Greetings, Dave. You probably don't remember me, with all of the faces at your tent last year. I am a fairly new instructor (long-time rider) with PSSR. You tuned my red RR at Thunderhill last year and I wanted to pass along how completely thrilled I was with the result. Dan Batz referred me to your address, so I hope you don't mind the fan mail. J What you did was easily worth three times what I paid for the service. The experience after tuning was nothing at all compared to that before – it was a new ride. I finally felt like my bike and I were working together. You probably hear that often, but for each rider, I'm sure it's as thrilling an experience as it was for me. I actually laughed each time I rounded T2.

Thank you, and if we meet at PIR, I'll have my street bike in your tent for tuning as well.

J Cheers,

Dave -
Just wanted to thank you for dialing in my suspension at the Infineon 3Js day on Monday (I had the blue and white R6). It was amazing! A completely different bike altogether once you were through. Thanks to your adjustments I was able to ride harder and more comfortably than ever before. I reached a number of personal bests and even got me knee down for the first time (and second, and third, etc.). Thank you for making my bike more of a precision instrument and giving me a new toy to play with!

Thanks again,
Rich

 

I first used Dave’s services when I brought in my 03 CBR600RR to a trackday at Infineon hosted by K@TT. My bike’s suspension had initially been adjusted by a friend who is a suspension tuning enthusiast, but ironically, had no track experience to speak for. The adjustments made by my friend were significantly better than what I had previously had setup. However, upon inspection of my bike, my weight, and my (unimpressive) laptimes, Dave made some adjustments that reflected my riding style according to Infineon. He had also made note that my bike’s rebound and compression should nearly be full-in as he has tuned many, many 600RR’s. With that said, the proper adjustments were made and I was off to the post-lunch session. The responsiveness and predictability of my bike were amazingly improved; braking, entering, and exiting through turns felt much more controlled and I was able to push my abilities more than before.

Dave’s services at trackdays are essential and inexpensive! It was by far the cheapest yet most significant “modification,” if you will, that I have ever had done to my bike. It improved my confidence and gave new life to my bike! Thank you, Dave!

I thought I was spoiled riding on the 208GP’s. That was until I had Dave adjust the suspension on my 01 R6.

After reading the praises of some of my friend’s, I decided that I would definitely go see him at my first trackday of the season; fortunately for me, he was there and open for business.

I was already in love with my bike and my tires; Dave made it all work together even better. He worked with me throughout the day and got the suspension dialed-in just perfectly for me and my riding style. In fact, his handy-work made my bike handle so much better, my confidence was boosted; I rode smoother and faster, and had the best trackday I’d ever had up to that point. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

In the spring of 2004 I purchased a new 2004 Yamaha R1 and struggled for a number of track days, trying to find the right suspension settings. In fact, I was about to give up on the bike when I decided to let Dave have a go with it. He spent some time evaluating my setup and needs, then he made several adjustments and I hit the track. In that one session Dave had transformed my R1 from a beast that was attempting to kill me into a machine that promised to be a joy to ride. A few more tweaks here and there and all was well with the world. I was amazed and thankful, since I was just about ready to take a loss and get rid of the bike, something my wife would have been most unhappy about. I highly recommend Dave's work! He saved my bike -- and my marriage.

For those of us out there that aren't suspension gurus, ..... DAVE IS!!
Very simply put, ...Track or Street, Dave quite often is the difference between a great handling bike and a bad day.
The knowledge couldn't be better and the price couldn't be cheaper.
Thanx Dave

It was clear that Dave Moss knew what he was doing. My new ZX10R was a handful, and while I have gotten pretty good at adjusting suspension, I turned to him for advice. It took Dave all of five minutes to test and tweak preload and damping, front and rear. Amazing what a big difference a small change can make! Even better, I followed his advice on modifying suspension internals and it was right on the money. I guess it's no surprise we hired Dave for suspension service for all Keigwins@theTrack schools. We always go after the best!

Dave,
You've exceeded everyone's expectations. I now have customers who sign up for track days according to when you'll be there! Please do what you can to attend and work more often, will you?
Gratefully,
Lance Keigwin,

After spending the morning at Thunder Hill wollowing around the track trying to get things dialed in I had finally got to the point I was willing to ask for help. After spending an initial visit with you my bike was much better. After the 1st "Hot" adjustment she was perfect and I spent the rest of the day having the proper setup and confidence in my suspension.

Thanks for keeping me on track!

Hey dave, my name is Art Martinez. You dialed in my suspension (RS250) on 5/9 at t-hill, and later dialed it a little more. Well I knocked of 5 seconds off my best, got down in the 2:19s! Didn't stop by sunday, because I didn't need to

Thanks for the great work at a great price!

Hey Dave!!! Its Stacy on the 600rr, you helped me out at the Buttonwillow track day last week. The adjustments that you made to my suspension made a world of difference!!! I was supprised that even I could feel a change in the bikes handeling. After a little adjusting, the bike seemed to stay better planted, especially entering and exiting the corners. You saw my tires, the improvment is very obvious!!! I really appreciate you taking the time to not only make the adjustments, but also for explaining how, when, and why I can make certain adjustments myself.
 
Thanks again for your suspension work on my R6 at Buttonwillow on Sunday, 8/21/05. The adjustments gave me a whole new bike and a whole new level of confidence. My lap times decreased and I had twice as much fun. Suspension tuning is a MUST for any and all motorcycles.
 
See you at the track!
 
Sincerely,
Mark McQueen
 

Wow, thanks again for giving me a new bike!  I could easily have spent hundreds or thousands on a new pipe or some other gimmick or cool upgrade and would not have made anywhere near the difference you made - what a bargain!  Thanks especially for taking the time to totally understand my bike and my riding.  As someone with a stock 750 GSXR who only visits the track once or twice a year for nothing more than a little fun, I did not consider myself to be an aggressive or sophisticated enough of a rider that suspension adjustments would make much of a difference.  Wow!  Was I wrong!  I felt faster, better, comfortable AND in more control (safer) than I have ever felt on my bike before, which translates to a lot more fun than I have ever had at the track!  You are truly a natural and a miracle worker!
