Suspension is probably the most misunderstood aspect of motorcycle performance. This book, by America’s premier suspension specialist, makes the art and science of suspension tuning accessible to professional and backyard motorcycle mechanics alike. Based on Paul Thede’s wildly popular Race Tech Suspension Seminars, this step-by-step guide shows anyone how to make their bike, or their kid’s, handle like a pro’s.
Thede gives a clear account of the three forces of suspension that you must understand to make accurate assessments of your suspension’s condition. He outlines testing procedures that will help you gauge how well you’re improving your suspension, along with your riding. And, if you’re inclined to perfect your bike’s handling, he even explains the black art of chassis geometry. Finally, step-by-step photos of suspension disassembly and assembly help you rebuild your forks and shocks for optimum performance.
The book even provides detailed troubleshooting guides for dirt, street, and supermoto--promising a solution to virtually any handling problem.

This book is a godsend for racers and serious riders who want to not only understand what their suspension is doing, but be able adjust and reconfigure it to suit the conditions, the track and/or the rider. Before reading this, I was pretty much a complete novice to suspension (I'd only read Sportbike Suspension Tuning by Andrew Trevit, which really only touches on how your suspension works). I'm not a mechanic, but I am handy with a spanner - after some internet research, I was fine to set my static sag, and adjust the Cartridge Emulators on my CBR400 race bike, but I have previously baulked at stuff like taking the forks off the bike. Now, having read this and doing a little tinkering with the stock equipment on my GSX-R 600 road bike, I'm itching to get some new springs and Gold Valves and take my forks apart to set the suspension up for me.
The authors obviously know their stuff, but more importantly (for us), they know how to clearly deliver that knowledge to their audience. Some of the concepts may take you a couple of reads to fully get it, but everything here is well within the grasp of the basically mechanically minded. I did a track day recently, at a circuit where the surface is very rough. Using the knowledge I've gained from this book, I was able to adjust the front and rear suspension on my K8 GSX-R 600 to take it from a frightening bucking bronco to a reasonably planted and stable ride (the surface at Baskerville is very, very bumpy). I am more than confident that once I've installed some new springs and valves (again, with the knowledge I've picked up from this book), I can turn this bike into as smooth a ride as anyone can at this track.
I like that not only are how and why to make adjustments explained, but also what they do and why they work (i.e.
