After too many complaints (we ride 2-up) of getting jarred around from back road bumps and pot holes, I went back to square one and started adjusting the shock on our 400. It's hard for me to tell, being on the 'middle' of the bike, it's pretty smooth. I was on # 3, went to # 5, worse, so going against what I felt was common logic for 2-up riding, I went to #1 and BINGO! What a difference. We rode down our pot holed street a half dozen times testing, and it was very obvious when we hit it on #1. So far NO bottoming, which means it may still be too stiff? But we're both very happy! :thumbup:
FYI, I weigh 180lbs and the fiancé about 130lbs. So over 300lbs on the softest setting! Yes, I know, it doesn't sound right, but I have set up a LOT of long travel shocks before so I do have a decent idea.
It's easy enough, just try it, you may be surprised. :shock:
Edit: This is reading the position numbers from the side, NOT from underneath.
