Bike is with the monoshock. it ranges from the number zero to five. zero being more relaxed weigh 140 pounds and i ride with my suspension at a zero. the heavier you are, the more passengers you have, the more luggage you have, or combination of a passenger and luggage…this is going to change. if you missed my last video
On how to ride adjusting the suspension prior to riding. you can check that out there (link in description). it’s got all the good details there. so today we’re going to go over the different settings, how to change this, and then give some examples. so suspension setting on zero, is going to be you. alright. we’re
At zero. we’re going to take it up to 0.5. i’m going to turn this guy to the right. okay we’re gonna go halfway motorcyclists that are between 200 and 239 pounds. so turning this to the right, is going to increase turning it to the left, is going to decrease. lefty loosey, same thing with the suspension.
I’m turning it to the right. alright. this is for my riders that weigh 240 pounds to 259 this is for all my riders out there that weigh between 260 and 280 pounds. so you’ve got zero for your riders ranging between 90 to 200 pounds. you’ve got 0.5 for your riders ranging between 200 and 239 pounds. you’ve got 1.0 for my
Riders ranging between 240 to 259 pounds and you’ve got where did i find this information? i’ll put the suspension chart up here, but i’ll provide the link below to harley’s website. all you have to do is enter the vin number for your bike and go to the before you ride setting and then you’re going to see the monoshock
Option there and it’ll give you a chart based on which softtail you have. which version of the soft tail you have. so check that out. i’ll also put it up here. let’s talk about some examples. let’s say i wanted to take matteo for a ride. matteo is my son. he’s three years old. no, i do not take him out on the road, but he
Does love sitting on the bikes. as you saw in my last video, he loves revving the throttle. he has a dirt bike, loves motorcycles, loves going fast. just a wild child. period. so if i took matteo on the bike, iweigh 140 pounds, matteo weighs 39 pounds. so we’ve got my 140, and if you look at that chart it goes up
To 160. so we’re going to do some math there, but then we’re going to take his additional weight. okay and we’re going to still be at 0 for our to the left all the way back down to zero. there it goes. fantastic! (bird’s chirping)birds are flying into nests up there. okay. let’s say, i’m taking matt for another ride. okay. if
A passenger, it was my first live experience enough to volunteer and it was definitely a learning experience. go check that out!! you’re not going to want to miss that. so i weigh 140 pounds, matt weighs 180. a total of 320 pounds on the bike. looking at that suspension chart, we would be at a you are tightening a
Spring/a coil as you start getting closer and closer to that five. alright. so there we go. we’re at three and a half for me weighing 140, my passenger weighing 180, total weight of 320 pounds, three and a half here. i’ll provide that link below that helps you calculate where your suspension should be based on how much
You weigh and based on how much your passenger or because of how you carry the weight. right? when you have a passenger, when you have cargo. okay. so these are important things to consider and adjust. one of the coolest features about the fat bob. i hope you guys enjoyed that! if you have any questions or have
Any additional information what bike you’re rocking, and how long you’ve been riding. if you’re just here because you love motorcycles, but don’t own one yet, i still want to hear from you! yeah, but i’m going to take her back down to zero because it’s gonna feel really alright guys thank you so, so much this is
Themillylife and until next time, i’ll see you guys real soon! bye!
