Split: Weight limit for ES Model?

[K_Flyer]

Another solution to consider is the one we adopted: get your wife her own bike.

Fred, thanks for the info on the pre-load ratios.

With the wife, bags, topcase, and traveling, we easily exceed the max weight on my A. As long as the rear lever is flipped to hard, and the preload is cranked to one or no rings showing up front, we can enjoy slab or mountains with good handling and comfort. Forget to flip that rear lever though- and it's big time no bueno.
