Shocks Setting?
#1
My shocks are still on the factory setting...Meaning the (2) second position. I weigh about 185 and this setting seems perfect. Does anyone suggest an adjustment, either up or down? As I've said, all seems well as is...But hey, I'm bored, and this is a forum to gab about this sort of stuff...If I can't discuss it here, where else could I?

I clicked mine up one to position 3. I am about 150lbs. Seemed to settle the rear in turns some.

There is an existing thread that is very informative!

My recommendation is always to try it at one end of the spectrum, say 1 st position, and run your favorite road. Was that too soft? Come back and set it in the highest position and run the same road. now was it too stiff? This will give you the softest and the hardest to judge from. Need it softer, go down one position from full stiff and go run the road. Need it softer yet? Go down another position and go run the road. Organized trial and error will tell you which is the right shock position for your weight and riding style. If nothing else you get to run your favorite road a bunch of times lol.

Sometimes I will ride it in one position for awhile, and then get a wild hair to stiifen or soften it for awhile.

Stock shocks and springs are pretty basic, so don't expect a whole lot out of them
