Hey just a quick question on the rear suspension does setting 1 mean it will depress the most when I get on or is that setting 7?
If you were going to take a pillion what setting would you set it to?

Yes 1 is lowest.
Depending on weight Stock shock set to 7 for pillion will be best
I am not interested in anything you have to say
Don't bother talking to me, I will not answer you

As mentioned earlier 1 is softest and 7 has the most preload.  The factory setting is 4, but I find 5 most comfortable for solo riding and I'm about 160 lb; with a pillion you probably want 6-7.

It's currently set to 1 so I might change it up to 4 for me on my own see what the difference is. I weight 69kg
