Some great information here, but can we talk about how many "clicks" on the OEM shock?
The owners manual states that the standard setting is 7 clicks. Being heavier than average, I dialed it to double that. I didn't dial in any more pre-load and went out for a ride with a passenger. My best guess for her weight (I won't ask) is about 150#. The bike felt pretty good, but I did bottom out on a dip that I didn't think I would.
Next ride with passenger, I'm going to add another 7 clicks, but it would be nice if there were some guidelines for how many clicks for how many pounds.
