[QUOTE="Jon T, post: 320655, member: 10328"] I recently bought a 2004 FJR1300A. I'd like to experiment a little with adjusting the suspension, but after reading the manual, I'm not quite sure what the "real life" affects of the various adjustments will be. I don't have the manual in front of me, but I recall there being 2 types of adjustments for the front forks, an adjustment for the rear, plus the sliding adjustment under the seat (soft/firm). I'm 170 lbs. Most of my riding is tame commuting, so that would be my "default". Any guidance on where I might want to start? What things would I change on the days I wanted to head to the hills and be a bit more sporty? When going 2-up (wife is 140 lbs), is moving the lever from soft to firm usually enough? If not, what other adjustments would you recommend? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
