999S Bip - Rear Ohlin\'s Setting & Tyre Pressure (Two Up)
 

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).

Rod.... your brave mate.... :lol:

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 .... :cool:

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!!
