    Default Preload Setting on 2012 rt?

    I read my owners manual for the preload suspension settings. It says the preload can be between 30 psi and 90psi. Riding two up me at 226 pounds & GF at slightly less, could somebody give me a guesstimate of approximate preload psi?

    Default

    I'd probably start at 60 psi, and work my way up towards 75 psi...
    The Missus and I total out to about 360 pounds together, and we kept ours at about 65 psi.

    Default Start low

    Don't be afraid to go lower. I started out at 50 and have experimented with lower PSI's. The last ride we took I dropped down to 35 PSI and I'm going to try 30 next time out. I would say we are about the same weight as you and going from 40 to 35 PSI my passenger said there was a noticeable improvement.
