Shock absorber settings

[ken]

Being the mechanical idiot that I am ::), please advise me - on what setting is best for riding two up. Note - wife is 5'8, about 150 lbs. No girl friend at this time.....

You can't carry your wife and girlfriend at the same time anyway, so no problem. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

For two up riding I would keep about 30 pounds of air pressure and use the III setting.

I'm about 170 and the wife's about 150.
I keep mine as Gene has suggested.
Of course it's whatever you think gives you the best ride and control.

I'm 250 and wife is 140 running 22 psi and III on the rebound.

When the time comes along where you can take them both for a ride just add a sidecar. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Or one in front and one in back http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif sounds like fun to me http://s2.images.proboards.com/shocked.gif

I'm 180 and the wife is 130 I have it set on 3 with about 25 psi air. Nice and smooth whether two up or no...............

Thats what I found works best for me as well when riding two up.
