GolfVenture Posted August 13, 2011 #1 Posted August 13, 2011 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..

Good luck on your ride getting your wife on with you. I know how much my lady friend adds to my rides. RandyA

Snaggletooth Posted August 13, 2011 #4 Posted August 13, 2011 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. Mike
GolfVenture Posted August 14, 2011 Author #5 Posted August 14, 2011 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.
