Dave Moss on tire wear

It's pretty long (2 hours) but tons of info on how to read your track tires (and some street tires) to determine if your bike is set up correctly, from the geometry to tire pressure.

RCVTR is an unknown quantity at this point
I was stoked when the back tire on my RC51 looked like this at Thunderhill:

Very nice. I never would have guessed how much I would learn from this video. I was able to dial in my sag and rebound just by my looking at my tire wear and making adjustments.

Dave Moss was at the track this past Saturday when I attended tracktactics.org at Pitt Raceway. For $40 he personally went over my bike twice before and after sessions. Got my sag, dampign and preload adjustments all taken care of. He dialed me in a lot better than I had done on my own and gave me tips for what to fix next. Great guy, easy to talk to.
