Hi All. I'm relatively new to track riding. Last track day was 2 years ago and I've only done 4 in total. Converted my Gen3 roadbike to track bike for this year due to doing silly speeds on the road to get my kicks and that's not the place to do it. At the moment my bike is pretty standard mechanically and just has track fairings on for now. Done Cadwell recently and absolutely buzzing. I'm hooked. (avatar is a pic of me from there). Bike has semi active suspension and I have the plug to access slick and user. So far I've put it in User with everything in race apart from throttle response which is in slick. DTC is -2. Rear comp is 0, rear rebound is 0 and front damping is +2. I'm probably a 90kg rider kitted up. It didn't feel bad but I've nothing to relate it to apart from the road which is totally different. Tyre wear was okay.
Any advice as to where the hell I should start with suspension set up and DTC settings for the track or should I just put it in slick with DTC -5 and get used to it? Or maybe go and get it set up by someone as I'm a bit lost with it all.?? I realise different tracks may need different settings but I'm looking for a good base setting for track riding to start from.
Any advice is much appreciated. :topsy_turvy:. Cheers
