Im planning a trip for my wife and I for the weekend on my 06 S40, and I read somewhere that the springs must be adjusted for dual riding. I'm 5'6"-125 lbs an d wifey is 5'3" 105 lbs. Is this necessary or I'm fine with the stock setting? If not, how do I readjust?

You guys are doing good. Heck, I hate to say, but I weigh more than both you guys together. I keep it on #4 anyway.

Plus the 2 of you aren't as "thick" as we are. If ya ever wanted to see something hilarious, that woulda been the one time that I had to give my spouse a ride on mine. We were so wedged between the back rest and the tank that I could barely see the speedo. That time, we were the saddle bags and I needed a setting of 10!

Good that I started the Atkins diet, ain't it?

Excuse Me? I ain't the only fatty.

Maybe a picture would have been better than a thousand words, actually. Truth is; it happened, and it was our goal to get from point A to B before no more than necessary could see us. Besides, the gas tank hurts.....

Never-the-less the Savage ain't meant for that, but it did haul "ass" at 60 without any complaints.

How's that for a compliment from a short fat lady?

Panther Ex Member	Re: Dual riding Reply #22 - 01/30/06 at 14:18:06 You know, I went this past weekend again with my wife on a ride, this time even farther on both city and mountain roads, in the number 2 setting on the shocks. And it wasn't that bad at all. Number 4 is stiffer, but number 2 isn't that bad.

dichotomous Ex Member	Re: Dual riding Reply #23 - 03/07/06 at 12:38:09 yeah I am about what the two of you together are as well, so I'd like to up the suspension a little bit, maybe to 3.... so I just grab a rod, maybe a strong philips scredriver, and clunk it in there and spin that mo' around clockwise one click?
