- 01Congratulations! You are on your way to joining the ‘1% club’. Estimations are that only 1 in every 100 riders adjust their bike’s suspension to meet the different track conditions. You just took a big step. We are well aware of that - we see it everytime, on every track out there: riders are afraid to adjust their suspension. So don’t panic, we assure you this is easier than you think. Start from the beginning: find out the base settings (forks + shock) you are currently using for riding your bike. We made a video with one of our favourite bikes, a 2008 KX 250 with KYB suspension - click on the video bellow and start clicking! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6f5e08_e49de2413845457c9c18b8521c32bd1b~mv2.jpg Needless to say, you can contact us directly to our email address if you need to. info@clickersapp.com (mailto:info@clickersapp.com)
- 02Tracks are added on site using the app. Your smartphone provides the location and the app saves it for that track. When adding a track/circuit/riding facility to the Clickers MX App database, you have that window open just once, meaning you have to upload a photo of the track (or take a photo on site), provide a description, and contact details (name, phone, and email). Then you select if you want to make it private (like your private track) or public (if open to other riders). If you want a track to be added beforehand, (for example, if you are a motocross facility owner) you can send us an email to info@clickersapp.com (mailto:info@clickersapp.com)with a photo, latitude and longitude, a contact phone and email addres, and a brief decription if you like.
- 03You can add up to 5 bikes in your garage. You can also use each of those 5 bikes to assign a specific baseline setting (trials, enduro, supercross, motocross, sand, etc). Use the "MISC" box for naming the setup. If you ride mainly one or two disciplines, for example motocross and supercross, then you can use the MISC box to enter more Specs - for example if your suspension is tuned by Race Tech, then you can keep the DVS (Digital Valving System) number there, so you can access your individual suspension setup - spring rates, shim stacks, and adjuster settings. Other explamples of use of the MISC box: Race bike, Practice bike, Dunlop tires, Fork oil 370cc, Oil type USF05, Showa A-Kit, etc.
- 04Your suspension setup goes beyond the suspension adjusters, like the SAG, the gear ratio, handlebar specs, triple clamps, tire type (like a scooptire for sand riding), exhaust, etc. (http://etc.so) So we thought that with your preferred sand setup you can have settings for each and every sand track you go. Then you will do the adjustments necessary since each track is a different beast. Same with your supercross setup, etc.
- 05Whenever you want to add a setting not linked to any location, type "setup" when searching for a track by name or city name. You will find different setups: woods, hardpack, deep sand, medium sand, supercross, etc... use them as your baseline settings. If you go to a supercross track, import that setting which you saved as your base suspension setup for supercross (for example) and start from there. We suggest that your base setup is in the ballpark of your riding ability. Like riding at 70% of your full potential. Then go up from there as you get warmed up.
- 06Remember, you are not chaning a setup, you are changing settings. Your setup goes beyond the suspension adjusters, like the SAG, the gearing ratio, triple clamps, oil type, shim stacks, spring rates, even the tire type (like Tomac & the scoop tire). It's a bit confusing if you are new to suspension testing, but if you are reading this you are off to a good start! When adding new settings, you are in the "testing process". This is what is happening: you are going in one direction (for instance, you are increasing the compression force in your forks from 60% to 68%) and as a result the app indicates you that you have to go 2 clicks, and that you have to turn clockwise. So you go to your forks, and apply the adjustment to them. At that very moment, your suspension has been modified, and it is time for you to test it. So then you go out on the track and test that setting. After 2-3 laps, it is time for you to go back to the pits and you either save & rate that setting, or you keep testing. The percentage there remains as you left it (68%), but the number of clicks has gone back to "0", becuase you can go more clicks in either direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). It's like a fresh start, but within the same testing process; so you can pick up where your left off.
