Unless your suspension has no adjustments

@@chrishart8548 Motorbikes suspensions are all adjustable... Name one motorbike that doesn’t (at the very least, mechanical pre-load settings in the rear). Plus springs can be changed, fork oil weight (cheap), tyre pressures, the list goes on. Unless you are talking about one from the start of last century? Check out The video done a while back on the early MT-07. No “adjustment” at the front however with a few simple changes you can act they the bike to handle to an acceptable level. From the factory they are.... not so good. I can speak first hand one that one as I’ve done the same work on a few friends bikes. Night and day difference. Good luck.

@@marcusgeorge1825 f800gs has no adjustment on the front i wouldn't say changing spring is an adjustment. More like an alteration. On the rear I have pre load but I'm only going to set correct sag then that's it. More pre load than you need is horrible. More or less locks out the suspension so it's just solid.

@@chrishart8548 All good then. That’s a nice all round, mid-size and spec adventure bike. What year is yours? As if memory serves me correctly from around 2014 doesn’t it also (along with adjustable rear pre-load) come with adjustable rear rebound settings? With an option for fully automatic suspension settings? I must admit that in 40 years of riding that I’ve never really gotten into the adventure market or anything that is ok at everything, just doesn’t excel at the same time at anything. For me, if I want something for the track then I’ll use one of my race bikes, if I want to properly tackle off-road then I’ll use a dirt bike and if I want something comfortable for the road then I’ll use a naked or sports tourer for that. Horses for courses I guess. At the end of the day all I was saying that the knowledge that men like both Dave’s have is hard to come by. The payoff for the help provided by DMT (or any person(s) of that caliber) is money well spent. For example, the person who first got me into racing in the early 90’s, was not only an ex Australian champion (who also became my first race team manager), he also had the same level of knowledge and experience that DMT have. So my learning curve was steep. These days I pass on the same basic principles I was taught in bike setups, for different riders wanting their own bikes to “behave better” and am still learning more everyday. It really doesn’t matter what you ride or what your capabilities are at there is always room for improvement. 👍😎🇦🇺

@@marcusgeorge1825 it's a 2014 it has ESA so I can select comfort or sport. And normal. But that certainly is not having a night vs day on the overall effect of the bikes set up. I find most roads are so badly maintained I'm happy having 9.1 " suspension travel 21" front wire wheel . It has the dynamic pack and comfort pack. I also have a honda XR250R 1996 model. Dry sump oil in frame model.

@@CatalystReactionSBW Great! Thanks, I missed those vids.

Dave Williams, editor, replying here. The woman in this video is in that weight range. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9-ibLhmycDeqZc.html

Set compression at 50% of the total range. Preload is then used to get to 15-20mm of full travel. Once in that zone, compression can be manipulated as needed for trail braking. As you improve your skills, preload and compression need to be revisited to sustain optimal travel.

That is possible as a test if it is clear that doing this will not be disruptive to the chassis or create adverse handling.

If you are only using 20% of your suspension the bike is beating you up. If you use 100% of your suspension you are riding with a very high risk of loosing control over big bumps. Assess fork and shock travel used asap.

Not that serious but yes its personal opinion for more serious riders and comfort. Most ppl never touch it.

Are you an english teacher? If so we're not at school, so nobody cares

@@lucarides Think about people learning English, (not "english") from some Muppet that can't speak English (not "english").

@@hughjaanus6680 BROOOO he's showing us how to setup fucking motorcycle suspension, did you got the message? ok. The title of the video isn't "I SHOW YOU HOW I SPEAK ENGLISH" now stop that, I'm already bored, goodbye.

@@lucarides Set up fucking motorcycle suspension, not setup fucking motorcycle suspension.

@@hughjaanus6680 thank you
