NC 30 Pillion adjustments
Hi guys,
I've got a couple of questions for anyone who has ridden 2-up on the baby viffer:
What setting did you use on your rear suspension?
Did you leave the rear tyre at 36psi the whole time?
Bearing in mind that I'll only be doing it at weekends and not over-extensively.
Thanks.

Re: NC 30 Pillion adjustments
I think most people try to avoid pillion...
As it stands, my lady wife is no skinny wench and I use 36psi and I have an RS250 shock so it does not seem to wallow so much.
Bottom line - you cannot really make the moto handle with a pillion...they are too small and the pillion weight is too much on the arse end of them.
Get your (lady?) friend a CBT

CBT? I wouldn't trust any of my friends even on a CG125!CMSMJ1 wrote:I think most people try to avoid pillion...

I agree that it's not a good pillion bike, but it'll just be for giving friends little rides at the weekend. I'll only be going up and down the A38 for no more than 1 hour journeys, no twisty bits to worry about.
Eventually I'll just have to get a Blackbird to carry work gear anyway.
