Thank you for this helpful video but I learned a couple corrections as I did it myself that I'm adding in this comment for others who may also follow this video. The default (middle) spring setting is for a single 150-lb rider according to the manual. If you weigh over 150 lbs and have a bumpy ride then you are bottoming out the suspension, and you should rotate it the opposite direction (to a taller setting). My wife and I weigh about 320 lbs combined and we could feel every tiny bump in the road before, but I adjusted it to the tallest setting and it is much, much better now when she rides with me. It is a little on the stiff side when I ride by myself, but still probably better than before for me alone at 180 lbs. There is no need to jack up the motorcycle to make the adjustment. The two adjustment tools can both be inserted to the sleeve (back to back) to make a longer tool to give you more leverage. Overall I'm very glad that I made the adjustment.
good description supplement to the video, u answered alot of questions....so does that tool come in a bag under the seat, where do I find it and how much? And how many modes is there besides entry level 150lbs. I am 200lbs and ride alone, also, the fender rise a bit when u raise it?
thanks for your feedback . quick ques. where do you see the 'number' on the dial? also,did lowering the dial to 2 or 1, lower the rear fender at all for a cooler look? was it also a softer plush ride? thanks
@@mml1224 Yes, the suspension adjustment tools are in the bike toolkit. The rear fender probably raised a little when I pushed it to the top setting. There are 7 total positions that you can choose from for the rear suspension. The heavier the rider, the taller the setting you should use. By default it is in the middle. For a 200 lb rider I would probably try bumping it up a notch or two for a better ride. You can find the manual online and it has a little more detail that you can reference.
Jese Christ man. Your video is almost 8 min and only 1 min is useful.🙄 After You've done it.Where is result? If You start to do something-finished please.
I don't agree. The first time I would ever do this I would do everything he has done. The issues he had are now issues I won't have if I ever do this. That makes the video worth being on the internet to me. Great video.
All the people who live from Alaska to Patagonia are Americans. You are an American but your presidents tell them that your country is called America and it is not true. It would be useful if you read a little to get out of your ignorance.

Thank you for this vid. Didn't realize it was this easy to change the preload on my Vulcan
great vid. did lowering the dial to 2 or 1, lower the rear fender at all? was it also a softer plush ride? thanks
Did this make is a bit more comfortable (softer) to ride? mine is like sitting on a bag of rocks :/
you should watch some vids on how to do this ?
Do you have a pic of the rear fender after softening the pre load?
What seat is that? Do you like it? Is it comfortable for passengers?
Where did you get that sissy bar?

Just wondering, why do you bother calling your channel How To USA, when you are clearly not an American?
So you can't be an American if you have an accent???🙄
