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.

Hey Dave,

I ran the below settings the last two days commuting to work and today for some spirited canyon riding. The only exception being that I couldn’t remove 3 turns of front preload as it is already at 0.

Happy to report the pogo effect has incredibly diminished. It is still present but to a much lesser extent. Bike feels good over some of the “whoops” due to freeway construction.

Bike feels incredibly strong under moderate to hard acceleration. Both out of turns and in straight lines. Feels like it’s on rails and just wants to go more.

I managed to drop the zip tie another 10 or more mm under some heavier breaking. Attaching a picture for reference. I don’t think I’d want it to drop more than that just for braking. Thats at least 6” of the travel when under aggressive braking. The chassis attitude adjustment I get is plenty right now.

That said I feel and visibly see the front end come up when going over bumps. Almost jumping up from them.

The rear under braking is also something new. It feels like it wants to jump up at my butt a little when braking quickly.

I can’t get a picture of the rear travel however I can see a distinct dirt line on the shaft approximately 10mm above the ~30mm thick bump stop. The rest is clean.

I tried one different setting for rebound on both the front and back separately. The front I went 1/4 so it was 1 whole turn out from hard. A little less jumpy over bumps with very little negative affects to it.

And then I tried 1 click slower rebound in the rear so 7 out instead of 8. It further eliminated the pogo but the rear felt a bit harsher. Not by a lot but noticeable.

Hey, Dave

Hope you are doing well.

Was hoping to give some feedback on our session 2 weeks ago and see if you had any suggestions. I rode the bike for 1 week as we left it from our session and then added 2 rounds to the rear preload which made the ride very bumpy and had little free sag in the rear. I went back down 3/4 round and the bike settled in nicely. Im also now running 36f/36r air pressures instead of factory 34/42. Current sag numbers are as follows

Rear. Front

596. 132

586. 104

560. 97

Bike is a lot more nimble turning and is better balanced front to rear, less swat under harder acceleration. Still a fairly bumpy ride, feels like from front end maybe and new geometry has made front end a bit nervous. Front zip tie is 40mm from bottom out. I really appreciate you taking the time for our FaceTime and really enjoyed our session.

Thanks again.

Michael Hack, USA

Hi Dave,

I bought a 2021 MT-10 - mostly street rider but plan on taking it to the track for Yamaha Champs school and possibly additional track days.

Per your video helping the street rider on the MT-10, I attempted to move the forks up in the triple clamp - using the rings as a guide. I measured with a vernier caliper and had 24.53 and 24.71 mm left and right respectively.

I have also set the rebound, preload and compression to the same settings you provided in the video.

Thanks for the awesome content.
