Finally an explaination that makes sense. Great video.

Yup. As usual, you have simplified a topic which is quite confusing to most of us. Thanks.

One of the best suspension videos out there! Totally worth watching all 26 minutes! You make rebound completely easy to understand.

With no disrespect I watch Dave Moss video's over and over and cant fully understand anything, This video blew me away I totally understand so much better now Excellent, Thank you

@LANKY123 Месяц назад

Dave Moss can't fully explain anything to me either, I think it gives him a feeling of superiority, it's not that hard if someone explains it fully and properly, as here. (I have a maths degree)

@ProphetAndLoss Месяц назад

That's because DM's videos are basically trailers for his website, they omit a lot of info and tbh he does say they are snippets. This video right here is great, explains well and shows!

That is what I like on youtube. You watch videos talking about suspension, you find sometime a good one (like Dave Moss who can explain clearly how work suspension in 26000 words, but clearly) and suddenly out of the blue, you find a video like this one where a miracle happens. Thank you, simple and clear with wayyyyy less word!

@kevinstreet5709 5 лет назад

Great video Eddie, have watched alot of vids on suspension set up ,2 click's out bennetts, etc but this is by far the best on rebound damping, plain English. and explaining it should return quickly and settle, thanks mate

Thank you from Australia Eddy. I have found your site extremely educational as a new rider. Your advice has been invaluable. I am now practicing my basics in a car park and looking forward to learning more from you as I go. I will also be enrolling in courses in the near future to help improve my riding skills as I continue to enjoy learning and hopefully improving my abilities with my bike. Thank you again

I have watched so many videos on how to set up motorbike suspension and none if them made much sense and then I watched your video, I now understand how suspension works...FANTASTIC....thank you!;)

@JohnWesleyAustin 4 года назад

So freakin' cool. Embarrassed that I started riding when I was 25? and have had 3 bikes during that time and never knew anything about suspension. It's awesome to have RU-vid & knowledgable, willing content makers to share info. Between this vid & one by Alberto Naska, I have a good grasp of compression & rebound.

@thomasblake7046 Год назад

Great tutorial! Suspension setup is so important, especially rebound. I'd like to add that just looking at that rear tire you can tell the rebound was too fast. When the leading edge of the tread is lower than the trailing edge, you need to slow down the rebound. If the trailing edge is lower than the leading edge you need to speed it up (decrease rebound damping) . You'll notice the trailing edge of the tread is curled up and higher than the leading edge. Classic sign of rebound being too fast. Tires always tell a story.

@B235RViggen 5 лет назад

This is a good video to explain the mechanics - thanks for putting this out there. It may be worthwhile to note that rider sag (preload) needs to be set to spec BEFORE compression and rebound is adjusted. It may be a bummer for new riders since setting sag generally requires help from another person, but it is the basis of suspension setting. Ask MOM (Motorcycle Owner's Manual) for the sag settings, and then dive into the compression and rebound. BTW, the TEN setting is not really a Japanese term. It's "Tension" (vs. Compression). It's just that the word "rebound" is more widely used in the US. Also of note is that there is no ONE perfect setting for suspension. Setting requirements will change from all sorts of aspects - road surfaces, rider weight, cargo, riding style, tyres, etc.

@MotoJitsu 5 лет назад

Thanks and in Total Control we do Rebound 1st...then sag. Either way, have a professional set it up who actually know what they’re doing

@deadslow201 5 лет назад

In cheap stock street suspension TEN is tension because there is cross flow between compression and rebound flow. So, when you adjust tension, you mainly adjust rebound, but you adjust also a bit of compression, because there is no backpressure valves which would create totally separate compression and rebound flow circuits. A common solution in track/race suspension front fork setup is that you have compression in one tube, and rebound on the other tube. Then you have completely separate compression and rebound flows. And in a track/race rear shock you have backpressure valves, which creates totally separate compression and rebound flows. It does not matter if you adjust sag before or after you have adjusted damping settings, because damping settings will not affect to you sag.

@BertoldSzekeres 3 года назад

Yep, preload needs to be set first.

@Wesley-ci8qk 2 года назад

So I'm confused. In the video you said anyone can adjust and now your saying you should consult a pro? Do you recommend getting a pro only to adjust? Thanks

@aldo5658 Год назад

Wow such a thorough masterpiece ! Just received that book and has a wealth of information and ur book has a couple drills to master (turns & handling) Can't wait to start wrenching on my suspension!

@ericmowrey6872 4 года назад

Great video. I respectfully disagree with your verdict on the 1st bike you checked out. A bouncy rebound on a non-adjustable fork can often be cured with a higher viscosity fork oil. You can go, for example, from 5W to 10W or even to 15W and see a marked improvement. I work on a lot of '80s vintage sports bikes and this method works quite well.

@MotoJitsu 4 года назад

Thanks!! Share it with fellow riders! MotoJitsu.com

@GreenBeats11 3 года назад

From watching Dave Moss videos, the damping should be similar between front and rear as well. In this example, the rear damping is too fast and should be turned in 2-3 clicks more.

@MotoJitsu 3 года назад

it's a setting to where it's supposed to be and the test on how is what I'm talking about. MotoJitsu.com for my App, books, discounts, etc.

@jeffo_511 2 года назад

For riding street that damping looked good. But for track it’s still to fast. Should come back a little slower. Agree 1-2 more clicks. But great video! And def got this guy closer to a SAFE setup over what he started with. Good job man. Awesome how u take the time to educate people.

watched many videos about suspenssion adjustment, I just had to guess what was that about and try to copy and from there to understand the feeling on the road. Your simple comparison and examples let anyone figure out what to do to set their comfort. I heard a lot of people saying: don't play with ur suspenssion cause it's dangerous. Basicly they install a myth cause it's just for racing purpouse. Now I know for sure they have BO IDEEA WHAT THE ADJUSTMENTS ARE FOR. Thank you verry much!!! Your lessons are great!

Eddie, Your videos have been a tremendous help to me with both gaining confidence and knowledge about riding. The way you teach is very easy to comprehend and this video especially has helped my understanding of suspension. Do you have any videos about measuring/ setting sag or adjusting rear preload on the shock utilizing a spanner wrench?

@MotoJitsu 4 года назад

great to hear! Nothing about that...read Total Control 2nd Edition by Lee Parks...he has 2 chapters on suspension and the second one tells you how to do it all
