suspension set up schools

[Robert Taylor]

I have mooted this idea very recently ( and also taken flak from those who say I am too open, or is that honest? )

Recent events including a workload that is worse than mental, family bereavement, a forthcoming relocation of town and business and a pending trip to Europe have conspired to place this on the backburner for a bit.

BUT, I fully intend to honour this when I am on an even keel. With the race guys perhaps this can somehow be combined at the upcoming meetings as an evening activity, with particular emphasis in helping the Pro Twins riders. And the road / track day riders as stand alone seminars.

Please everyone accept my apologies in not being able to offer this as soon as would be desirable. BUT I am always approachable for assistance in set - up info and dont have a ''mercenary'' mentality in asking for money for everything that I do.

Always willing to learn more about keeping my bike tip top... count me in for a track rider seminar when it comes around.

Where are you relocating to?

[Grahameeboy]

Auckland, North Shore is lovely...............

I would be interested in set up help...............for my bike that is.

I probably need firmer springers both ends.

When you get around to it I would be keen to attend a road/track day riders seminar.

I've been too busy to look at much on KB so appreciate busy.

But I'll subscribe to this thread so when it is resurrected I would be keen.
cheers

Anywhere has got to be better than Hawera (ok maybe not Huntly or Otara or Ruatoria but you know what I mean). I look forward to seeing something like that done cos I know I'd benefit from it.

Wont that be fantastic

Yeah. Looking forward to that. I think I have my bike set up pretty well right now - will be nice to be shown exactly how wrong I am

Frosty, why dont you put your heads together and do suspension set up schools?

I am very keen to hear how you define ''OPTIMISING'' suspension and to what level?

As I would hope you are well aware there is a whole load more to optimising suspension than to just say twirling clickers, changing the odd spring and setting oil levels. It is therefore VERY important that people engaged in trackside tuning are totally transparent about to what level they can do this work to themselves and beyond that outsourcing detailed internal work to those specifically trained, geared up and experienced in doing so.

When you choose a suspension tuner it is worth asking searching questions, particularly in the MX world there are a lot of people misrepresenting themselves as the full deal.

Here in the road race world I had a guy who sold a few shocks for me and at the same time he was running around having everyone beleive he was the Ohlins main man in NZ. ( and he knows who he is ) There is only one Ohlins distributor into NZ, yours truly. No bu..s..t, no baggage and amenable to everyones questions. While I do indeed work with most of the very top guys I will help anyone who comes and asks me. Despite that same guy having told all and sundry Im only interested in the top guys.

Honesty and an even temperament are great virtues. There is a place for other tuners but one would reasonably expect them to have those very virtues.

Sorry to dissappoint but those with the banjo's and a weakness for modern moonshine effected their deliverance elsewhere sometime ago.

Yes thats a nice little town and I have in the past stopped there often for coffee. When the relocation happens we will be offering the most complete and well equipped, experienced and qualified suspension service in NZ. Not only the blue chip products but also a service to rebuild and improve standard units.
