I,ve been looking all over the web and I don't have a manual yet. What load to what number on the shock? how much air pressure for two up riding ?
thanks mark
The stock shocks max out at 43psi. From the factory, they're set at 17psi which is what they say is good for a 175# person. I'm about 250, and my wife is not the thinnest girl in the world, so I started out at 40psi with the damper set at 4. It wasn't as harsh as I thought it might be. It was pretty comfortable actually. I might back both of those settings back a bit next time out, I don't know. I just got her backrest on the bike, so now she'll ride, so it's all kinda new to me too. Just don't use a regular pump on those shocks. Get a no loss pump, like the one progressive makes. The 60# model is good. Also, jack the bike up so there's no weight on the rear tire when you do it.
As a point of reference, I run 20#'s and damper setting 2 then I'm solo. I get a nice buttery soft ride, and I've only bottomed the shocks out once over a massive bump in the road at speed.
