Even more shocking, it was written in a way that I could comprehend. I've spent tweny-plus years trying to figure out motorcycle suspensions, and now, thanks to this book, I finally get it. But perhaps most shocking of all was the negative review below, which was more of a personal attack on co-author Lee Parks than it was a useful review. I've met Mr. Parks--I took his Total Control riding course and found it extremely useful. Granted, Mr. Parks may not be the easiest person to like and he can come off as slightly abrasive at times, but he clearly knows his business, and he's a top-notch writer, which shows in every page of this book.

]]> Comment on Race Tech’s Motorcycle Suspension Bible by MC Dirt Guy http://yplusy.com/?p=63&cpage=1#comment-350 MC Dirt Guy Mon, 02 Aug 2010 19:57:01 +0000 http://yplusy.com/?p=63#comment-350 Race Tech's Motorcycle Suspension Bible by Thede and Parks was a joy to read and useful as a reference. MC suspension has always bugged me as to how exactly it works and more importantly how to get it to work on the various motorcycles that I owned and have owned. The book really explains how forces in suspension work in theory and is able to translate this info to how to adjust and or modify suspension. The trouble shooting and test chapter was especially useful for me to get my sport touring bike adjusted for my weight and riding style--the owners manual offered no help at all. The section on how to take apart forks and add aftermarket parts is easy to understand and has lots of great pictures that show what is inside. With the help of this book I will attempt to change springs and valveing on my son's WR250F Yamaha. I did not want to try to do this job before, having the book as a reference and guide will make the job possible for me to do instead of taking the bike to the dealer. Highly recommended!!!!

It is very well written, has some great pictures and is clear to understand. Author Lee Parks has another book on here that is highly rated too! (click his name and it shows the other book he wrote) Paul Thede puts on seminars about the topic of the book so you know he's experienced and knowledgable. But really the content is straightforward, detailed, understandable, and valuable to any rider whether you're a racer, or just a recreational rider. Also, remember that when someone writes a review, they should be reviewing the book itself, not complaining about shipper issues or transaction problems. The purpose of reviewing the book is to review the book. Seller comments/ratings is where complaints about shipping, damages, and returns should go. Rating: 5 / 5 I own this book.

Race Tech is widely recognized as a leader in suspension technology. <br /> <br />Would have been wonderful if Thede had chosen a co-author who could actually convey his knowledge in a coherent manner. The first 105 pages try to address how suspension works, but I have seen all the same information presented in less than an hour to a class of suspension neophytes by a person selling Race Tech emulators. The rest of the book is pretty color pictures and an appendix. <br /> <br />My suggestion for those who want to know how suspension works, how it interacts with the geometry of a bike, is to get Sportbike Suspension Tuning by Andrew Trevitt and/or Suspension for Mortals by Max McAllister. Both are packed full of easy to understand, in-depth information on motorcycle suspension.

Mounted on my motorcycle, not only did the iPhone come flying off, but so did the bracket that holds the phone onto the mount. Also the seller is only interested in making the almighty $$$$ by the quantity they sell and will not get back in touch with his buyers if there is a problem.

I told him I bought this for him because he was carrying "Special Cargo" on the back of his bike (my daughter). Both of them loved it and he put it in his Harley keychain immediately. It is a beautiful, not cheap. Would recommend to anybody. Rating: 5 / 5 I bought this St. Christopher “Ride with Me” for my son in law.
