[QUOTE="Jon_PDX, post: 947096, member: 27985"] blrfjr, Soft or hard setting (the lever on the side just under the seat) is up to you. Some set it on hard and leave it there. Others only set it on hard for 2-up riding. As far as the adjuster on the bottom of the rear shock, it controls the rebound. Rebound controls how how fast the shock extends back to normal ride height after being compressed. I would start at 12 clicks out (the stock setting) and if the rear of the bike feels like it is returning to quickly (seat springs back up to fast) after hitting a dip in the road then start adding more rebound by turning it in. I don't think I explained that very well but hopefully you got an idea of what I'm talking about. If you read back through this thread you will see what others have set both the front and rear to. Only make one change at a time so you know what the overall effect has on the bike. Once you start changing the settings you will get a feel for what needs to change for the type of riding you do.
