Street Tuning:
This program is aimed at street riders only and has no bearing to either
track days or race events. The assumption is that these motorcycles
will never see the track, so a basic set up will reflect the rider’s
weight and the optimization of hydraulics based on the stock springs
in the forks and shock.
In most
cases this is done in a seminar format, whether at a dealer event or
at a predetermined date for riding groups, but there are occasional
opportunities for riders to show up at track day events and have their
motorcycle set up.
In some
cases it will be very evident that there is a self evident inadequacy
in components, so a clear explanation of why that inadequacy exists
will be provided so that the individual can make an educated assessment
as to what should be corrected and in what sequence based on budgetary
concerns.
In very
few cases will geometry be altered in this program as the bikes have
many and varied uses and may never see the accelerated speeds and turning
requirements of the track.
The goal
is to ensure that the rider understands what adjustability their motorcycle
has, what those adjustment mean and lastly, why the adjustments are
necessary.
