[QUOTE="bergmen, post: 1191571, member: 15189"] When I picked up my 2014A last November I asked the dealer what the initial suspension settings were. He didn't know. When I got home I set everything to the minimum settings as indicated in the manual (pages 4-38 to 4-40). During my tests I found the handling much as you describe in the OP. After riding a bit to become familiar with the bike (first time FJR owner) I set the suspension to the "Standard" settings front and rear (spring preload, compression and rebound damping in front, damping in rear). This made a world of difference and it handles like it is on rails (no load, light load, touring load, all speeds and road surfaces). I weigh about 230 in full gear, ride solo 95% of the time. Michelin PR4 tires, 40F, 42R. I have not changed the rear preload force, it is on soft. Dan [/QUOTE]
