Dave Moss raced the Triumph 675R for years and knows it like every square inch of his glorious birthday suit. There's a great treatise on rebound tire wear, another on street vs track and commuting vs canyons, etc etc. - Sport
That is a DOPE Yamaha Anniversary Edition style Arai helmet! I'm JEALOUS!
Dave Moss is my favorite Brit expat who moved to Oregon and then eventually to Cali / suspension tuner / sushi connoisseur / roast beef po-boy lover / world traveler / and all around cool bloke. There - I said it. :) Oh! And come back on the show soon! Chris B - Pitpassradio
I like to see and know. You are very good at driving, so you can drive smoothly and well in the city.

Dave Moss do you have a video on tuning the 2008-2010 zx10r suspension? If so could you please post the link.
Dave Williams, editor, replying here. These 2 videos feature the 08-10 ZX-10R.

Hello Dave
I have 1299s 10000miles and about 10 track days
How often I need to replace the fork oils ?
You should replace your fork oil 1-2 times every 2 years. Unless you're racing there's no need to go crazy. Honestly, I track my bike 1-2 times a month for 7-8 months in the year and I've never had dirty oil when I do my annual service... the oil is certainly tainted (not new looking) but it's not like "wow, thank goodness I'm servicing this". At my pace too, there's little to no increase in performance with fresh oil. When you have your fork serviced see if the oil was worth replacing. Typically the more expensive oils (like Ohlins brand) stay cleaner for longer. If the oil you're replacing was fairly clean then you know, at your pace, you can wait longer till the next one. So maybe instead of every 12 months, you can delay servicing to every 16 or 18 months.
The issue is oil viscosity change over time from cold to hot. As the oil breaks down, the viscosity range increases. As that occurs, you need to change rebound damping to compensate for the thinner hot oil.
Wonder what a ttx goes for. Im happy w revalve n spring on my stocky lol
Linear links can make a stock shock much sharper. Well worth the investment, especially if you like your stock shock, vs a $1350 TTX or whatever they cost now-a-days.
Used 675R TTX goes for $500 to 600
hey Dave! i just got my suspension serviced by a professional . i also changed a rear spring because the stock one was hard for me according to the professional! my bike is a daytona 675 2008 and i weight 85 kg with gear. after i got it done i measured sag according to your way and i found. REAR: 8mm free sag and 34mm total rider sag and FROND: 13mm free sag and 23 mm total rider sag. I feel the bike much better but the numbers look strange to me... Before the suspension service my sag was 30mm front and 32mm rear, also the bike was not comfortable , now it absorbs the bumps better. so how the bike feels softer now but the sag numbers show the opposite????
Different springs allow more travel so the ride is more comfortable. You should b using 75-80% of available travel now, so have you checked fork and shock travel used?
@@CatalystReactionSBW I have checked fork travel and under hard braking there is 20mm left until bottom.i dont know how to check shock travel. But the strang is that in the front before the service i had 30mm total sag and now that the bike feels softer i have 22mm total sag! Also you say that it should be 30-40mm front and rear, mine is 23 front and 34 rear . The bike feels much better than before but the numbers seem strange to me according to your videos! I mostly do canyons and occasionally track days!
@@nikos.kouts3 I understand that the numbers are unusual but the bike is riding well. This is what you need compared to what mathematics say is a starting point. Shock travel - look at the shock shaft inside the spring and se what is dirty vs clean. Ideal is 2-3mm from the bottom.
@@CatalystReactionSBW ok i will check the shock too ! Also when i press the whole bike like you show , it compresses like one piece and very nicely dispite the different sag numbers front and rear!
@@CatalystReactionSBW So as a conclusion you say that since i use 70-80% of available travel with my driving style i shouldnt care much about the sag numbers that are missmatched. AM i right? also the travel i use desnt have to do with the compression damping?
2:23 with how much this guy is getting from dave's reaction, im sitting here wondering if I'll get looks for potentially buying a twin stx 36 for the old 1987 gs450l that i paid 400$ for this year LOL
I hear you're a Mancunian Dave!? Where-a-bouts did you grow up? I'm a Stretford lad.
Didsbury!
@@CatalystReactionSBW It's all wine bars and hipsters now. Small world hey.
