New member with a question

Last week I bought the 2014 RT, what a nice ride when I'm by myself. However when my wife rides with me there seems to more sway, less cornering control and just not as smooth a ride. I checked the rear shock pressure and it's at 70 lbs. How do I stabilize the ride with a passenger to feel confident that I'm in control?:dontknow:

I have the rear shock psi at 30-35 and find it it's a smooth stable ride.I would also check tire pressure front and rear.

Make sure she knows how to rida as a passenger.

If she's not leaning with you, and just hanging on, that'll throw you off. If you're both new to the Spyder, you need to "learn" how to ride.

When you do, you'll have a blast!

Passenger must help by leaning into corners a little. You can also upgrade with a laser alignment and a Bajaron sway bar.

:congrats: on your new ride! :2thumbs:
Putting a passenger out back is definitely going to affect the handling... :shocked:
Teach her to lean with you in the turns, and slow down a couple of notches while you both get used to the new dance steps.
And of course; a BajaRon Anti-SwayBar, and Laser Alignment will never hurt either! :thumbup:

Obviously, the best solution is to get another Spyder for her own!!nojoke

nice... :clap: :thumbup:
They do tend to travel in pairs! :spyder2::spyder2:

Agree..!!

with the above. Leaning, bars, tire pressure but might check the seat sensor to make sure it is recognizing the passenger. :dontknow:

Also adjust the shocks on the dash. Increase them all the way.
