I'm a veteran motorcyclist of almost 60 years; offroad racer, long distance touring, dual sort and adventure rider. I understand overall bike setup, adjusting the clickers, setting the sag and changing the spring rates.
My question today is mostly specific to the Tenere ( I am going to order either a standard or a ES). The intended purpose will be 80% 2 lane road, and 20% gravel/dirt roads. Easy enough until you consider that I will be solo 30% of the time and 2 up 70% of the time.
My wife enjoys riding as much as I do, and I enjoy taking her.
I weigh 200# in street clothes, and she weighs 150. The side cases will be lightly loaded with about 15# ( total) of jackets and rain gear, plus I use a tank bag with less than 8# of gear.
I can set the suspension to compensate for either solo riding OR riding double. Will the ES provide the option to electronically change the settings from solo to double within reason? I am aware that fork and shock springs may need to be changed, and there will be some level of compromise one way or the other.
What do you think???
