Rear shock adjustment for pillion and bags
#1
Hi,

I did try to look for an existing thread but couldn't find any that helped me, so here it is:

The missus and I combine for 125kg (275lbs) give or take 5kg (10lbs). With luggage it tops at 145kg (320lbs).

Curretly the rear preload is set to the standard 2nd notch. Do you guys have any idea if I should adjust to the third or fourth?

The owners manual doesn't give ranges like other manuals do.

Also, would 20kg of luggage make a difference so big that I would have to go a notch higher than just with the missus on board? (Say if with the missus is third notch, with the additional luggage is fourth)

Thanks!
