Setting-up Your Bike: Many riders spend significant money on performance parts, but don’t necessarily get the optimal performance out of the bike on the road or at the track. Setting up and preparing a bike properly for the track will be discussed and demonstrated in the Pro Italia Service Center. Attendees will learn how to adjust sag, how to safety wire, and how to set rebound, compression and dampening. Attendees will also learn how to interpret and communicate bike performance so that they (and others) can better understand what specific changes to setup are required. The session will be followed by Q&A. MotoGP viewing will follow the Sunday session.
