Suspension guys had the bike 6 months now so getting use to it and i have read lots of old posts on the matter ,but being lazy thought i would ask for any setting being used by you guys ,i,m around 19 stone with gear on wife around 12 stone and its a 50 50 split between riding on my own and 2 up ,also after a good electric compressor just a small one for the bike not to carry just for the garage to use when needed
Hi lloyd
Compressor:
I've had a Michelin Digital Compressor for a number of years. Plugs into the bike. Doubles as a work light, USB plug and 12 volt cigar lighter type take off if required. Works quickly, I also carry an accurate digital tyre pressure gauge, so I don't rely on the displayed tyre pressure. Sold by many, including Halfords. I take it on longer trips rather than "her in doors".
Suspension settings:
There's plenty on here about that. People, bike age, style of riding all different, so wouldn't recommend any particular setting as it would be countered almost immediately and wouldn't help you in any way.

I always have a slime compressor on board with a rubber mushroom kit. Takes up no space and let's me top up the tyres when touring. Never had to use the mushroom kit on the go thankfully. I have put a 30amp cigar lighter socket lead in off the battery under the seat as certainly the slime compressor and I imagine most others would blow the 5a cigar lighter on the dash.
Yes I agree with NG, like tyres and oil there will be all sorts of hissy fits if anyone recommends anything.
Have you tried setting up using the manual that comes with the bike as a starting point? All I will say is we have found that with all panniers full we need an extra 3 clicks on the rear to compensate.
If you haven't got the manual let me know and I'll scan the bit you need.
