416 Progressive Suspension air pressure
Hi user of 416 progressive rear shock. What's the ideal air pressure i must put on those shocks for better comfort ride. I installed those shocks this last week-end and i have the impression that it's was more comfortable with the oem shocks.(excuse my english is not very good) thank you

The progressive 416 shocks are definitely stiffer and more firm than OEM, particularly considering the OEM's are 20-30 years old now.GoldPower wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2019 4:56 pm Hi user of 416 progressive rear shock.

I typically keep mine at around 10-15 psi if I'm riding alone.
