Mike,
Is that with the lower rear tire pressure and does she feel like the rear suspension is dampening?

Buddy: Yes that is with the lower tire pressure ( 22#) and she appears to be dampening. I have no plans on making any adjustments.

Mike,
I'll do that when we can. This weekend has been a washout thunderstorms all day yesterday and so far this morning. We'll try and get out for a bit this afternoon if it clears up and after the Nascar race. I readjusted the rear tire pressures and put the shock pump in the tour pack, so we'll be ready to go hopefully later on.

Buddy: Like you this weather sucks. It has rained all week-end and supposed to rain every day next week.

Ok,i see by this thread that most are running their tires at the pressure recommended in the owners manual or close to it.I just had my 1000 mi.service done a week or so ago and noticed the shop had upped the pressure to 42 front and 32 rear.I'm wondering why.

Obviously, they don't read the manuals.

Of course this is the same place that told me there isn't anyway to adjust the clutch too.

I think you had better find another place to go.
