Former AMA Champion Jamie James has taken on a new role, as a suspension consultant for Ohlins.
Speaking at Infineon Raceway Friday, James said he would be attending the rest of the 2003 AMA National road race events to “talk to riders and help them come up with a better set-up, break down the communications barrier and maybe do some testing.”
James said he worked with suspension expert Dale Rathwell during much of his racing career, but that quality suspension help was not readily available to all riders.
“Back when I was racing, I don’t think it was available to everybody,” said James. “Most of the factory teams already have Ohlins technicians, but I’m here to help anyone who is using Ohlins suspension on their bikes. There are no favorites at the Ohlins truck.”
James won AMA National Championships in 750cc Supersport and Superbike in 1989, Pro Twins GP1 in 1990 and 600cc Supersport in 1994.
