Suspension adjustment Seat? - Page 2 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

5'8" 120lbs and mines set at 1 and still seems a little rough at times. It's much smoother with my wife on the back. If I an just get her to stop moving, especially when she has her mp3 player on. I think she's trying to dance or something back there.

I'm 5'11" and 190....still on 3.....seems a good compromise as I do ride the "OL" fairly often....

Have been reading about suspension adjustment, have service manual on VZ800 Marauder, but found no information. Any learned colleagues that can steer me (in detail) to safe adjustment ?

5'5" 150 Pounds set on a 5. I like the added response while cornering with the stiffer suspension. At the factory 3 it seemed mushy to me also, at a five it takes less effort and can lean a little bit more (suspension not giving as much so it takes more lean to scrape the pegs).
