2012 RTL Front Shock Adjustment

[Tonylmiller]

I'm about to begin experimenting with the preload adjustment. Where are you keeping yours set, or do you ever adjust it? The manual says I need to jack it up to adjust the shocks so I guess I will do that.

Mine appear to be in the middle, but I want to firm it up and just see the impact on handling.

I had a 2011 RSS ( and an 08 GS ) ..... these spyders had the same type of adjusters as the 12 year ..... I DIY'd a bracket that changed the shock angle ( more up-right ) ( I have pics of that bracket in one of my Albums ) .... The bracket improved the firmness of the shock ... so I could ride at a # 1 setting and still have a firmer ride ..... Mike :thumbup:

I just bought mine and so I thought I should check the tire pressure. It had 11 psi in the front tires. Sheesh. That should help.

If your Spyder still has OEM -Kenda's .... then use the PSI's in your owners manual .... If spyder now has Auto tires both Peter and I recommend 15-17 psi front .... and 18 psi rear .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
