Just a little follow up with the Dave Moss dvd's on suspension.
In case you missed it, the dvd's are available at:
sportbikewrench.com
For a 15% discount use discount code: tufbusa
Also, Keith Code's new dvd "Twist of the Wrist II" is available on this site (Use the same discount code). I purchased this dvd and found it to be full of good sound information about cornering. I'd recommend it to everyone from beginners to hard core track guys. He goes into great detail on the importance of proper throttle control, when to apply throttle and how much etc. Good stuff!
For those of you who purchased Dave's dvd's on suspension, let's hear your feedback!

anywho...I only got through the first disc before nighty night...At first I was just blown away by all of the jargon...of course they are words we all have heard..like compression, sag, springs, clicks and such...but Dave Moss goes through how all of that translates to what the tire is doing on the surface...and how very very very very important all of that is...he goes into how all of that can be read on the tires...cold tears versus hot tears...tires skipping versus ploughing...on and on...You will have to watch it several times for all of it to melt into the cellulose that is left upstairs...can't wait to watch it tonight...Tuff...thanks for the heads up...for example...I always thought the "chicken hawks" were all about getting the tires warm before going out on the track for traction...but the other purpose...which is also a very important component of treating a tire correctly are heat cycles...put the chicken hawks on immediately after tracking them so the tire doesn't cool down and go through an additional heat/cooling cycle...D Moss shows what tires look like that go through heat/cool cycles...oily patches very evident on the surface of the tire.. he also describes to us that a chain that doesn't have one inch of slack in it will cause binding during severe braking which will then basically neutralize the rear shock and put all of the stress on the tire...who would have known this as a newbie track racer...great great information...Can't wait to get to bed tonight to see part II...I can't bear to tell my wife it is not all about her
