There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Yes, stiffening the suspension will make you feel all the roads imperfections. You'll have to decide which is more important handling on curves or the smoothness of the ride.

DEALER ??????
Are you saying the dealer adjusted the rear spring up to a #4 setting.?????, If you don't like it you or someone can lower it to 3 or even 2 as long as you ride single most of the time......The front shock/spring has more to do with the handling IMHO.....and yes the tighter the suspension the better it handles but there is a trade off....and that's comfort.......Mike.......In order to have the best of both worlds you will have to spend upwards of $ 4000 to get it.......PERFECT is never cheap.....

That has been the trade-off with suspensions ever since they gave up on the buggy spring. More spring preload gives less body roll, but a harsher ride. Less spring tension gives a cushy ride but hampers performance in the corners. It's all a balancing act. Being able to also adjust damping (as on some Elkas) can give a bit of the best of both worlds sometimes....or the worst of both if you get the adjustements wrong.

:agree: You're always balancing on the edge of a knofe blade: ride versus handling... :shocked:

You can always do a half round of wedge adjustment, put a spring rubber in, or take a 1/2 pound of air out of the right rear. Are you loose in and tight out in turns 1 and 3 in clean air ???? :shocked:
