Race Tuning:
This program is for racers only in order to optimize the motorcycle chassis for each track raced on. Track set up will be based on a brand/size of tires to be used for the entire season to remove the geometry variables created by tire construction and circumference. Cold tire pressures will be monitored for pressure gain and temperature throughout the day to build a database to optimize tire wear.

Prior to any testing to hone the chassis, the rider must acquire adequate gearing so that the motorcycle will not hit the rev limiter in 6th gear on the fastest sections of the track. Without this no true testing can be completed.

The initial set up will include an evaluation of the motorcycle to check for strengths and weaknesses of the chassis in terms of geometry, spring rates and hydraulics. Any weakness must be corrected by re-springing and re-valving as needed, but compromise settings can be used in the interim as a band aid for a maximum of two race weekends.

The initial geometric set up of the chassis will be based on the tires used. Subsequently, rider SAG and hydraulics will be used to manage the chassis to match the rider’s idiosyncrasies of riding style. Once the chassis has been optimized, all settings will be recorded onto the CRST race sheet. Those sheets will be retained for the season, and when returning to the same track the last fastest settings will be installed into the motorcycle.
