I want to take my wife out on the bike but was wondering about the suspension settings. I have the book and me being at 185 and her maybe 110 puts the settings pretty high. I was thinking of putting them in the middle and leaving them instead of switching back and forth. Thoughts? How will my ride very? | ||

Keep the damping the same, just change preload so your sag in front is about 35mm, the rear about 25mm. You'll be pretty close for a start. Small tweaks and after a few rides, record your settings to make switching back-and-forth very simple. | ||

It only takes a few minutes to set it up properly. It makes a world of difference. The first, non-adjusted, ride was a nightmare on my arms during breaking. There was too much dive. There was also too much squat when accelerating. I always set mine up correctly now. It's a safety thing for me. I made a copy of the suspension setting chart, laminated it, and I keep it in the tool bag. One more important thing is that setting it up correctly will keep your headlights pointed at the ground, instead of the clouds. |
