fxdx/fxdxt suspension factory settings weight range
Hi guys, new rider with a fxdxt 2002.... i noticed the rebound, damping, and adjuster settings on the forks were not equal, so i read the manual and i will be setting the rear/front back to the factory settings for both pre-load...compression and rebound where needed...and give it a spin
My question is... what range in weight "lowest-highest" did harley design for the factory preloads front/rear for single riders? Iam 260lbs and wonder if my weight is past the factory pre-loads to begin with

I did tighten up the compression to 2 from hardest, but left the rebound stock up front. I also tightened the spring to 3 lines but may go to 2 or even all the way. I am going to put in heavier fork oil over the winter to see if that helps. I definitely saw a difference going to 3 lines though. Out back I think I left the rebound stock, maybe a little harder. I have to check. I rode with the spring on 3 and 4 with no problems, but 3 was a little soft. On 5 it is a little firm, but not bad at all. I just leave it there so I don't forget to change it when I ride two up.
