Anyone have to adjust their suspensions when they installed their jardine? If so what did you change your settings to? I'm about 215 and just wanting a few different takes on suspension set up. I just tried to set up my static sag and everything but it doesn't work real well when you have progressive suspension. :-\

I'm not sure I understand what diff. changing the muffler has to do with the suspension settings. You are talking about a 10lb. diff. between mufflers.

There is a chart in the service manual that tells you what settings to put your suspension at based on your weight.

I'm not sure why progressive suspension would change the usual rule for suspension baseline setup.

With the Vance and Hines which weighed in at 7lbs, I backed off the "aggresive" settings by a quarter turn on compression and rebound front and rear, and half a line for preload on the forks. Bike balanced right back out. That 10lbs difference is noticeable when its a part of the bike more then part of the rider.
