Cheers Matthew, I appreciate you watching and commenting. I went through exactly what you did, and there wasn't really anything that made sense to my 'real' motorbike brain. There's still the odd bike that is a pain in the arse, that no matter what you do it's either a pig to ride or just won't heat the tyres. When you say other guides, what did you have in mind??? I did one for setting up the gearing track to track, but it sounded so condescending I never put it out, I hated myself by the end of it. 🤣👍

@@MotoMartino79 gearing was one I was thinking about, its one I have never seen a guide on, also the differences between the throttle/brake settings, aggressive seems to be what everyone suggests but no one seems to be able to say why, braking is another one I'm slowly getting to grips with how you can brake much later into a bend than you think and slowly release the brake until the apex (trail braking) ,rake and trail is another thing I have never seen mentioned in other guides. Do you set up differently in the wet to the dry? honestly there's a LOT to figure out in the game and very little out there on a whole bunch of it, braking is a big one for me, seems in the time trials the top guys can brake WAY later than I can and still can't fully figure out how they are doing it! Another one I thought while watching your replays which I enjoy is maybe having a voice over talking through the track and what you're doing/thinking as you're doing it. Something I have been playing around with again that I have not seen mentioned that I need to do more testing with but you may already know the answers, the lean style seems to make a difference to cornering, I did have it set for the big lean off the bike but I am convinced this causes you to have less lean angle and slower corner speeds, I have not tested the other one yet, forget the name but the old school style. Also I don't think auto tuck in works correctly, I have been toying with the 300 on long straights, auto tuck vs manual seems to definitely be slower, I have set tuck to A and put it on manual using the A button to tuck then holding back on the left joystick before a bend, then release the A button and its like deploying an air brake. So much! lol

I'd start there and then maybe see if there's a difference in the game settings for qualifying. The Endurance races will hold a different setting to the other races, so would be worth a check.

Hi Rhys, thanks for watching and commenting buddy, I really appreciate it. And thank you for the kind words, they are reward enough for all the effort. Right, preload and its effect on the bike. Front - if you are falling off the edge of the tyres in corners when the bike is cranked right over, INCREASE the front preload +1 click until it stops. This might cause the bike to understeer, if it does, increase the rear preload by the same number of clicks to neutralise the increased front ride height. Rear - if the bike is stepping sideways as you apply the throttle, when the bike is leant over, INCREASE rear preload +1 click AND decrease rear spring rate -1 click to offset the higher back end. If you increase preload and don't decrease spring rate, the bike will want to wheelie all over the shop. If you are losing the front on the brakes, I would increase SPRING HARDNESS, if the bike is fine mid corner. If you do increase spring hardness, remember to increase COMPRESSION by the same number of clicks. That should work for most bikes, but I appreciate it will depend on your 'riding style' more than anything, so it might need a bit tweaking to feel right for you. Tyre temperature is the key to the whole thing, get them green and you are 80% there, after that it's just a click here or there to fine tune. In some cases, 1 click either way on front preload can be worth a second a lap if you hit the sweet spot. As a start point, I always use a 2 & 8 base set-up on every bike to start with and run MEDIUM tyres front and rear. Tyre compound doesn't seem to affect lap times too much, maybe a second from SOFT to HARD, but it's easier to switch tyres than it is piss about with the set-up. If the MEDIUM runs COLD switch to a SOFT, if it runs HOT switch to a HARD. Preload = F2 R8 Spring Hardness = F8 R2 (always reverse your preload settings as a base) Rebound = F4 R1 ( half of Spring Hardness for both F + R) Compression = F8 R1 (front matches Spring H, the rear is halved) I'll always graduate my gearing, so set 1st to 0 clicks (full left) and add 1 click for 2nd, 2 for 3rd etc so 6th should be 5 clicks or bang in the middle. For any gearing changes I adjust the FINAL RATIO unless I'm smashing the limiter in 6th, then I'll run 6th longer as required. Calibrations are always set to aggressive as it transfers the weight front to rear much quicker, allowing for much better fine tuning of the Comp and Rebound settings. Smaller bikes will need softer springs and tyres, big phat things like ZZR1400s and Hedgeabusers will need harder springs and tyres etc. Pick a bike you enjoy using and a track you know really well, start from a 2 & 8 and adjust 1 thing at a time to see what it does. UMC Outer is my go-to when I'm trying to figure a bike out, as it puts a high cornering load through the tyres and is bumpy, so you can easily see what does and doesn't work. I've done just over a thousand miles on the 2010 Aprilia RSV-R, and it's now at a stage where I only ever change tyres. Hope this helps bud, any issues or questions just fire away. Stay safe. 👍👍✌

@MotoMartino79

@@rhysblythe hi buddy, welcome back. Ref the rear tyre heat, dropping the rear preload will increase heat a little but you'll have to massage the other rear settings to offset the preload change. It will also push the front end as the weight distribution will have changed, hence the front getting hot. You would be better dropping the rear spring hardness by 1 and increasing the rear compression by 1. This should reduce the preload (as preload is linked to spring rate in theory) and help speed up the compression of the rear end under power. It might make it understeer a little if you go more than 1 click on each of your changes., so go steady There's a 2002 R6 set-up video coming out tomorrow, where I talk about getting heat into the rear, might be worth a look and make more sense if you see it in action. What bikes exactly are you using? I'll have a tinker with them this afternoon and ping you a set-up if I can work it out. Ta 👍👍

I 100% agree with you buddy. Teaching or giving hints on how people should 'play' the game just isn't practicable. Setting the bikes up, as in getting the tyres into a manageable heat zone and hopefully allowing people to understand how set-up changes effect the bike, should enable those that want to, to go faster. Think about it like a cup of tea. The way you make tea, is in theory, pretty similar: water + leaves + a vessel to hold the resulting liquid = tea. How hot that tea is when you drink it is up to you. I can show you how to make it, explain the risks involved, but you ultimately have to decide what's best for you. I've tried to approach RIDE4 the same way. I can help explain how the bikes react to set-up changes, as well as how you can make changes to effect tyre temperature / reaction speed / lean angle etc, but when you actually brake and / or turn in is up to you. I personally like to carry as much corner speed as possible, others like to square or V corners off. Knowing how to set the bike up is half the battle in becoming faster. My way needs a slightly softer reaction from the bike and plenty of lean angle. The other way requires faster reactions from the bike (via increased preload settings) and a more resilient front end (stiffer springs & a harder tyre compound), but you run the risk of more understeer if the set-up isn't quite right. The set-up videos were never about trying to be or act like I am or was the fastest. There's way too much of that all over KZitem already. They were intended to be a 'hey, have a think about this, and look at how the bike changes and it will probably help you go faster'. It took me a long time to get to 120% AI difficulty and I'm happy to admit I still struggle to keep up. I also get the set-up more wrong than right, but I only know this by having some sort of grasp on the way the physics model works. I really appreciate you watching and commenting, and I thank you for taking the time to do so. If I have misrepresented my intentions I apologise, and I genuinely take all feedback on board, to try and make videos that are accessible for people who play the game at all levels. Take care, stay safe 👍👍✌ p.s. as for the tea, I'm more of a coffee guy, as long as it's not too hot!! 😉😉

You are way too early on the brakes so set the racing line to braking points only, and it will help you get used to where you need to brake. At Monza the braking points are usually just before the advertising bridges across the track, apart from the front straight which is about at 250m ish. If you go to time trial and have a few laps, I'll do the same in 1st person and we can use each others ghost to get better, assuming you're on xbox of course.

Geert, my apologies for not communicating the intentions of the video clearly enough, but in the same breath, thank you for reaching out and getting in touch. You are correct, Utah is flat and it's also fast. The reason I used it wasn't to provide a setting that works everywhere, it was to show how changing the suspension settings effects the way the bikes handle and heat the tyres up, allowing for finer control and ultimately faster lap times. Everybike handles slightly differently, and whilst I would move to provide a set up for all the bikes at every track in all conditions, I fear I don't have enough laps of the Sun left to accomplish such a task. You are also correct on your second point, the AI are sometimes impossible to beat. So we have 2 options, turn the difficulty down, or try to understand how the physics model works, so we can adjust the set up of the bike accordingly. Now the first option is entirely up to you, and I will be of no use whatsoever. The second option is more my cup of tea, and I'm willing to offer any help I can. Let me know the details of the race or races in question and I'll be more than happy to offer any knowledge I have. The more knowledge we share, the stronger we become as a community, meaning we succeed more as a whole at a very difficult game. Take care buddy, stay safe, peace ✌

What about RM bikes. What do you run for trail/rake
@MotoMartino79
2 жыл бұрын
Hi Nick, thanks for getting in touch. For the RM bikes I tend to drop the trail/rake down as I drop the preload down ( towards the left). Lower preload will slow the bike down from side to side, as in how fast it tips into a corner and changes direction. The rake & trail adjustment compensates for this by speeding it up again, by making the steering angle steeper and shortening the wheelbase. For example, the RM Yamaha R1s all like to wheelie way too much. To counter this, I drop the preload right down on the rear, maybe 1 or 2 clicks at most, and run the rear spring somewhere between 1 & 5 clicks, depending on ambient temperature and tyre compound being used. This makes the bike very slow to react and prone to understeer. To counter this, I'll drop the rake / trail down to 1, 2 or 3 clicks to get the rate of response I want combined with forward drive rather than wheelies. What works on one bike, might ruin the handling of another, so it's all a bit subjective and can be very frustrating. When I refer to clicks, fully left is 0 (zero) fully right is 10 (ten). The default setting is 5 for everything.

Sorry Victor, there's no easy way around the physics model. But in a nutshell stick to the following. If the tyres are red - add spring hardness to the affected tyre, then match your compression and rebound settings. If the tyre is blue - remove spring hardness from the affected tyre, then match your compression and rebound settings. Start off with a soft or medium tyre, if you run out of suspension adjustment you'll need to go to a harder (suspension at 10 far right) or softer (suspension at 0 far left) If the bike is turning too slow - remove preload at the front & add preload at the rear. If the bike is turning too fast - add preload at the front & remove preload at the rear. If the bike wheelies too much, remove -2 rear preload, then add +1 to rear spring hardness. You want to be aiming to get the tyres nice and green, you'll be much quicker and consistent that way. 👍👍✌
