Street Tuning:
This program is aimed at street riders only and has no bearing to either track days or race events. The assumption is that these motorcycles will never see the track, so a basic set up will reflect the rider’s weight and the optimization of hydraulics based on the stock springs in the forks and shock.
In most cases this is done in a seminar format, whether at a dealer event or at a predetermined date for riding groups, but there are occasional opportunities for riders to show up at track day events and have their motorcycle set up.
In some cases it will be very evident that there is a self evident inadequacy in components, so a clear explanation of why that inadequacy exists will be provided so that the individual can make an educated assessment as to what should be corrected and in what sequence based on budgetary concerns.
In very few cases will geometry be altered in this program as the bikes have many and varied uses and may never see the accelerated speeds and turning requirements of the track.
The goal is to ensure that the rider understands what adjustability their motorcycle has, what those adjustment mean and lastly, why the adjustments are necessary.
