I ride with the air pressure on automatic normal settings. I think that is about 15 lbs front 40 lbs rear. Soon my wife will ride for the first time in 28 years and. Just out for a leasure ride. With all my normal carring stuff and me and my wife, I'm guessing about 330 lbs total. Interested in others air pressure recommendations experience for a 1st Gen MKII..

You may want to add about 10 more pounds to the rear and see how that does. Good luck on your ride getting your wife on with you. I know how much my lady friend adds to my rides.

I'm 285 all by my lonesome and with all the stuff I keep in the bags I'm sure I'm over 330 lbs. I like the ride at 0 in the front (Progressives) and about 65 in the rear. I keep the damper at 2 most the time.

 

Rides pretty smooth for me there.

I uped the front from 15 to 20 and the rear from 40 to 50. It seemed to work ok. I think I'll up the rear some more. I hope to install the progressive springs this winter.

 

Thanks to all.
