just a quickie here, for riding 2-up do I tune the whole bike for the wieght or just do the pre-load?? | ||
| Daves |
I'd do all the settings | ||

Agreed ... All the settings. I printed off a copy of the suspension set up table, cut it to size, & laminated it to the under side of the seat. I also wrote the tire pressure there. A quick look at some additional notes and I can adjust the suspension for two up. (+ X turns 2 up, - X turns solo) DAve | ||

It's early days for me but since the weight of the passenger is almost entirely over the rear wheel, I've only been adjusting the rear preload, compression and rebound settings. I've been leaving the front end alone. For a rough as guts guide you can feel the difference when the comp and rebound are screwed in 1/4 of a turn, 1/2 a turn is a fairly large difference. A quick one if you don't want to read the manual is add 2 to 3 turns preload and 3/8 of a turn clockwise on both damping screws, all on the rear only. I'm sure Leatherman's were invented to adjust Buell suspensions. Ride carefully till suspension sussed out. | ||

Opto, for two up riding, you start tuning the bike by PAINTING IT ORANGE! Let me know if you have any other questions. Just trying to help!  | ||

Opto, Don't listen to Dragon. We all know that the Orange Uly's tend to squat and the black ones stand proud! | ||

I got it on good authority that for some reason some the Orange ULYs are just Yellow ones blushing in the presence of Black ones at the factory. Eventually they expect the Orange to fade back to the original yellow. Be prepared for this eventuality. | ||

Hey, I like yellow too, so no problem. Electraglider, it will take more than this to get me down. Like two pitchers of margaritas! | ||

i just cranked the rear preload to max for a 2 up ride today. it was about perfect. i could get a little wallow over super hard bumps at speed...RR crossings. |
