Adjustable Rear Suspension

[temp357]

Can someone please tell me how well that little lever works to change the rear suspension from soft to firm? I'm sure i've seen references to it somewhere, but i can seem to find any info on it.

thx!

It works O.K. When placed on firm it is simply pre-compressing the main spring a little more to increase resistance.

It works fairly well. You only have 2 positions, soft (single rider) and hard (2-up). Secret: put the bike on the center stand (take weight off the rear wheel) when making the switch.

So it's not something you can change on the fly while riding? Is there difference noticeable?

You can not change it while riding. It does make a significant difference. Try it and see what works best for you.

In the past years most set it on the hard setting and ride. If loaded with gear or a pillion the hard setting is a must.
