This video is Eight years old and still holds weight as if it were gold. Thank you so much sir for sharing this information!!! I surfed Psychobike back in 2006 on and off over the years. I'm truly glad you're still doing well sir and are blessed! Much love and thank you for everything you've done for the drag/street bike community over the years.
👍 vid Brock immediately shows. In direct explanation at to what I personally am doing wrong and what others may or may not be doing right. Also gives clear view there's more to rider feel than sitting the bike.
Stock wheelbase bikes do not require as much 'squat', because they are not as prone to spinning. Since more squat leads to additional traction, this can also cause stock wheelbase bikes to wheelie. As a result, we would have a bit more static spring pressure dialed in, with more compression dampening and less rebound dampening (to force the front end back down).
I had never seen how the shock absorber rebound dampening function before. I was the 501st one to like the video. lol Thank you very much for all your videos.
Very similar. The rebound dampening is almost identical and any adjustment shown in this video can be duplicated. We have a high speed compression dampening which works well 90% of the applications we encounter. It is an excellent alternative for the cost conscious purchaser.
@@alexm668 Glad you like our products and vids. Your question depends upon what type of riding you are doing and what problems you are having...and where. Most high-end shocks will have high and low-speed compression dampening while most rebound is handled with a single adjustment. As a general rule, if you are having traction problems off of the line, slow down (increase) your rebound. Down track, reduce rebound and increase compression. High and low adjustments can get tricky, and quite frankly..you are just guessing if you are not logging shock data (linear potentiometer on shock, wheel and clutch speed...etc) as you make the changes. Of course, you can always measure your clicks now(so you can go back later if needed) and try different adjustments to see how you and the bike react. I hope this helps - BD
Thanks Brock! It on a stock wheelbase bike, so there is enough grip off the line. So it sounds like I can leave it alone unless the track is bumpy in the deep end. Thanks again
I follow his instructions on the bandit ohlins with my turbo it felt like a 6” extension it helped willies so much it’s a huge difference. Buy the shock before u do the extensions !!! Especially if u wanna keep it streetable
Great information Sir and I'm definitely subscribed to your channel and I'm definitely adding this to my likes list. Great job Mr. Brock and keep up the good work 👍👍
Erick, The stock shocks don't have the adjustment capabilities that the Dragshock does, so you wouldn't be able to have this set up without the Dragshock.
The BEST thing you can do is get your suspension setup by someone who knows what they are doing it will improve your riding so much drag or road ride or racetrack lap
Jeremy teasley is the man. need more credit here Brock...... D.M.E. chose him to substitute the loss of Joey. but long before that, he has prove, he is above most!!!
What an excellent video , well explained in simple terms. I'm currently looking for a top quality rear drag shock for my 66 inch supercharged busa. That ohlins looks excellent. Can you give me a price for a brocks ohlins delivered to England please ? I will look into it further. Thanks again , add 1 sub from England.
Hey I've got a fully built 2000 zx9r. I'm have problems on the 8th track. I've got a 6in stretch and the front in has 30 weight race oil so it doest move and it sit about 4 inches off the ground.When I launch off the tree it makes it about 50-60 foot and goes strait up in the air. Can u tell me how to keep it down.
scrappy echols did you watch the video? if you did you should come to the conclusion that you might want to adjust your rebound dampening in the rear to come up slower. if you can't get it slow enough with the shock you have installed, purchase this drag shock
Hey brock good stuff, I have a 03 gixxer , lowered and stretched, street/dragbike, the stock shocks rebound comes up to fast after fully adjusted, is there any other shock that I can use to fix this, don't have a big budget for a expensive drag shock at the moment?
Hello @Zahir Shah. I believe you will find this information very informative: facebook.com/TheBrockDavidson/media_set?set=a.155985564429780.39631.100000550137534&type=3 (Please note: a 17 tooth countershaft is listed, this is a misprint - we run a 16 tooth. All else is correct)
@@BrockDavidson sorry mate, I ended up here trying to find out what was going on a short of a bike at a drag strip, Someone had a battery air pump hooked to a valve on the swing arm.
Hello! Can you please tell me why after I have lowered the bike and moved the real wheel a little bit to the back, the wheel starded to spin at launch? The rear shock is set at minimul at compression and maximum on rebound. New road with lots of grip, never spin any road tyre before this. The new tyre is a Shinko Hook Pro(1.8bar). I suspect the rear spring is a little stiff for me?(143 lbs) Here ia a video with the launching. Thanks a lot! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zJ9vO39-09I.html
Launch looks good to me? One thing - on the short bikes, we run compression and rebound close to all stiff. The shinko will damage your MPH greatly - only use it if you have track conditions with little or no traction.
@@BrockDavidson Well that launch was ok, beacause i have lowered the tyre pressure and the starting rpms. On my others Dunlop strert tyres I ran over 2.6bar in pressure and never got a wheel spin. That's why I suspected that after I have moved the wheel a little bit to the back it will not get enough grip. The national championship down here is held on a concrete airport, that's why I have bought the Shinko.
@@SherSlabescu the fastest guys run 7-8 PSI ( .48 bar) in the hook-ups ... try that and your traction problems will disappear (...to be replaced by new/exciting ones!).
