Hi,
You're invited to the next: Basic Suspension Workshop - Part 2 by
local expert rider, Gary Jaehne!
Here's the only catch: It's limited to 35 riders because we will be
taking apart and examining the internals of a set of forks. Yes,
you'll see the innards of the thing and see how it works to gain a
deeper understanding of how suspension works. Those who attended the
last Basic Suspension Workshop (Level 1) will get first priority.
The other month there was even a guy that flew from Colorado to attend
the workshop and flew back the next morning!
The Suspension Seminar Part 2, should be extraordinarily interesting
tonight, Gary will go through the normal presentation portion of the
program and will vary from the previous format by adding a lab where
he'll be setting up a folding card table to perform a complete "piece
by piece" dissection process on a full front fork assembly, and a rear
shock assembly, while the students observe. We'll be identifying the
function of each individual item, as it's removed. Should be a very
educational experience, and rare opportunity for the riders in
attendance. I'm excited about implementing this new "twist" on the
suspension training program!
Ken Lipman, our "Silent Hero" has been attending these too!
If there's any room left, and I expect there will be, you can attend
IF you already have a basic working knowledge of suspension and are
familiar with setting the sag adjustment on your bike.
Topic: Basic Suspension Workshop - Part 2
Place: My office, Physicians Plus Medical Group (formally
Wong Chiropractic)
Time: Friday night, February 9th from 7:15pm to 9:45pm

Here's the scoop from Gary:
"I'm very pleased with the materials that I've put together so far, as
I believe they will be quite effective at directly addressing the
questions and issues that most motorcyclists have regarding the 'black
magic' of setting up their compression and rebound adjustments, as
well as other related aspects of suspension tuning."
You'll also get a working knowledge of how compression and rebound
works on a bike by actually adjusting the suspension.
"The format for The "PART 2" seminar looks like this:
************************************************** ****
1. Spring "Preload": "Setting proper "SAG", a quick review"
2. Compression & Rebound : "Solving the mystery"
3. Dissembling a set of forks and examining it's internals
4. Advanced suspension tuning: "Going beyond the factory":
.. Wheelbase
.. Fork tube height
. Fork oil level/viscosity
5. Troubleshooting common bike handling complaints (student
contribution)
6. Cartridge fork dissembly
7. Final Question & Answer session
************************************************** ****
This will be a 2 1/2 hour (non-riding) workshop held on Friday night
