Hi Dave,
For my first race season I knew suspension was going to be a big factor in how well I did or not. After I purchased the set of DVD's from www.onthethrottle.com I watched them no less than 8 times a piece. The part that helped me out the most was the case files, something every track day person or racer has to do every weekend at the track: adjust something, go out and ride, evaluate it, make a change and repeat. Throughout the year when I would have a question about the way my bike was handling or needed something to make it handle better I would get the DVD's out again and scan through them for any more information that could help. Much better than reading any book on suspension because it is something physical that you can see, it is hard to read about a rear shock that is rising too fast but you can see it very easily in a video.
I truly believe that the information I received through the DVD's Twiddling Knobs and Introduction to Suspension helped me to do as well as I did in 2008. My first year racing, on a 2003 r6, I did well enough to get bumped to expert and received 15 podiums with 3 first place finishes in WERA!
Thanks Dave

Hello Dave,
I would just like to say thanks, the DVD’s are fantastic. I have been riding bikes on road and track for 18 years, I now know why some of my bikes did not feel good (suspension not setup to my weight).
Thank you !
Adrian Morris.
Hi Dave,
I have both your DVD's and study them religiously!!! I have actually gotten pretty good at dialing my own suspension due to your clear explanations and demonstration of how a motorcycle suspension works.
Many thanks,
Don Walker
Hi David,
I've been watching and learning a lot about proper suspension setup. I'm still practicing my bounce technique (ha,ha), but definitely see & feel a big difference in how the bike is responding. Great job on putting together such an informative and educational product! I keep your DVD's close by and learn something new every time I watch them.
Many thanks,

Hi Dave,
I bought the Catalyst Reaction suspension set up video from "On the Throttle Tv". Once I watched it especially the set up of the bikes I realized I was onto a good thing and that my bike was way out of adjustment for me and my weight. I tested the suspension as per the video and found my 07 R6 had very poor damping control in the forks. Not content with this I tested a brand new 07 R6, a Triumph 675 as a reference as per the video, 07 cbr1000 and a 05 ZX6R. Some were good some bad, both R6's were bad.
I thought I could fix this myself by going up in oil weight but alas crashed in the process :( I then bit the bullet and fitted Catalyst Racing Suspension. The bike was transformed:- much more stable and easy to ride with great feedback. My lap times dropped and tire wear was reduced considerably. Having suspension with a wide range of adjustment is just the icing on the cake.
The best part though was I could get good help from the other side of the World as I'm Perth Western Australia. Hence the heading "suspension by remote control". I would recommend using Catalyst Suspension even from a remote location as the work is First class and the results second to none.
Thanks Dave and Jim

Hi Dave,
I ordered and received your DVD's! They were a great help, and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I've recommended them to all my track day friends. They were exactly the type of instructional media I've been looking for quite a while. Also the section on reading tires was so interesting and helpful and your methods for adjusting rebound are great, it makes so much more sense actually seeing you do it.
Hope you are well..

Hi, Dave
I found out about your site when I was searching for setting up suspension and found some video clips on YouTube (which I think have now been removed). Which lead to me purchasing the DVD twin pack from the old site. The DVD’s are brilliant and very informative,
Cheers

Dave,
Wow, Tough way to start the New Year - glad to hear you weren't permanently injured. At least this is the time of the year that you need to travel the least for work. Feel Well soon Dave.
PS: Your DVD's are a Revelation! Outstanding!
Best wishes,
