RT Suspension setting preference

[ramble]

When solo and with medium loads in the saddlebags what gives you the most comfortable ride? Auto, Min or Max? Do you use ROAD or DYNA for damping mode?

I use Auto and Road mostly.

I found "ROAD" to be too bouncy, therefore I keep mine on Dynamic for the most part. That's the only adjustment I have on my 2022. Preload is automatically set based on load.

Confused on that. I always thought Dynamic more for twisty's .

I use dynamic mode with road suspension setting. Too many bumpy roads in Central Pennsylvania.

I ride most of the time in “road “ and use “dynamic “ mainly for the twisty’s. Pennsylvania roads are a little too rough for dynamic all the time. Seems the RT could use a little more suspension adjustment for general riding.

I use “Road Mode”, Dynamic ESA set to “One-Up w/Luggage”.

Every year the Trucker's Association, or somesuch group ranks the nation's worst roads by state. For many years it was almost always a neck and neck race between Pennsylvania and Missouri for the honors. I have no idea which state is getting the dishonor now, but ...

Pennsylvania has gotten better in the last ten years as fracking money has flowed in. What drives me nuts is the "oil and chips" method they use to refinish secondary roads. That stuff is treacherous on motorcycles until it gets packed down which can take weeks on roads with light traffic. And even at its best it's never as good as asphalt or concrete.

"Tar snakes" are fun too, particular when it's hot or the road is wet.

So Steve, have you ridden in New Mexico in the past year or so?

If not, swing our way when you have time. We have something to offer that makes PA look pretty good....

I run AUTO, always, never mess with min or max settings. I vary between Dynamic and Road, depending upon road conditions, pillion (wife), etc. Obviously run Dynamic in the canyons, may switch to Road on interstates.
