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.

Scott Peterson

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

Dave,

Can't thank you guys enough for all the videos.

Paying someone to perform magic on your bike is great.

But learning the magic yourself is much better!

Barenstark Racing

Wasn't my best day at Buttonwillow yesterday, but 28/28 worked otherwise very well for me.

Gotta give it to you - again!

All the turns I felt insecure about... bike was on rails, never giving me an inch of doubt. I beautifully felt the bike working under me and with me, every input.

Daren Cummings, US

Wow, this has been a crazy year for me but I've finally been able to get my suspension rebuilt.

I put in a set of RaceTech 1.0kg front springs, the new springs were nearly 2" longer than stock so I had to trim the preload spacers. I didn't feel comfortable with how little spacer would be left removing the entire 2" so I compromised and took 1.75". I used Motul Expert 10W-medium with an air gap of 109.5mm with springs and both spacers in. Also replaced my bushings, seals, and dust caps. Thanks to your videos I felt confident doing it myself and the mechanic in me had a blast.

I took your advice and purchased a used shock on ebay and sent it to DMr suspension. They resprung to a 12.55kg spring, revalved, rebuilt, and dyno'd the shock.

Using what I've learned from your videos and referencing them on occasion I've gone from worn out suspension built for a lighter rider to a comfortable ride that handles world's above. My confidence is up, my skill level is no longer feeling stagnant, and I'm back to enjoying riding!

Thanks to your advice and knowledge I've fallen in love with my bike again, and I'm much safer riding.

Thank you, Mr Moss, for offering all this knowledge.

Hi Dave,

Much appreciate you taking time to answer one too lazy to go through your many videos for the info. To add to the volume of praise you no doubt receive, in 50 yrs of motorcycling (survived 6yrs of distance courier work on a Gpz900R in 1980s UK), I have never found so much relevant, expert and succinctly articulated info on the most important facet of motorcycling (interface between road & bike) as I have in the last 18 months since finding your videos on YouTube. I cannot commend you enough for making your valuable expertise available to the general motorcycling public and transforming what used to be (for most of us) a hit and miss affair into a common-sense approach to gaining complete confidence in our machines.

What a fantastic video! I’ve often had the situation at BMW dealers when my bike was in for service, and they gave me a loan bike, they always had to adjust the gear shift pedal because my Daytona Evo boots wouldn’t fit between the rest and the pedal. I figured it out about the clutch and brake levers because when I picked up the bike, the service guy fiddled with the levers until I was happy. I never ever thought about the ergonomics so much until I watched this video. You sound like you’re from the UK, though I think I detected a possible antipodean accent (or maybe even South African). No matter, you’re a great guy who all of us can tap into thanks to this video and no doubt others. Thanks for this.

Jesse Vena

Hello dear Sir. I was just marveling at all this incredible and invaluable info you so kindly give to us scoot enthusiasts. Once again, Endless Thanks. :) I am trying currently to secure a 06' Speed Triple. 16k on it and clip on bars that feel perfect. Another.. erm, 'less scientific' ..channel.. is saying exactly 180 degrees off of what you make perfect sense of here. Ahhh... the internet. That aside, I must say, I was initially startled about throwing 42psi in the front after being brainwashed into somehow thinking they would mushroom cloud if pushed past 40. Lol..

@Dave Moss Tuning hi Dave , yeah I’m from the north east and could pick up a bit of your accent still! Great videos mate! I’ve just bought a 2017 r6. I’ve finally decided to get on the road at 41, I’ve ridden motox on and off for about 20 years . Your videos are bang on and I’m going to get my bike set up to myself thanks 👌

John August:

Thank you for the Great results!!! The bike has a much more linear feel throughout its lean angle range. The bike is much more composed at lean and not diving into the turn on its own. I am able to apply throttle earlier with much more consistent results and therefore more confidence.

TexasTrill

It does kinda make ya feel boss when you go out for a Sunday morning group and a couple newer riders are complaining about how the bike is handling. You do a quick adjustment for them and it changes everything. It does get to me a little that most riders never mess with how much static sag the bike has. The geometry and physics of handling all begin there.

i been going straight to motorcycle servicing shops and letting them do it, but now and then i have caught them doing dodges... and now im trying to learn myself how to do things..... i never know it was that simple to check if a chain needs replacing - so glad i have come across this video it was so EASY to understand thank you so much

Ákos Frast

Hi Dave! I would let you know i found your video extremely detailed and still understandable and enjoyable. I ended up with Premium subscription on your page, i think this is a well done intro job from you.

MARK HAUSKNECHT commented: "Dave the Sage! I'm going out to Diavel with tape measure in moments. I have adj, levers, never knew how adj. them until now."

Hazim Reitz

This guy is probably the reason I'm going to rebuild my calipers. What a chap!!! Knowledge that potentially could save lives. I know it might sound cheesy.. but when you only have the go and not the stop, the track ends eventually.
