[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1462587, member: 3828"] Yes. That is what any pre-load adjustment does; it changes the ride height. That is all that it does. It doesn’t make the spring any stiffer. The shock will still compress the same amount with a given added load, just starting from a higher point. Note: The lever on an “A” (non-ES) is not a preload adjuster. It mechanically blocks out a section of the spring to make it stiffer. On the ES suspension, the SCU will only allow you to change the preload setting when you aren’t moving, but you can change the damping on-the-fly. When you are standing over, or sitting on the bike while changing the preload setting you can definitely feel the back end move up or down. [/QUOTE]
