F3T Limited edition - where's the info on the adjustable air shock?

[SpyderSue]

I must be blind. I've looked in my owner's manual, downloaded a shop manual, looked through this forum - and I see no instructions on how to adjust the rear air shock for 2 up riding. :banghead:

Help please?

Oh, and while you're at it - how do you adjust the BRP backrest?

Must be Monday... :yikes:

Look under the seat. It will tell you the pressure to use as to the weight you are. Settings for single and 2 up are there. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Interesting

Since this is a manual process would you add air just like adding air to your tires?

Air shock and BRP backrest adjustments

Okay - I found the valve for the air shock. For those who don't know the lingo (as I didn't) this is called the ACS system. You add air just like adding air to a tire. I found mine was set at Zero (sigh). I was surprised at quickly the rear of the bike came up when adding air. I adjusted to 30 psi and will go for a wee ride to see how that feels.

The adjustment for the backrest - remove the rear seat and pull up on the backrest. It comes right out. You have to unzip the cover (use a paperclip as there are no taps) and fold the backrest down. You will see a screw - screw it out for a more forward position, screw it in for a more back position. I didn't see anything that looked like a lumbar support adjustment, but didn't take it completely apart.

The things you learn by knowing (eventually) the right questions to ask. :yes:
