Description
Motorcycle set-up is often treated like a mysterious “dark art,” but applying a few fundamental principles quickly removes the guesswork. Students learn practical techniques for optimizing chassis performance for off-road, road riding and track use. They develop an advanced understanding of suspension behaviour, chassis tuning, and methods for maximizing grip.
1. Adjuster Function and Operation:
- Understand how each suspension adjuster works and how to use it to produce predictable handling changes.
2. Sag Setup:
- Learn the purpose of sag, how to measure it accurately, and how to set it correctly for rider weight to achieve proper chassis balance.
3. Stiction Assessment:
- Measure suspension stiction and identify when excessive friction is reducing suspension performance and grip.
4. Geometry Tuning:
- Understand how geometry influences motorcycle handling and apply adjustments to improve stability, agility, and rider confidence.
5. Linkage Design:
- Recognise how different linkage systems influence suspension behavior and overall chassis dynamics.
6. Tyre Performance:
- Understand how tyres generate grip, how to maximise tyre performance, and how to identify and address common tyre-related problems.
- Riders and home mechanics who want the knowledge and confidence to correctly set up their own motorcycles.
- Racers and track day riders seeking a deeper, performance-focused understanding of chassis dynamics and machine set-up.
- Race team technicians looking to refine their suspension tuning and diagnostic skills.
- University students interested in the practical application of vehicle dynamics and motorcycle engineering.
- Motorcycle dealers and workshop technicians aiming to expand their capabilities and deliver advanced suspension setup and tuning services to customers.
