[QUOTE="Bill Lumberg, post: 1233185, member: 87479"] I don't normally run the rear set to hard unless I'm carrying the wife or a lot of gear. But dialing it up a bit does help, as does a pound or two up front. Despite ensuring everything was tightened to spec and pressures were good, mine required pressure on the inside bar in turns that was roughly akin to that required for a pushup. Just amazing...ly bad. Replaced factory tires with PR2's, and it's a neutral steering bike for the first time since it left the showroom. I forgot to switch the rear back to soft after riding with the wife this weekend, and it's not bad. I just need to go back to the manual to see which way I turn the rear knob to increase damping.
