Dave I have learned so much watching your videos. I was able to tune my 2006 FJR to where it became pleasant to ride. I greatly appreciate your efforts..thank you
So, being a SuperDuke Gen1 trackday rider - what do you do with the sag settings to get the balance front and rear? As the SD doesn’t have preload front. Do you set the rear sag according to what you get on the front? I didn’t catch that after watching both of the SuperDuke premium videos. What’s a good sag interval to aim for on the Gen1? Keep up the great work! Plan to have a personal remote session as soon as thing calm down here...
Set the rear shock up correctly with 25mm rider and 10mm static for 35mm to start. Once completed, see what the front gives you as a sag number and set compression at 10-12 clicks out. Ride, and see how much travel you use.
I know this is 2 years late, I ride a 2018 Superduke 1290 daily, im 5 foot tall, if I can do it you can do it! just get used to leaning off the side and using your right foot on the rear brake to keep it from rolling away LOL
I was surprised to learn that these bikes (they're absolutely huge by the way, I pulled up behind one yesterday at a gas station, it dwarfed my street triple!) don't have adjustable preload in the front. Is that just cost cutting or is a preload not as important for bikes with a longer suspension travel?

They are hinting that you should rather change the springs than max out the preload. Too much preload will ruin sensitivity but still won't give the support of a stiffer spring. Rear preload is still there for you to setup the geometry. And you can always slide the forks in the triple trees.

And by the way, it has only 125mm suspension travel in the front. I wouldn't call that long
It vexes owners that fork preload was taken away as a option. As per Miika's point, the point is for you to buy springs rather than adjust preload correctly and then reach a point of needing stiffer or softer springs. No other manufacturer has taken fork preload adjustment away, so it would be very interesting to learn who sanctioned that unique decision.
@Richard NZ Great question! Spring go in rates of .7, .75. .8, .85, .9 etc. You can go two of the same rate or two of different rates eg: .85/.90 or .80/.75. You never jump two rates eg :.80/.90
@@mattcurtin3185 I come here to hear him be like: "THINK". My best mentors and college professors were much the same. My turn at receiving some D Moss candor: I have THIS bike and weigh 160 naked. How can I work with you, D Moss, to get this thing tamed and targeted at good old sporty street riding? It seems the standard under the seat KTM/WP suggested settings are not really the ones to use. It's wallowy. I have carbon fiber wheels that makes a difference in your setting suggestions..\ Thanks.

Dave can you do a 2018 super duke r with 1090-1290ADV swing arm & 1090-1290ADV Ohlins TTX long travel forks & shock
Any gen 3 videos on the way?
Next year at this point as we are already firmly into Fall. Woke up to 26F this morning.... lol
@@catalystreactionsbw Damn, Its still quite mild here in Northwich (UK)!
Hi dave i have a 2015 superduke 1290 is there any way the bike can be lower im 5'6
Softer fork and shock springs to start, then internal lowering with spacers to get extra if needed.
I am 5'5 tall...will I be able to handle it?? The 1290 superduke
If you lower the bike (there are many ways to do this) you can make most motorcycles work for your height.

@@madison69 yeah, its all about the confidence and the experience, right???
@@turcenoarthurjamil4364 Mine was 100% spite, was told no way I could handle the bike so I did 😂😂
Hi dave can you show ninja 250r year of 2009 ohlin fks202 n ka840 adjust in the youtube?
If we find one exactly equipped, yes.
