    Hi, I`m looking for a guide to understand the suspension adjustments on the Uly, I ride on highways and bumpy roads (in these ones it feels the suspension is not designed to take bumps)
    Does somebody point me to a specific guide for the Uly
    Thanks

    You mean something more than the charts in the Owner's manuals?

    Or if you don't have one, here's a link.....at the bottom of the page: "Operation"

    Hi aerodss. I have the same problem. I have been riding around with a screw driver and making small adjustments every so often. The factory settings actually bottoms out my front susspention on dirt road. What i found was:

    1) increase front pre load to 1 line showing
    2) the rear pre load all off maybe 2 clicks

    Then ride adjust ride adjust. use the same road at the same speed and you will get it better. good luck.
    P.S. i am about 85kg
