikes??
Good one keep up the great work ;-)
On high horsepower turbo engine race car where traction control via wheel-speed feedback is not permissible, boost per gear is one of the option same as throttle map per gear thing.
oh i found a new guru 🙏🙏🙏
this man is a goat
Bro..the reason u said engine braking helps turn is the counter roatating crank???..moto 2 has it too??
Yrs. Clicked on the link from the pinned Comment and it says currently not available ….,,?🙏🙏👊😊😊
Dynavolt amazing
I seriously thought he said TIKTOK when he said 'Tech talk' 🤣 🤣 🤣
How did engenbrake worke technikel????
A modern MotoGP rider does not need soo big experience ,they just need to know how the electronics work. When it was 2-stroke bikes at the 80 and 90: ies it was the opposite, they did`nt need to know anything about the electronics ( cause there was´nt any) they just need much experience and BIG BIG balls to drive that almost undriveable 500cc, 200 hp/120 kg, 2-stroke bike :) Those were the times !!!!
What's the difference between Moto2 and other Moto numbers?
I was one to bitch about Simon after he replaced Dylan..but now i just love the guy.
But in his first season, he really was terrible. I think coming into a commentary team of FAST talking Brits, he felt pressure to emulate that...and failed. It's cliché, but once Simon relaxed and was just himself, he really shone and he's an asset to MotoGP.
We need a startup video
Engine braking....🤔 Now, what ever happened to compression releases?? 🧐 Going down a steep downhill in the dirt, pressing the lever on my Ducati. Ahhhh, the dust. C.R. seem to disappear around 1973
I remember passing my bike test in 1989 and when I got a 500cc Honda I though there was something wrong with it due to engine braking. I knew nothing about it then.
#TechTalk with Andrew 'Pope' Cody
Do the Moto GP riders prefer modern electronics? Two identical bikes two riders, may the best man win.
What he said #TechTalk
What i heard #tiktok 😂 🤣
P. S. I'm Not a #tiktok user 👤
Haha
CRAFARS A BOSS 😆😊☺😆😊
Mick Doohan: "Just give me a 2-stroke screamer mode, ya sissy!"
Miss the 2 -strokes in motoGP =(
Lol.
love the avitar Mick is that your mrs. Kitty or yours
I can't believe people are asking who is Simon crafar. 🤦
who is he ????
@@dimassamid2075 Yo mama
Lol 😂
Your kidding in America 70% of the people don't even know how many states there are. As for motorcycle racing come on 90% of the people don't even know who Agostini is much less Fogarty Doohan Dunlop . Simon doesn't seem upset by it. He takes it in stride "Fair enough" only just linking to some podcast they should do a video on who Simon is he deserves it
I liked this tic tok guy.
you're kidding me. EACH gear has a different MAP for each CORNER of the track?? Talk about ULTIMATE control
Yeah... But they don't have to program it that much. For example you don't need an entire track worth of fine tuning for 6th gear... Same for other gears...
@@jake8217 still, that's amazing. I wish my bike had preprogrammed mapping on my commute to work
@@areurdytoparty we could wish... BTW Since you might find this interesting... Before 2015, electronics in motogp was at an insanely high level. For example, in one of the race inannone accidently activated the rain mode on his factory ducati. So he was very slow at the start of the race... But slowly slowly the bike understood what was going on and readjusted the settings and he gained back the pace... Absolutely insane...
Somehow this sounded more confusing than it had to be.
Give me that carbon fiber !!! Damn...
Can you be my lecturer?
Komen 3
Like 81
:) :) ;)
#🇦🇺😍😍😍👍👍👍
Just get rid of electronics altogether, let the rider's skills dominate.
Não tem graça, o negócio é motor a combustão. Corrida é corrida... Tem que ter alma. Esses motos não tem alma. Fora do motogp, maldito globalismo.
So painful to listen to his rambling
