A HAPPY NEW SPYDER OWNER

[oldfarmerboy]

We finally got it done. A great deal from Mid-South Motoplex Clarksville, TN, A new blue 2012 RTS:yes::yes::yes:OK now for some help from all the great people here on SL. How should I have the shocks and air on the tires set up for 2 up ridding? Since Motoplex is 300 miles away I would like to find a good service department closer to me. My two nearest dealers are Lithgow motor sports Hoopeston IL and Flatout Powersports Martinsvill In. Can any body give me an opinion on there service depatments? Thanks

:welcome: :congrats: on your new pride and joy! Front suspension? I'd bump the front shock preload up to four; that'll reduce the amount that the bike "leans" in the turns. You may want to play with it some more as you gain some confidence and experience though. Tire pressures: perhaps something in the 17 to 20 psi range. That seems to be the sweet spot where most of us end up.
