Could the weird sag have anything to do with not resetting it before install? I think probably not, but any idea is a good idea at the beginning, right?
Good question, but I don't think it has any effect. I believe the reset appropriately cycles the DC motor to ensure that the shock preload and sensor are set to single rider.Davesax36 said:Could the weird sag have anything to do with not resetting it before install?

Now I'm right in the ball park set between 1up luggage and 2up. I used a 600lb spring. The motor has no problem adjusting preload. Haven't ridden it much so far, but it feels way better.
That is good news, did you use my design?Spaggy said:Yesterday, I changed my spring. I'm 300lbs and had about 90mm of sag while set to 2up luggage.

I will be very interested in your road test results. I'm probably about 250 lbs fully geared up and the 550 Lb/in spring put me right at about 25% of travel set at one rider no luggage and all of my luggage removed.regulator said:I don't know what to say Jeff. On the one hand, 850lbs. works for the gen1, on the other hand, it is a big jump from stock on our ES machines.
Without testing, I must defer to the folks at RT who are obviously better versed in the intricacies of suspension than I. I know that this is their first Gen2 and also know that they have lots of experience with ES systems on other bikes.
I hope to get out for a ride later this week and can share more then.
