what do you suggest for pressure on the suspension - yiterp - 12-21-2007
i am always trying to get the ride just the way i want it but never seems like i want it to be--i am a light weight--lol--150lbs what do you suggest for the setting on the front and rear for a nice smooth ride

front I keep at 0, but then again I have added progressive springs.... rear.... I don't know, I just fill it till it feels right.... but you are right.... lite weights like us get a stiffer ride no matter what

gidday, bit of al light weight myself and it took some playing around to feel comfortable
I settled for about 6lb psi front rear 28 lb psi., with no luggage and just me. the front may feel a bit hard at slow speeds but works well on open road (60 mph)
for carrying a bit of luggage, and on a long trip at mostly open road speeds, On the digital readout on the front, I take it up, just until another bar starts to show,so it probably be about 9lbs psi and I do same with the rear which would be about 30lb psi.
the trac system is set at 3
cheers,

What tires do you run? You might want to consider running the minimum recommended tire pressure to help soften the ride.
