Thumbs up anyone adjust their rear suspension?

Hey how many of you are still riding on the stock "3" setting? Just curious because I did up until last week when I was reading the manual and decided to tighten things up. Took it to a "5" (i'm only 170 lbs) and wow, the added stiffness makes handling night and day! Before I felt like bike handled ok, but not the greatest and dismissed it as "oh it's a cruiser, no big deal, just go slow." Now it has a new sharp, more precise turn in feel...very confidence inspiring. If you haven't yet, I suggest giving it a try hehe
