Bike Feels weird

I was going to get some after market shocks.....now I'm gun shy. I have mine set on 3 and sometimes the pot holes are unbearable.

Ive had stock Roadster front and rear, lowered ikon f&R, Wilbers rear and soon i'll have Wilbers front.

All I can say is stock is much better than IKON lowered for being kicked in the arse with every bump. I had them professionally installed and all i can say is.... Ive been in cage fights with blokes 3 times my size and twice my weight, i have had bones crushed, been through all sorts of physical pain including being stabbed in an isolated incidents when i was younger........I have never experienced pain to the point of tears other than riding on the IKON suspension that kept jarring my back riding up the hume highway that is as smooth as a fillipino babes arse.

Stock on three is ok if you don't weigh much and have the right seat.

I love my Wilbers and can ride all day cruising or riding hard on b roads, sitting on my corbin which is a very firm seat but still very comfy.

I weigh in at a mere 76 kg I have stock shocks and have never adjusted them . I'm assuming 1 is the softest and the other end of the scale the hardest ? What setting would u recommend for a light fella like me

Just read the manual and im going to drop mine to setting two ill see how that feels and then maybe 1 after but i think two would be good for me i dont want it too soft

I have my standard R3R shocks set on the softest setting and there still rock hard. I'm going to look at after market shockies down the track.

I just went out into the shed to adjust them but they are already on 1 the softest setting also
maybe i should do the same

The idea of suspension travell is to use it thats what it is for but with standard shockies and my 72 kilos mine doesn't travel much.
