Ok I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I read the thread about riding two up and need a little more specfic help. I bought my bike used and I dont have a manual with it. I would like to ride my g/f on my bike and have done so previously on a short trip (10 miles), She is a bigger girl (6'0ft, 160-170lbs), I know I'll need adjust my rear air pressue Im at about 36lbs in the rear tire right now and I know I'll have to adjust my rear shock. My question is what pressure should I be running in the rear tire and how do I adjust the rear shock and how much? Any help would be appreciated.

 

I dunno about adjusting the rear shock - you shouldn't have to unless you lowered it or have an aftermarket one fine-tuned for your body weight. I've never touched my shock when going two up.

As for the rear pressure, around 45 should be sufficient. Double check to see what the max is on the tire, make sure you don't go over that. You don't need much more pressure for two people.
