Fastrack Riders Track Day Seminar 2 - Setting Up Your Bike - at Pro Italia - Part 1

Fastrack riders presented this second in a series of three seminars that focused on Setting Up Your Bike.
Many riders spend significant money on performance parts, but don't necessarily get the optimal performance out of the bike on the road or at the track. Setting up and preparing a bike properly for the track was discussed and demonstrated in the Pro Italia Service Center. Attendees learned how to adjust sag, how to safety wire, and how to set rebound, compression and dampening. Attendees also learned how to interpret and communicate bike performance so that they (and others) can better understand what specific changes to setup are required.

This is a great series! I'm learning alot. This one is a bit funny though because you can see on camera that John messes up the rear sag mesurement. For the reference measurement he hooks the tape under the bottom of the axle, but then for the first sag measurement he hooks it under the top of the axle. Oops - that added 25 mm or so to the sag estimate. No wonder he found it excessive!
