Motocross Riding Tips - Dirt Bike Suspension

After you have setup the correct sag and spring rate for your bike and weight (see here for setting race sag) it is then time to take a look at how your suspension is reacting on the track.

Consult your bikes owners manual and set your compression clickers and rebound adjusters back to standard settings as a base to work from. That way if you go too far or lose settings you have somewhere to go back to.

It can be helpful if you have a friend who is knowledgable about motocross suspension and can tell you what your bike is doing or if they can film you with a video camera.

Use the compression clickers to control the feel of your dirt bikes suspension over small bumps (whether it be too hard and stiff or soft and mushy) and then how it handles the bigger stuff.

Is your suspension always bottoming or too stiff so as you never use the full travel available for your suspension.

The rebound adjusters can take affect over a series of bumps.

Does the bike "pack down" meaning the suspension gets more and more compressed over a series of bumps (not enough rebound)?

Or does it tend to kick you in the butt after every bump because there is too much rebound?

As with most adjustments, make changes in small increments after a few laps of the track.

Spend a bit of time setting up your motocross or dirt bike suspension and you could reward yourself with a smoother ride, faster laptimes or save some money on tuning.

Now you can watch it on video... (please excuse the audio as it came in with an annoying hum that was difficult to mix out)

Hi Edward,

go and see a local suspension tuner, some can cut your spring to lower the back of your bike.

I need to lower the bike, or adjust the sag so it sits lower and i can get on it,
And be comfy,

A lot of riders don't realize how much a few suspension changes can effect the way their bike handles.
