I haven't experimented with the "back shock adjustments" and looking for the experienced people opinions. I weigh 240 at 6' 1" and my shocks are set at 5 from day of purchase. If others have set theirs to a lesser number at near or my weight, what would they consider a good setting? When breaking or going over bumps the front can be felt cushioning such has when braking at times also. Is there to be a cushioning feeling on the back shocks as well? I haven't seen anything previously posted on this subject and would appreciate others input. Again, mine were as were upon purchase.

If the ride feels good to you leave it alone, or go down to 4 and see how it feels. Firm, it handles better as it keeps the wheel planted on the ground. Soft, the better your butt and back feels. I like soft myself being older than dirt. ;) ;D :-*

Everyone's riding style and preferred feel is different. It's easy to play with the settings, ride it, see if you like it better... Just keep the 2 sides the same.

And dont ever go from 5 to 1 and vice versa

My shocks' set for two.
Smooth on the bumps and humps,
But bad for the ass when riding solo.
