[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1396217, member: 329"] I can only comment on my 14ES because it is the only ES I have ridden. I found that both Soft-3 and Soft-2 did not have enough rebound damping and resulted in the dreaded pogo effect over a big bump or a series of small bumps. At 225lbs, I think the solo setting has too much rear sag so I ride with solo plus luggage and have the damping preset at Soft-1, STD-0, and Hard+3. There is very little difference between the damping settings and 95 percent of the time the STD-0 setting seems to have the highest quality of ride over most road surfaces. Soft is a bit plusher over very smooth surfaces. If I ride with faster riders on lighter bikes I will go to the 2-up preload setting to quicken the steering, using the STD-0 damping. [/QUOTE]
