Hey guys. I was wondering how you guys set your bikes up to ride with a passenger? What kind of air pressure in the tires? Do you stiffen up the rear shock at all? I plan on doing some riding this summer with my lovely lady, but am curiuse on setups.

 

I don't change anything when carrying a passenger. Run stock pressure, 36psi front, 42psi in rear. I have the rear spring kicked up quite a bit, but I'm 6'3" and 220 lbs. I've carried both guys and gals on the back with no problems. I think you'll be fine.

 

thanks. Yea, we went for about a 15 minute ride the other day as it was alil chilley. I wasnt sure on tire pressure, or rear spring. mine seemed alittle soft, but nothing out of the ordinary. I'm about 5.6 -5.7ish so raising my rear spring is sorta outa the question, as the bike is almost too tall for me now.

 

yeah i'm bout 5'8'' and just barely able to lay my feet flat, i dont touch anything when i ride a passenger and have no prob's
