What setting should I use if I weigh about 190 pounds for the 250R? I have it set on #3 and the dealer had it originally on #1. I am wondering if I should just put it on 5, but someone said it might be way to stiff at 5. It seams to be ok but it does drop a few hairs on 3. Should it drop at all? My dirt bikes use to drop a little bit, but I liked the softness when riding dirt. This is my first street bike so I am curious what I should be riding on?

Thanks,

Bryan

 

A lot of preference. I ride mine of the highest level, 5, but I'm used to RR bikes and stiff suspension. It's my preference. Having said that, I may bump it down to 3 or 4 so it doesn't slide me into the gas tank quite so badly, and so it rides a bit softer. The handling will still be great, no doubt. If it's feels mushy or sloppy, I'll bump it back up. Try different stuff and see what you like. It only takes a minute to change.

 

Bryan, I bumped mine up to 3 and I weigh 170 pounds. I'm riding it on thatsetting for about a month before I decide to take it down to 2, which I'll probably do...even at 3 it seems to push meforward on the seat.

 

Awsome guys, thanks for the information. I will make the change in the next few day to 5 and see the difference. I think 3 is ok, but I was just curious what others thought...

Thanks again guys,

Bryan
