Suspension tuning by nature is a black art, thus when it comes to suspension set-up it helps to have the knowledge of an experienced suspension tuner on your side. And knowledge and experience is what Catalyst Racing Suspension Tuning has in spades.
Owner, Dave Moss, a decorated road racer himself, has been working on motorcycle suspension for the last 14 years. His company specializes in motorcycle suspension service and chassis set-up. Moss and his team travels around to a mind-boggling number of both motorcycle road races and trackdays all in effort to help you get the most out of both you and your machine.
At the track, Catalyst offers a variety of services, including personalized one-on-one time as well as suspension repair or adjustment (including fork/shock spring replacement). We tried their basic sag and hydraulic set-up which costs just $40.
For that fee, Moss and co. take the worry out of setting up your front and rear suspension sag. Not only that, they sort through the multitude of individual fork and shock settings optimized based on the motorcycle you're riding, your skill-level, tires, and track conditions.
And don’t think you have to be a “fast guy” or be able to convey the specific problem you’re encountering. Moss is a professional and he can literally sort out your issue based on the way the tire’s look—he’s that good! Next to the cost of gas, it’s the best $40 you can spend at a trackday. Period. |
