Quick answer

Track suspension by saving a trusted baseline, recording current clicker positions, and pairing each change with ride conditions and bike feel. The record should help you remember what changed, not tell you what setting to run.

Step-by-step rider workflow

  1. 1Record the baseline settings for the bike.
  2. 2Before a ride, save the current setup.
  3. 3After a change, log what moved and why.
  4. 4Add conditions, bike feel, and rider notes.
  5. 5Keep the next test idea with the session.

Save the baseline

Start by recording the settings you trust enough to return to. Include fork and shock values in plain language so you can understand the entry quickly at the track.

Record one change at a time

When you adjust clickers, note the previous position, the new position, and why you made the change. Avoid turning setup notes into vague comments that are hard to use later.

Attach ride context

A setting matters more when it is connected to track condition, tire pressure, rider feedback, and bike feel. Log those details next to the setup instead of in a separate note.

Write what to try next

End the note with the next action you want to test. This keeps your next ride from starting with the same question you already answered.

FAQ

Does Dirt Bike Dialed recommend suspension settings?

No. It helps you record and compare your own settings and notes. It does not replace a qualified mechanic, tuner, or official setup guidance.

What suspension details should I log?

Log baseline values, current clicker positions, track conditions, tire pressure, bike feel, and the reason for each change.

Can I compare two ride sessions?

Yes. Pro session comparison can show settings, notes, conditions, and results side by side.
