    Adjustable rear suspension on 2014 F6B

    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

    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)
