Hi all.
I have a Tracer with a topbox and sidecases. In a month I'll be driving a longer trip with the panniers fully loaded and with a passenger. So far I've tightended the front suspension preload and rebound a bit, and adjusted the rebound on the rear shock. The settings are nice enough now, but I doubt it will be good when the bike is fully loaded.
My question is:
How is the front suspension affected if I maximize the rebound and preload on the rear shock?
I might be completely wrong, but I'm thinking if the bike has a lot of weight at the rear the front suspension shouldn't be set too hard. Because that would leave almost no weight at the front?
You probably understand that I'm way out of my leage here
