Preload setting

[GSAdvMelbourne]

I've been playing around with the preload knob on my 03 GS Adv. What setting do most people have it on for one up riding. I used to have it wound up pretty high but then noticed the standard setting marked on the barrel under the knob. I've since had it on that and can't decide which is right, I'm about 15 stone.

Cheers,

Ed

I found my settings by setting at the hardest setting and then backing off until I felt the bike handle how I liked it.

I'm the same weight and bike as you and suprisingly ( to me anyway ) I've found that two clicks harder than standard works best for me. If I've got a pillion, I go another 1-2 clicks stiffer. When I tried stiffer settings beyond that ( which is what I thought would work best ) , my bike definately handled worse
