Thanks but I already ordered Elka...I’m installing Bajaron sway bar tomorrow !

Few days ago I had it installed at the dealership. They set it to the 2nd lowest preload setting telling me it is the default setting according to the service manual... We haven't ridden 2-up yet, but based on your comment, I'd say it won't be enough for our combined weight 330lbs...
With the standard spring we managed to scratch the rear fender on some pothole.

I put a rubber spacer in spring till my Elka rear shock comes in...
Bajaron sway bar really helped with handling !

I am working on a spring spacer for the Rear Ryker Shock for 2 up. So far, the feedback on the prototype has been very good.

I wish I could have found more info about setup options for riding 2up when we I bought our Ryker last year. We promptly bought and installed the 2up spring and found it underwhelming! Not to mention how difficult it was for me to find a spanner to adjust it! Oh well, we have an Elka on order now.

I’m also having issues riding 2-up. I set the original spring to 5 as per BRP instructions and it still bottomed out so I purchased the 2 Up spring and reset this to 5 and although the ride seems a little stiffer, I’m still bottoming out on the rear fender, which is now damaged. BRP allocated a case to fix the fender but the dealer refused to contact them to claim the case.
So now I’m left with a damaged rear fender, a 2 up spring that doesn’t do the job its purchased for and £200 out of pocket for the purchase and fitting of the same.
We only weigh 155kg and the stock weight is supposed to be 203kg so I still think there is something wrong with the suspension on the 900.
I bought this specifically for 2 up riding with luggage (bought the maxmount and seat to have it fitted from new) and the dealer told me it would be perfect for what I wanted.
What have people done to stop the rear of the seat bottoming out on the fender? Please let me know!!
