Most touring motorcycles with electronic suspension have very limited setting options, but knowing which setting to use and when is still vitally important.
More useful information...can't believe that the rear on its lightest setting has almost no damping...proof that knowledge is everything. Thanks for sharing Dave.👍👍
I ride one-up on my R1250R - I use Road/Max on the road and Dynamic/Max on track. Dynamic damping mode feels too stiff for me on the road in combination with any of the three preload options (maybe as I'm only about 85Kg kitted up) . And yes, having preload on Auto is a bouncy castle as seen in the video!
I have a (2022) Suzuki V Strom SX 250 which is a 250cc Adventure based motorcycle and have driven 1400 km (870 miles) on an odometer. My place is usually hot. Roads are not usually good. I mostly ride with my wife. Please advise how much tyre pressure I should inflate and what level I need to set the rear monoshock for my payload for better stability at confident highway cruising. Rider Weight: 160 Kgs (353 Lbs) Pillion Weight: 75 Kgs (166 Lbs) Kerb Weight: 167 Kgs (368 Lbs) Stock Front Tyre (100/90-R19) Pressure: 22 Psi (I use 27 Psi) Stock Rear Tyre (140/70-R17) Pressure: 29 Psi (I use 37 Psi) Suzuki Recommends 22F/29R for both rider and pillion as Stock. Front Fork Stroke: 120mm Rear Wheel Travel: 143mm Factory Rear Monoshock Setting: 3rd Level (Stock) I currently set it to Level 6 (Maximum Level is 7) to cope with my weight and pillion weight.

Thank you for posting up your experience and settings!!!!

Would raising the forks up 10mm on the RS help quicken the steering a bit?
you would go in 3mm increments for quicker turning. You may find 10mm will create loss of braking power and early rear wheel lift.
Can the same compression / rebound tuning techniques for motorcycles be utilized in the automotive applications (i.e. full adjustable coilovers)?
100% yes for automotive and even more impressive is that tire wear will be very similar indeed with sipes based on rebound and compression.
@@catalystreactionsbw Thank you Dave!!
Not much thorough this guy. He completely ignored road setting, while he was checking road/min only. What about road/auto and road/max?
Road has almost no rebound damping and is useless unless you're on a bad road / highway.
