I took the spyder in for the 3000 mile service picked it up yesterday,
I told the tech to turn the shocks to the highest setting i brought home a different bike no more walking all over the road in high winds.I got behind trucks on purpose to see if it helpedand boy did it ever.Thanks for the good advice

Good on the shock setting, now adjust your air pressures...put 25 in front and 32 in back, ride some, let some out, ride some, let some out...you get the picture. When it meets your riding needs, you will love it. I am 220 and set shocks at 4, fronts at 18, rear at 30 and I ride along. Works for me, but this is a personal setting.

2011 shocks on 4
18 psi up front
26 psi out back

ACS is normally jacked up to about max most of the time.
I'm 195, and the Missus ain't telling! :D

I agree with Big Red 1 fine tune suspension to satisfy you.

I weigh 205 lbs. Ride single.

Front shock set on 4
Front tires 20 psi.

Rear shock set at middle mark.
Rear tire 30 psi.

Check tire psi. at least once a week.

I rode my 2012 RT LTD for the first 200 miles with the front shocks set on 3. I switched to 5 and the difference is unbelievable. There might be Elkas and a sway bar in my future.

:2thumbs: We've got the site sponsors here who'd be more than happy to set things right under the front end of your :f_spider:
In fact; they'd turn it into a :spyder2:
