[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1172449, member: 329"] Why are you asking about a harsh ride when you haven't even bothered to test the suspension in the "hard" position? A harsh ride is the result of either too stiff of springs, too much compression damping, or springs that are so soft the bike is actually bottoming over bumps. Try the hard position (which results in a heavier spring rate), back off the damping if the ride is still harsh, and tell us the difference in ride between the two spring settings. How rough are the roads that you are encountering a harsh ride? It would also help to know your weight. A 150 lb rider is going to get a much different result than a 250 lb rider. [/QUOTE]
