As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲
Please, next video if you could give a zoom in on the exact area where the tool will have to go would be perfect, and keep producing more videos about the R 18

Very helpful thanks. I had written off the suspension thinking it’s terrible, I will adjust it and see if it’s better

Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Big love from the UK!

I first mine to 115, my weight with gear on, but then i went for a ride with my daughter, so set it at 190 kg. I then forgot I'd done it and took it out by myself. The first thing i noticed was a much improved cornering clearance, and although the ride was slightly harsher, it livened up the handling as well. I compromised and st it at 170 kg, which i find gives the best of both worlds, comfort, and handling.

Nice video ❤ very important people take a test drive and say it's so hard 😮because the seller doesn't reset the transport setting!!!! some people buy a new suspension!!

Totally awesome! Rear suspension setting is set too hard from factory.

Great vid, what seat is on the bike ? . I have the same bike looking to get a more comfortable seat for longer rides and as it’s a first edition have issues finding ones that fit

So, counterclockwise all the way is the softest correct?
