Should I stiffen the suspension up?

Post by Giddsy »

Off on a road trip down to Croatia for 3 weeks :D and will be two up. Do you reckon I should stiffen up the rear and / or front suspension? We're both skinny scroats (12st and 9st) and I haven't mucked about with the suspension before.

Cheers for your input...

I'd up the preload on the rear a couple of notches. You might be "skinny scroats" but the rear will be getting a good workout when the luggage is added in there as well.
