Two up riding on the RS-S

[gman214]

Took my girlfriend on a quick ride and she's hooked! She's never ridden a motorcyle before but wanted to ride the :spyder2:. I even let her drive around the neighborhood. After a couple of stalls, she didn't do too bad.

This was the first time I've had an adult passenger. Definitely can tell a difference in the ride. But not sure if I will upgrade the sway bar. Or will prolong two up riding show the need?

Upgrade the sway bar and install the Fox suspension on the front. You'll be glad you did.

My wife and I ride two up and the BajaRon anti-sway bar is a must.

Its a pretty small expense for the improvement in ride quality and handling.

While the fox shocks come standard on the RS-S, the sway bar does not. I rode an RS with one and it reduces the body roll while cornering.

Just sayin'............

Depends..!

Will you be ryding double a lot or will she be getting her own..??:roflblack: If your happy with the solo handling your fine though the BajaRon swaybar is a real plus. You can just adjust your shocks for the double ryding and see how much that helps. Then go from there...:thumbup:

The OP's ride is a 2011 RSS. Fox shocks were the next year, I believe.

The Bajaron sway bar is a nice upgrade. But I found that I had to disconnect the passenger sensor, as the nanny would slam the brakes on when riding quickly. The result of that is that I can lift a wheel a few inches off the ground before it shuts me down. Never feels like a big deal, as anyone accustomed to snowmobiling quickly would attest to.
Be mindful of loading as well, I found that weight in the saddlebags and frunk make at least as much of a difference.
