Amazing! He’s a great coach, straight forward and honest. Even though my time with him was short, not one second of the whole hour was wasted. He gauges where you are skill wise and adjusts as needed. Got my list to work on. The videos are great!!! He is truly dedicated to helping riders in this industry.

Thanks for showing me the process of how to learn; having a ‘map’ of how to approach it. I understand it is a process and a dynamic one over time and changing conditions but now feel I have a better understanding of what/how and why each setting should be approached. I like starting with one thing and changing it 25% and then another +25%, making notes and arriving at too much one way or the other and then working back and forth in smaller increments to find the right setting. As my understanding grows and the fear of unknown goes away with experience I am now confident I will soon have a setup that both works and gets the bike geometry with me on it to work in balance. Today’s ride after two days worth of stop/settings change/start/stop was fantastic, best the bike has ever felt.

Dave set up my bike the improvement is unbelievable, I’d recommend anyone who rides get it set up by dave.

Dave!

My Ducati Streetfighter hasn’t felt right in a long time. The last 5-6 rides had me doubting my skills - “am I losing it??”.

After having Dave Moss set up my Streetfighter 848 at Thunderhill yesterday, I ran it out to the bridge today for a shakedown with the boys around Lake Berryessa.

Prior to today, she simply was not turning in and I was fighting her at every corner.

Well, as expected... Dave FIXED it. Telepathic is a word I’ve used before to describe how my bikes feel after the Dave Moss effect. Today was no different. I feel like the the old me again.

Dave,

After a few days and some miles I have noticed two maybe three differences. Before I get into that I'll tell you how much adjusting I had to do to meet your recommendations.

Forks preload was already adjusted well but I believe 5 out is a little more preload than I had before. Rebound was maxed out now backed off 4 clicks.

Rear preload was maxed out and rebound exactly what you had recommended.

1. High speed handlebar wobble gone. I almost thought I needed a damper. Don't know if your changes could have helped but wobble seems to have gone away.

2. Seem to be able do steer it where I want to easier. Before I was wide without a lot of effort now it seems easier.

3. Takes bumps easier but again I had that fork preload maxed.

Oh one more thing, right before adjustments I felt like the front tire was sliding on moderate intersection turns but that's gone. Road debris?

I wish I could get on a track and really get a good feel but so far so good. Going to do a 2 up ride up a fun road here (yarnell hill) soon that I've done before. I'm sure it will be better this go around.

Thanks again. Dave, I'll tell all I can about your service. Its rare I meet a biker who actually touches the suspension adjustments and I don't understand.

Best wishes!
Charles.

Hi Dave,

Just a belated update. I have adjusted the suspension to your settings and what a difference!

The dealer would not adjust the rear spring so I am having a "C" spanner made to do the job myself. For your reference they did adjust the rear shock for track and the bike lost that planted feel on the back so I have reset back to your setting!

In the meantime I was going to experiment with your tyre pressure settings or would you suggest I wait until I have adjusted the spring?

I have to say the bike is so much better to ride and has not lost any of that feel and sweet handling and I also keep my fillings! Thank you for your advise so far and I will update you after the rear spring has been adjusted.

Many Thanks,

Duncan
