ohlin shock adjustment

so i got some ohlins hd 772 a while ago and they are badass
depending on my mood and how my back is feeling i adjust the compression/rebound within one click and the spring tension one full turn
anyay i couldnt be happier with them

the questions is, when putting a passenger on the back how should i adjust them, i dont rride with passenger very often and id just like some basic info

It's one full turn of preload for every 25 lbs of passenger weight (and tourpack, etc).

I agree they work awesome!

do you leave the compression/rebound alone?

I just adjust my rebound a few notches more. Easier to do. Seems to do the trick considering I'm not one dragging with a passenger on board.

I have the rebound where I like it solo and I have not needed to change it with a passenger and tourpack. Perhaps because I ride more conservatively with her on the back.
