Hey guys, Last night was the first time me and the GF went for a ride on the new scoot. She is by far the best passenger I have ever had on a bike. Anyways.. I noticed that my New Street Bob bottomed out a couple times on the ride.. bottom the shocks out is what it felt like. They are stock but they should not be that loose and have no adjustment on them? Anyone else have an issue with stock ones when 2 UP? do I need new ones? thanks guys.

 

If you haven't adjusted the shocks for 2-up, read the owners manual.

 

I thought the springs can be adjusted with a higher pre-load, stock shocks are not adjustable.

 

There is a two up adjustment? Unfortunately I do not have the owners manual.

 

You need this.

Thanks! I couldn't even see where the adjustment is made. I have progressives on my other bike and the wrench, but its exposed where it adjusts.

 

My "stock shocks "would be adjusted to the 3rd position. Since riding with the progressives only level two.

 

Get the owners manual. Adjust the shocks to suit the load.

 

Just posting to say that there are things that can be said (kinda surprised they haven't been)....but I'll be nice

 

There's no need for them to be. Not many middle-school aged kids on here.
