1150 GSA suspensions settings

[zdaveuk]

I`ve trrawled through the posts on here looking for a beginners (numpties) guide to suspension setting on the GSA.

I`m looking for a starting point where I can fine tune it from there as I do realise that thre are variables involved height weight, 2up fully loaded.
Settings for the following would be helpful
1 solo on road
2 2up on road
3 2up loaded also on road

Thanks

How heavy are you and your pillion?

I'm 110 kg, so my settings are more than half way up as a start point.

I wind everything up full on the back when 2-up, then back off a notch. Keep it full with luggage. Two clicks up on the front all the time.

we`re both light weights 90kgs and 60kgs(son)

The book is pretty vague:
Rear shock adjustment: screw in the adjuster screw all the way, then back off one turn for "normal" riding!
Hard setting is screw in all the way. Soft setting is back off all the way.

Rear preload adjsutmentSolo setting is to turn the knob as far as it will go to LOW. For HIGH setting turn all the way to HIGH for off road or or 2 up with luggage.

Front shock pre load. 5 settings: 1 is road. 3 is loose surfaces (?) and 5 is off road.

In other words, bugger about with it till you're happy.

Have fun
