Setting up a dirt bike for a rider is a very individual ritual. Even though there are plenty of foundational starting points, every rider should still test and evolve their setup for their riding style, terrain, and enjoyment. Brian Storrie helps me understand the baseline settings for dirt bike setup so we can then evolve the GasGas EX350F for my 2025 challenge of taking on the National Enduro Series. ⚡🛑 Utility Can Caddy 🛑⚡https://shop.seattime.co/products/utility-can-caddy
Brian Storrie and I go through a laundry list of things for bike setup, creating a testing loop, correct bike gearing, and more. The big stand outs are setting free sag and rider sag, handlebar and lever placement, rear brake pedal placement, proper gearing choice, and how to properly test changes.
I learned a ton and left feeling much more confident on the GasGas. The power this bike creates still blows me away. I'm more and more excited for the year of enduro racing every ride I get.

About Brian Storrie
Over 25 years ago, I heard a great tuner say "The best you have ridden is the best you know".
That still holds up today, and I have spent these 25 years helping rider's find a better feeling with their bike.
I also enjoy helping rider's and their crews understand the physics of how the bike and rider need to work together for the best result.
I have worked with MX and Offroad rider's of all levels from beginner to national Pro's.
I am still a avid rider/racer who enjoys MX and Offroad racing regularly, and if you hire me to help you with riding lessons or bike setup, don't be surprised if I'm on track whenever you need a break!
I'm also proud to say that I am an 18 time Team USA ISDE rider, and a Glen Helen Over 50 expert World MX champion.
