Ask Dave: Motorcycle Brake & Clutch Lever Shapes 

I wanna play with his duck too

Thanks for being willing to invest in yourself and I appreciate your comments about video content as I try to inspire as well as teach. I also appreciate you looking at the App!

Thanks, I just found his channel and glad to see his older videos now

Report back with your findings please so others can see how you benefited from testing :)

Dave Moss Tuning jobs a good 'un! Works a treat. No longer an overstreach, although I wasn't previously aware I was overstreaching... I have a problem with my hands, called dupytrens contracture. The tendons are too short on my little and ring fingers. Closing them to about 90 degrees. It's painful and a distraction after a little while, so less effort using my gnarly old paws... the better! Anyone with carpal wrist or digit issues/old injuries should use a bit of savvy when laying out their simple hand controls. I found by moving levers further up the clip on it gave me more space for gripping with my outside 2 fingers. Shorty levers with a more severe angle made it all work. It really is the simple things innit!? If it keeps dme riding happier and a bit longer then that is the best possible result! Cheers Dave.

Sir, with all due respect your are unique and therefore quite normal! We all do things our way.

I do four on both lol. I ride in traffic/commute a lot so it makes it easier on my forearms.

Great idea! We will make sure that gets created.

Dave Moss Tuning I’m excited for that! I’ve spent far too long looking over paused youtube videos screen shooting and zooming in to try and make out what it says on their track bike rear sets or levers only to find that the brand is well out of my price range.

Is the video still in the works about the good lever brands?

If this is a Yin video they must have been the Yang twins (oops, triplets)

Dave Moss Tuning, indeed.

Probably those who got their levers set up wrong but too stubborn to admit...

Greg Pearce there's always one...or two

When you’re the best there’s always haters.. Dave the top dog.. so his haters thumb down things lol but hey at least they’re giving you Views Dave

I've had a wheel weight fall off and the vibration was astounding! I prefer to balance the wheel and epoxy the weight to it which minimizes the impact of a lost wheel weight externally.

Williams replying here. Poetically, the need is directly proportional to the speed. I know a top shelf tire guy, works MotoAmerica events, sells every brand of race tire, who said with todays wheels and tires, only national level racers, which Dave Moss is, can tell the difference. But we should test it anyway.

My guess is depends on how bad out of whack the rim is. I always balance my street tires but my front wheel always needs a lot of weight and the rear needs barely if any.

As long as the bike does not creep when you put it in gear there is not a problem

@@catalystreactionsbw thank you! 🙏

100% yes. A big factor is changing brake fluid regularly as well.

100% yes, as is getting the right fork oil to stop the notorious "cupping" cruiser get from the oil being too thin.

Do tell. I assume you mean the tires? Look forward to your reply.

Engine speed will increase but actual speed will not, or engine note changes quickly under hard acceleration with loss of momentum.
