Bike Setup
This is
a
hands-on
subject
where
you are
taught
to set
up your
motorcycle
perfectly
for each
specific
race
track,
which
will
then
allow
you to
perform
better.
Nascar
racing
on any
track
has
always
just
been
around
an oval
in the
same
direction.
And the
tracks
don’t
really
ever
change.
Yet, the
drivers
spend
five
days
before
the
event,
each one
having
five
mechanics,
setting
up their
car for
that
particular
event.
Motocross
tracks
are
filled
with man
made
obstacles,
changing
terrain
and
changing
soil
consistency
and
every
lap
changes
because
of other
riders
etc. On
top of
this,
motocross
bikes
have
more
controls
that
have to
be used
to
negotiate
these
many
obstacles.
Yet,
bearing
all this
in mind,
very
little
time is
spent by
a
motocross
rider in
setting
up his
bike up
for a
particular
track or
event.
Don’t
you
think
something
is wrong
with
this
picture?
Either
Nascar
guys are
doing
overkill.
Or, the
motocross
guys
don’t
have a
clue.
If you
want to
be safer
and
faster,
one of
the
first
things
you need
to do is
spend
time on
bike
set-up. |
