Is the rear shock adjustable on 2015 F3S?

[robhowen]

I've searched the forum and other sources and I can't find an absolute answer to this. We have the standard factory shocks on our machine. It seems to me that the rear tire is bouncing too much, suggesting that I need to adjust the shock; but I can't find out how. Help appreciated.

Curious. ....

What air pressure are you running in the rear tire... start there cause over 30lbs will tend to do this if ryding solo. As to shock adjustment there is none but they do offer a different shock . A bit of a shortcoming on the F3....:thumbup:

Thanks for your reply

Thanks for your reply, and disappointing that there is no adjustment. As to air pressure, we run the suggested 28 lbs.

Just did some further checking and they do not offer a different spring which could of helped. I know BajaRon has developed adjuster for the front shocks for those with non adjustable shocks but don't know if he will or has them for the rear....:banghead:

What about less than 28 lbs?

Jacque rides her F3 as a solo rider. What do you think of reducing the rear tire air pressure a bit as she's always a solo rider? Perhaps 24-26 lbs?

Check manual or swingarm for tire pressure range and go to the lower setting and try that. Watch tire wear if center is wearing faster pressure may be too much if edges seem to wear faster too low but your fine in recommend range...
