This is an exciting new series where the Slacker Crew travels to different motocross tracks each month to connect with local riders and discuss one of the most crucial elements of bike performance: suspension setup.
For our inaugural session, we had the privilege of sitting down with Slacker founder John Casebeer to address some of the most common questions riders have about suspension tuning and the Slacker Digital Sag Scale. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a weekend warrior, understanding your bike’s suspension is key to achieving peak performance and comfort on the track.
Key Topics Covered in Session 1:
1. Setting Sag for Specific Rider Weight
Johny breaks down the relationship between rider weight, rider sag, and static sag.
2. Using Slacker on 50cc and Up
Slacker works on pretty much anything with steel axles. Johny walks you through why it is a great choice for our moto moms and dads out there.
3. Should You Set Sag Once or Before Every Ride?
Johny shares his expert take on why checking your sag before every ride can make a huge difference in maintaining consistent suspension performance and overall handling.
Why This Matters:
Proper suspension setup isn’t just about comfort—it’s about safety, control, and maximizing your bike’s capabilities. A well-tuned suspension ensures better traction, improved handling, and a more predictable bike overall. With this newfound knowledge, you’ll be equipped to fine-tune your suspension like a pro.
