| I have seen other posts where members have stated the front end seems very light. I noticed that as well. I was looking through the owners manual and I saw the rear shock is set to level 3 at the factory. I changed it to level 6 and I have noticed a huge difference. The bike is much more stable at speed, especially over 65MPH. Has anyone else tried this?

| Yes.....and I agree with you on the stability. Did the same thing and got the same results, like it much better.

| wow all the way to six. So how much harder does she take the bumps, or better yet, bumps in the curves.

| The hardest setting is 8. I am 230 lbs and set to 6 I do not feel uncomfortable on the bumps at all. I don't know if it really improves handling on curves or if I just feel more comfortable leaning over further because of the increased stability in the steering but I think the bike handles better now.
