@TheRaulr151 watch for the schedule launched Jan 25th. Trying to get there for a few track days. Who do you ride with? Do they have a suspension tuner?
Hi Dave. In a previous episode you said that when looking at the wear of the REAR tire the right side is for gas, and the left for survival. What does this mean exactly?
@khyoon14 in breaking a track down by design based on rotation, tracks lend themselves to right or left turns being fast, right or left turns being technical/slow requiring slow roll on. In this instance with this track, right hand turns were full throttle exits, lefts were maintenance throttle or slow roll ons.
@cougz82 with these race DOT tires you can run them in either direction. This is true of many race tires, slicks or DOTs. To be race legal, all race DOT must have correct side wall information including directional arrow.
Aaron is an awesome racer. Dave, will you be out at the final WSMC round in November? I raced my 1st race in September in New Racer Race and placed 6th. Ran 33's and 34's. My goal is to get into the 20's. I'd like to seek your services on how to better setup my machine to meet the needs at WSIR. Thanks.
@leecravenaz good observation. Most race tires are no longer directional, but DOT race tires have to have all the markings of a stock tire including the rotational arrow. Getting the most use out of a race tire (slick or DOT) is therefore done by "flipping" the tire. Helps keep the costs down a little for our biggest expense - tires!
it would be interesting to see the results of the changes, you should add a small clip at the end of your videos with the riders comments and experience.
@gggromay Thanks for the suggestion. The next shooting sessions for Two Clicks Out will be much more in depth. He was very happy with the changes made to his bike. I thought we interviewed him, but when I went to edit the piece, I didn't see it. Thanks for the feedback.
Don't forget folks that most race tires event though they have an arrow on them (remember they are DOT race) are not directional. You can reverse a Pirelli or Dunlop race DOT for example.
I 'flip' mine all the time to get more longevity from the tire!
@brett6604 This is Dave's response above, to someone that made the same observation.

@gtrpimp76 can look at my schedule and see if that weekend is open!

At the 4:00 mark it appears that the tire is on backwards. I'd assume that's an issue also or is it not? (I'm just curious).

Where are you located? Do you do private suspension tuning off the tracks?
ld4v1dl 2 years ago
yes I do indeed schedule private sessions outside of the race track.
I am in Northern California in the Bay Area just south of San Fransicso.

I think it doesnt matter when on dry condition only when wet if backward you have hyroplane problems
