It's time again for another fun-filled week of suspension secrets. In all my years of being around motorcycles I've become convinced that suspension is the least understood part of the bike. This seems true even though I think everyone would benefit from a better understanding from Johnny-Joe-Racer's Dad to Suspension Tuners that do it for a living.
I started hosting suspension seminars back in 1994 because there is not a lot of clear, easy-to-understand information and there certainly is a lot of incorrect theory out there. My goal is to have everyone that attends leave with a very good practical understanding of how suspension works and how to tune it no matter what type of riding (driving) you are in to. You will love it. I guarantee it!.

The overall result of the Will you sacrifice power for a quieter bike poll is that 65% of people will NOT sacrifice power for quietness.
This is a major issue with our sport, as noise is the second major way that people are aware of us. The other way is that whoops and berms tend to form on common tracks, but we can stop them unless we all go slower (yeah right).
But imagine if you will a future where we all ride battery powered torque monsters that make no noise. All of the tracks that are currently limited to use by Mountain bikes could be used by dirtbikes!
A Pipe dream you say? Never happen. It can, and already IS! Read on if you dare.
