Hey guys n gals, stupid question coming up!!!
I am off for a long weekend on the Storm with the missus but every time I take a pillion out the front feels a bit light so am thinking of stiffening up the rear shock for the weekend away.
Now I have never adjusted my rear shock before so am seeking advice. So firstly how do I do it and secondly any suggestions for settings with a 8 and a half stone passenger and a fully loaded tailpack?
Cheers all

Have you been yet? Is I too late?
Oh well. I used to just add a notch on the rear preload spring (two with gear) and a couple of turns stiffer on the front to aid with braking. What you really need to do is to try a couple of settings with the two of you on there and then settle with a setting somewhere between comfort and handling, there is always a compromise between the two.
