Any suggestions on how much I should turn up the adjustment knob on the rear ohlins unit, in preparation for a two up trip including Ventura rack and luggage on my 999S and tyre pressures, front and rear. My other half is a very svelt 8 stone and Im a little shy of 10 stone plus the luggage which will be in the region of 30lbs (15-20 kg).
just stick with the same setup first..... give it a try... you could wind the spring preload up a few turns... and the same with the compression damping.... just go for small changes ....
Well not so much brave, more adventurous really. Have done at least four trips round Europe on my last Dukes but never two up, so this is a first !! Sadly it will be the last time it is on UK shores as I have moved to Italy now and the bike will be staying out there with me. As I said I will post some pics of it soon, once I have fitted the new Febur nose to it and removed the luggage rack!!
