We just surpassed 100k subs here on RUclips! Your participation is elevating Suspension to a mainstream topic in the motorcycle community. Thanks for taking you and your ride to the next level, and helping Dave save a life every day.
Ducati's new SuperSport is an absolutely beautiful machine, and the true embodiment of "sport touring." Dave tunes a couple of S models in this episode, which feature Ohlins forks and shock.
I have no idea what's going on, I just like watching this dude explain stuff.
Thanks for watching and subliminally soaking it all up :)
Nobody knows what going on bc he speaks to you like you have his same knowledge.. just let him do what he does and trust its going to work.
@@mannyfel8324 actually he speaks as if you have basic motorcycle knowledge, which one could argue (especially when riding at track-level) you SHOULD already know. He also breaks down WHY things are happening the way they are, BECAUSE of the settings that were set, and HOW to adjust them yourself after the fact. I'd love to take my bike to him, but I live in the midwest.
Great channel full of knowledge!

I like that Dave warned the guy to be careful to increase his buffer while he was getting used to the changes
This guy taught me so much in 30 min, gunna have to watch this video multiple times to absorb everything!
Thanks for watching. Make sure you take notes of what you are doing by task, so you can refer back to the information! the more you practice the easier this becomes.
I dare say that was the best intro I’ve seen thus far
I have the white Supersport S and Dave helped me to set it up. Brilliant :) I do recommend. Thanks Dave!
I have the same bike. Anytime you're in Kent, Dave - Perhaps, Brands :)
Dave these videos are so helpful!!! Best content online!
Thank you very much for posting and sharing your thoughts.
Watching up to 18:30 it is amazing to see the interaction between the novice and the master.
How Dave tries to impart 30 years of learning in as simple a form and the learner trying to grasp concept of the suck it and see or if you've ever had an eye exam the better or worse.
Dave, watching your videos made me realise how wrong the set-up on my VFR800 was. Adjusting correctly made me fall back in love with riding again, thank you from Preston, UK
When I'm going to upgrade to a bigger bike (now 125cc) i will definitely get an online tune.. I think its just fascinating seeing Dave setting motorcycles up for others.. Doesnt matter if he just sets the levers and bar into the right position or adjusting a race bikes suspension! Keep the great work up, mate! Greets from Germany..
are you eyeing any particular bike?
@@dennisrkb too many great bikes out there... could think of at least 20 possible ones.. i have to definitely do a lot of test rides.. in general i love sumos, sportbikes, nakedbikes and dual sport bikes.. especially the tenere 700 for dual sport bikes
Hi Dave , Rana here .
I really appreciate the selfless information rendered by the vdos uploaded which are very genuine in content knowledge and sharing . I highly approve ur vdos for all riders to learn just like me . Wish you all the best in future too ..Thanx from my side once again . Keep up with the honest good work .👍
I find it interesting that most of the adjustments to the Ohlins suspensions on these two bikes pretty much brought the rebound and compressions settings back to the OEM settings when the bikes were originally sold to the customers. Rear Rebound is 14 out, and Compression is 12 out. Front forks are set to 6 Rebound and 16 Compression. He decreased Compression by 1 click, and brought their front preloads a bit lower than stock (5 turns instead of 7), but, for the most part, nearly back to the OEM settings.
The red bike must have just been horrible to ride, front preload set to max combined with nearly no rebound at all, front or rear.
Yeah a normal person doesn't really need to touch compression and rebound for the street.
I had to chuckle around 22:43, as he politely re-phrases: 'dude - your bike is stoned...' and does it on the fly. Marvelous touch and given the [highway] 101 reference, probobly on the money.
Insanely good... shows how a bit of patience and dialing in can give you a completely different bike.
Congrats! Your knowledge is just incredible.... Wish I knew just a fraction of this with my first bikes....
I hope that you will start your own journey that will last you your entire motorcycle life and this video will help you take the first steps: ruclips.net/video/0kCGoDjtnM4/видео.html
Very useful video. Every bike should have a Dave.
Congrats on 100k fairly certain Dave is some kind of wizard!
Clear and methodical - nicely done.
Thanks for this video Dave, it's given me the confidence to work with the settings, immediately I understood the rear of my SS was set way of whack!
Thanks for getting your sleeves rolled up and getting to work. What did you change and where did you end up? You guidance can help riders worldwide!
A Master class on tuning the suspension for my 950S Supersport! Thank you Maestro Dave!

Congrats Dave 💐
I have this bike and no idea WTF he's saying but man he knows everything.
Dave Moss is absolutely the guy id want to workon my bikeqnd to teach meas much as he could share for knowledge.
dam, this guy is a wealth of knowledge.
This Man is so smart and simple its rediculous.🎉
Thanks for watching!
Same bike, same tires and mountain roads (in Spain) too I´ll use your advise. Thank you very much.
Love the intro....dave is such a gangster.
Haha congrats Dave&Dave 🙏🏻🥳
Dave your a Fu&%ing Legend lad. Ride safe.
Hello Dave, congrats on the 100k and thank you for this great free video! For the white Ducati my approach would have been to take out compression to get more travel out of the forks. I was surprised you took out more preload because in the beginning you said that the front was way too soft. Could you help me out and tell me why you went with less preload rather than less compression? Thanks a lot!
Kickass content as always !
Congrats Dave!
Fantastic video
Fantastic intro!! Congratulations!!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic
luckily I'm the same weight as the second guy so I get to set my suspension up for free!
Another awesome video master dave...
Thank you!
I’m going to replicate these settings and fine tune it from here and I’m 210lb solid. My setup is so bad that I get bucked 2”-3” going over bumps so I have to squeeze the tank really hard. Thank you Dave and I’ll be contacting you here in the future for some more adjustments for my Supersport S!!!
Please share the settings you choose so you in turn can helps others!
Thank you for this 🎼🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great video ! Time for a long video on the Street Triple 765 RS ;-)
I am thinking about that the second guy is still alive with previous setting of suspension LMAO :D :D
ADHD affects comfortable tire pressure. As you limeys would say, ‘Absolutely Brilliant ’!

You have to come to greece to setup my suspension 😋 .
I have a Yamaha YZF R6 2006 stock suspension,
I have not found anyone who can adjust my suspesion properly ,
I did something myself and it is much better now ,
but still not properly setup.
now i'm almost at the factory standards settings but a little changed to suit me , but still not good enough for me
Did you ever service your forks/shock? If not, start with that. If you ever come to Crete, hit me up.
@@dennisrkb yes I have serviced the suspensions both front and rear
@@WhiteShadow92RideSafe if you're in athens, got to piaggio Katehaki 44-46, ask for Lukas
@@dennisrkb ok i know this store thx
"wow, oh ok", "right", "exactly" but how much of what he's teaching do the students actually understand?... taking notes was a good idea. 👍
Man dave awesome awesome description and breakdown of everything you are doing to the bike.
A good video to explain the reason why car suspension is not adjustable..... :-D
Did you say that in colder weather, you need a lower cold tyre pressure and in summer you need a higher cold tyre pressure? I thought the idea would be to have a consistent “mid ride” pressure. The above instruction would result in much higher pressure on a simmer ride than on a winter one.
In Winter, cold dense air measures up to 3 psi less than a hot day. In effect, lowering to "cold pressures" in Summer is lowering the pressure in general.
@@catalystreactionsbw Ideal Gas Law - fixed mass of gas, pressure will increase as temperature increases. 34 psi on a summer morning “cold pressure test” will increase close to 40 psi by lunchtime on a ride. 34 psi on a winter morning “cold pressure test” will not be anywhere near as high, maybe 36-37. The goal is to have your tyres at the optimal pressure during a ride in any temperature. For this to happen, you need less pressure in your tyres in summer that you do in winter ( measured when the tyre is cold).
Thank you so much Dave, 34 psi in my rs10 tires feel so much better. Feels like lots of grip and still nimble. What wheel chock is that? I would like to get one. And maybe next spring I would like to have a tuning session with you to get my r1m setup to me. You are amazing!

Would you not have unlocked a bit more travel by backing the compression out another click?
Great question. Fine tuning compression is an individual choice, so there is that consideration. It is also part of a testing regimen where some riders will want to define their settings.
Great video - thank you Dave! What is the weight of the first rider?
don't understand how is low tire pressure amplify bumps, walking speeds may be. when tire deforms on the imperfection, it can't come back to original form that fast, by this little delay tire is already rolled on and reforming patch of the tire is not at contact with the road so I beleive it can't effect the bike. otherwise soft carcass tires should be unfomfortable than hard ones but are they?
Hi.
Can you show how you adjusted the compression on the front at the handlebars.
Compression is the 3mm allen in the center of the preload nut on the left fork. It is always taken to maximum/right and then you count back. This video shows the princiruclips.net/video/LSG3c5sNEDQp/видео.htmlles:
Does these bikes come with fabric settings or has someone been adjusting it along the way. I have a SS 2019 model - so it would be interesting to know base settings. ( and riders weight for these settings )
congrats dave
This guy doing the teaching is so smart at what he does. he knows how everything effects everything with the suspension. but as a teacher he is to fast. he blurts out things so quickly, you do this and you do that and it will effect this and effect that. just turn that twice and and bring this up and it will effect this and that. and I feel like I can understand what he is saying while he is saying it, but remembering it is another story. and there is something about the way he says things that makes the guy who's listening want to say yes right right like he's getting it all. its like years of knowledge and experience he is supposed to get in a few minutes time, but the guy listening doesn't want to come off as stupid so he says yea yea right right. but as soon as he drives away he's probably thinking now what do I do. because the information came at him so fast that he was just overwhelmed by it all. but he was to intimidated to say slow down and say that again. and he's going to look at his phone and think ok what is it I'm supposed to do now. you can tell the guy who's bike it is was overwhelmed. but he was to intimidated to go over the information enough times until he actual got it clear in his mind. so he just said yea yea right right. because the guy doing the teaching teaches in a little bit of a condescending way. making the guy feel stupid if he doesn't get it right away.
Maybe so, but I’m sure Dave would be happy to clarify if asked. He insists on careful adjustment and testing, not just applying wizardry, and to save and share protocols with other riders (and why). It’s worth butting your head against it and be confused and seeking clarity. His methods are Socratic. Asking why why why. That all sounds reasonable.
My bike's forks only have the preload and rebound. What is the difference compared to those with forks having just rebound and compression, and forks with preload and compression.
Do these fork adjustments hint anything on what kind of springs are being used on the forks?
Preload and rebound are the important settings so you can control the fork. Compression can be managed with oil viscosity and height/volume. Compression is nice to have so you can adjust bump compliance.
@@catalystreactionsbw Thanks sir!
Second portion (red bike) settings from video:
Rear Shock:
Pre-Load Not Addressed
Compression (Bottom clicker) Counterclockwise-Left 16 clicks
Rebound (Top clicker) Counterclockwise-Left 14 clicks
Front Fork:
Preload (Big wrench) Clockwise-Right 5 turns
Rebound (Small allen key) Counterclockwise-Left 7 clicks (He counted 3 out loud but looked like he did 7?)
Compression not addressed?
I will try these settings and report back if anyone is interested.
2018 SuperSport S (2nd Owner).
I'm 6' 200lbs, so the gentleman in the video was much lighter at 145lbs.
Heavier rider = more preload. Not sure which direction to bias for heavier people, absolute amateur here.
When they talk about tyre pressure is in psi or what crazy measuring thing they have in USA?
@Tommy Salami Thank you
Dave Williams, editor, replying here. Sorry for that. I've gotten lazy about putting the Bar conversion in a text box. Thx for the comment. Lets me know that doing so is helpful to people. 1 psi = .07 Bar
@@catalystreactionsbw Thank you!
So much sense! Simple. 😩
How did you find the heat underseat? I see a lot of comments about this so keen to hear your thoughts
I did not have an issue personally but riding every day you become insensitive to such things.
@@catalystreactionsbw thank you for the reply. Tossing up on on the SSS , do like the new Aprillia RS660 though
The RS is a gem of a bike: ruclips.net/video/yXNYA4t14sY/видео.html. You will need to replace the rear shock fairly quickly
@@catalystreactionsbw thanks … appreciate your experience
I’m in the same boat but his computer brain sorts out all the combos. I run 34 psi in the front and 36 psi in the rear.
Roll up the sleeves and have a go, then change pressures for the following week. You never know what you might discover when you step outside the bubble :)
@@catalystreactionsbw Possibly but a General default setting as a starting position would be good. I was told by the guy I bought the bike off 34psi front/36 rear was the recommended set-up.
Wow. Is this normal services available around the world at reputable tracks for a commission?
If so, I'm more than glad to pay real good money for this service if that's typical, and if not I think folks willing to pay this premium to learn and then be able to adjust settings ourselves or revisit with user error/forgetfulness. What an incredible service
And fuck me, his training and coaching is spot on how an ignorant fuck like me would learn, and again.... glad to pay for services due of time if I'm stupid and didn't notate or question before. Amazing
Love that you recognize your audience, too. Second dude had no fucks give about tweaking and just flexing $$. He's why people smoke themselves/bike/others. Factory really needs to make this a normal, NEEDED service, smfh
Covid stopped my International travel to assist riders with schools, seminars, events and 1-1 help for road and track. I developed Remote Tuning via video for 1-1 help in the interim so if you are home, on a ride or a the track I can help you. The cost is $80 for 30 minutes.

@@catalystreactionsbw I'll keep it in mind for when I have a shed to do some maintenance myself..
Didnt understand a word Dave was saying...😅
hahaha what a legend.. "max tire pressure is 36" .. "who said that".."who cares"
What is goaty? On a SS? What. Gravel road?
A very rough road, never repaved, always temporarily repaired.
@@catalystreactionsbw I need my hypermotard done. It keeps trying to buck me off. Think the rebound is too high. When is the next time you are in north California? I'm in Sacramento.
@@kenkl5204 I am trying to arrange one more event in Sacramento for November. It will be posted here: davemosstuning.com/calendar/
@@catalystreactionsbw what's the price?
@@catalystreactionsbw would willows be better? It's a 2ht ride. Where would you go to in Sac?
Does the front tire really run the correct direction? To me it seems the profile should turn the other way around.
🤔
Some tires do look confusing with tread patterns, but the arrow tells the story of the direction it must go. The front has to be the bow and "part the waters so the rear has less to deal with. That type of perspective can help see why there is a difference.
Just ride the dam thing 😆
I feel like I would misunderstood Dave and make him angry any minute if I brought my bike to him.
Sorry you have that perception. I remember where I came from - zero knowledge - and help people the best I can in person and via the web, even riders who do not know what a screwdriver is. I want everyone to get started on this journey so they are more comfortable, have a better performing motorcycle and are safer in a crisis.
But what about us poors with the base model? haha.
Go to a chiropractor and get your spine adjusted after all the rough ride from basic suspension.. Works for me 😂
I would think that by now semi active suspension with a good onboard computer should take all the work off the rider....With ample sensors on the bike to measure what is going on? The computer could even suggest preload settings....man I just do not want to "learn" suspension tuning! I want to pay extra money and have the BIKE adjust things! Like it does for fueling ya know? You USED to have know a lot about jetting all the throttle phases and with elevation changes or various other changes it could be a total complete PITA! But nowadays? Easy peasy lemon squeezy the comptuer does it all! So why not suspension too! My Yamaha has semiactive suspension and while Idk it is ideal or even close to it it does at least seem okay....only reason I question what is going on is the front tread is scalloping or whatever the right term is and I am lost as to why? Tire pressure? preload? idk
The scalloping is rebound being too fast and that is a fault of the coding in the computer. You can change fork oil to a heavier viscosity as that is far cheaper than and ECU hack and fix. You can try another 3psi in the front and test that as a stand alone.
Dave, on that white Supersport front tyre it was the trailing edge of the tyre tread that was worn yet you suggested rebound was too little. Everything I've seen from you until now has said that rebound is too little if the Leading edge is worn as with the rear tyre on this bike. Can you clarify please, is it the leading or trailing edge or possible either? Thanks
Thanks for the comment. As the rear was creating a massive load on the front tire via weight transfer, that load transfer "squished" the front tire and released it. As such the weight transfer not the damping, loaded the tire. If the tire is subject to load transfer over damping then wear needs to be considered in the big picture vs a microcosm. Yes, leading edge worn = rebound too fast.
@@catalystreactionsbw Thanks Dave, so the analysis of lack of rebound on the front was totally separate from the tyre wear indications in this case and was shown clearly by the pogo effect evident. I pick up something new every time I watch one of you videos.
I like watching the n00bs try and figure out what Dave wants to hear / the right answer. Not many are successful
Is this guy Forest Gump or am I wrong ?
Is there anybody out there that can tell me how to get this fucking bike out of urban riding mode. I've been working on it for 2 days with the owner's manual and it stays stuck in urban mode and I can't get it into sport mode. What the fuck is going on with this fucking bike

Rider does not like a stiff suspension. He set this up to ride nice and soft before talking to Dave Moss.at the track. He won't like the changes.
he is annoyingly Intuitive with this stuff,
