  I'll argue a little around tyre pressures. Here in OZ with a lot of soft sand/gravel and corrugations on our twin tracks running with that much pressure on the front doesn't work at all. I would run more like 15/20 psi as the base setting and fiddle slightly from there, especially the front tyre. You need the tyre to get up on top of the sand/gravel, not cut through it. I use "baggy" fronts a lot as well, another good way to help out with the steering.

  Setting your (or any) bike up is vital. I see people throwing heaps of money on ”upgrades” before even getting to know their bikes! Setting your bike up &nbsp;is much more effective (and economical) than goingnout and spending 1000 £/€/$ on after market suspension!<br>Thanks for being on the team. People usually don’t have the patience to listen to me. 😂<br>/former test rider and bike journo

  My last suspension check is to ride at slow speed and “jump up and down” (compress and decompress the suspension). I want the spring rate and damping to be such that there’s non fore and aft pitch at any time during the fork and shock stroke. &nbsp;It really makes a difference….

  This is a fantastic video for somebody who&apos;s trying to learn as much as possible about the basics of off-road riding on an ADV bike. &nbsp;Thank you.

  the spike that comes out the bottom of verner calipers is for measuring depth and is useful for measuring the amount of fork tube sticking out of the clamps

  I just want to say you guys are doing a fantastic job with your videos. I watch a lot of moto videos and I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the content you’re making. I already knew most of this info but it was still super helpful to have it explained in a very well organized and thoughtful manner. And your mixed scenic shots add a touch of beauty that reminds us why we ride. Thanks and keep up the good work 🤙🏼
