Carrying a pillion and full panniers - suspension setting?

[badsaboy]

Just want to know how much i need to adjust the suspension. Is it just the rear?

[barwel1992]

[badsaboy]

well im 16 stone and had them all wound to hardest with just me on it, so im guessing you and you pillion weigh more than that combined ? so id just wind the front all the way in, and turn the back to its hardest as well

Stupid question but how do you do it.

[badsaboy]

Adjust it I mean??

There are notched nut/nipple things on the top of each fork, and the rear is adjusted with a c-spanner that should be included in the SV toolkit.

Do you have the SV or Haynes manual? Its in there too.

This is how it is for my curvy anyway.

hold on a sec i will go and get some pics ...

[badsaboy]

The c spanner for the rear I understand but I'm a bit thick when it comes to the front. Ill search online there must b a video or something. Cheers for the help though!

cant get to the forks.. they are on the rafters

the arrow on this pic is where you need to adjust, it has a screwdriver slot in it (flat head type) screw that all the way in to the forks so its flush with the rest of the fork
