Hi Tim, first off the Honda is a ruff riding machine, but you have 3 settings you can use. Try all 3 settings to find what best fits your style of riding. I mainly keep my machine at setting 2 in the front and 3 in the back. I'm 265 lbs and I carry about 75 lbs on the back of the machine. I do need new springs on the back. I have a 2020 Honda talon 1000x, stock springs all around. Time to change the rear once.
Just wanted a machine that I can take on any trail. Some places in North East restrict the size of your machine for their trails. I have no complaints about the 1000x.
Ty for the comment. I got 2023 live valve no settings on it just normal or sport settings
Sorry Tim I know nothing about the live valve. But I know the normal setting should be a softer ride then the sport setting. Sorry I couldn't help.
