Suspension systems on today’s sportbikes offer an unmatched variety of
adjustments, but understanding how those adjustments work, and how to combine
them to tailor your motorcycle to your riding style can be just as challenging
as riding well. That’s why many riders never try to make the most of their
bike’s high-tech suspension—simply because they don’t know where to start or are
afraid of making their bike handle worse rather than better. Now, in the first
book that specifically addresses sportbike suspension systems, Andrew Trevitt,
senior editor of Sport Rider magazine and a former roadracer, guides you
through the process of setting up your bike ’s suspension to suit your riding
style.
Sportbike Suspension Tuning covers the basics—setting static sag for
your weight—as well as more subtle and advanced adjustments, such as how to
optimize rear-end squat. A comprehensive discussion on chassis geometry,
suspension technology, and the many interactions among adjustments helps
demystify suspension tuning. Andrew also explains how to analyze various
handling symptoms and make adjustments to correct them. Plus, he offers specific
setup techniques for both the street and the track.
You will be amazed by how much better your bike will feel after its
suspension is correctly set up, and by how much more confident your riding will
be with the improved handling. Sportbike Suspension Tuning will give you
the necessary skills to experience the difference.
