A while back I did my first Supermoto race. I was on the grid and a couple of the riders signalled to the starter that they needed him to do something. He came over and seemed to push a button or something on the front forks as the rider pushed down on the front end.
What were they doing? I forgot to look at the bikes after, but I'm assuming it was some sort of lowering gadget? I'm watching AMA Supermoto on TV right now and I think I just saw a rider reach over the front and do this to his forks as he was approaching the grid. Is it just for launching? Do the forks need to be disassembled to install it? What's this all about? My 'berg could use lowering, so I'm very curious.
