Getting your motorcycle spring setup tuned correctly depends on many factors like rider weight and experience level, the weight of a passenger, or varying terrains such as potholes and railroad track crossings.
As a result, choosing the best motorcycle spring setup can be a lesson in compromise. For example, while a soft spring could provide maximum grip levels for the tires to maintain traction, a stiffer spring may provide better support to keep the chassis geometry in the sweet spot where turning capabilities are at their best.
In this on-demand webinar, we will do a live demonstration with a bike and rider and take you through some of the basics of managing your spring setup. This webinar will help you make sense of each adjustment, and how they will affect the feel and performance of your suspension.

Motorcycle Suspension: Spring Basics
In this webinar, we will be doing a live demonstration with a bike and rider and will take you through some of the basics such as:
- The compromises you will have to deal with if you use stock suspension springs
- The correct process for setting sag on a motorcycle and why it is important for performance and safety
- Why spring rate is important and what the difference between spring rate and preload is
- How ride height and spring rates are two different things and the problems these adjustments can help with
With this knowledge, you will be better able to set up your springs in a way that can eliminate many of the compromises that you will be presented with.
So, don't delay. Register for this on-demand webinar now, and if you have any questions or are ready to take your suspension setup to the next level, reach out to us at s3@penskeshocks.com, and we'll be glad to help.
