Adjustable rear suspension on 2014 F6B

[75tsiegel]

Hi,
Is the adjustable rear suspension on the 2014 F6B a new feature? I am interested in the F6B and trying to learn as much as I can about the bike reading this great forum and I don't remember discussion about an adjustable rear suspension feature on the 2013. Thanks in advance. Tom

They all have it - there has been some talk about different spring rates.
Check ut some of Miles old post i think it was him.

Oh, yeah, I forgot, I need to delve into my owners manual......

It's like on the mantel all glowing and stuff.....I mean it didn't really dawn on me
I have actually got an owners manual.......and that I should read it....!!

I know I should, read it. I really should read it...the manual. It's the manual to
that big azzz bike in the garage and it will tell me things I need to know......


I will, read it...

Springs and things......cup holder or backrest...oh God I wish I would have gotten
the heated grip one, those self canceling turn signals are keeping me awake...

I can't sleep without them, I need to go and look at it...is it too late to start it up...?

Yes, it is......ok, just maybe go have a peek.......

'Wings' have, I believe, a rear preload that is electrically adjusted. Kinda like this:

The F6B has a 'similar' system, except the adjuster is a manual 'rotary dial' type hidden behind the (RH?) side cover. A 'remote' preload adjuster similar to this:

I believe there are 38 'clicks' of adjustment. Most are set at "0" from the factory. (Least amount of preload)

IMHO, the rear suspension on mine is a tad stiff,,, Could be because the last bike I had was pretty 'plush' if not a bit too soft. (Yami Stratoliner)
