Hi,
I ride a '04 KTM 950 Adventure. Up until now I mainly used it for weekend out rides over as rough as I can find terrain. For this I set the suspension to the "Driving Sport" setting as per the owners manual. This has been working great and the bike handles the rough stuff like it should. Recently though I have been using it more regularly to commute between JHB and PTA. The problem I have is that due to the "Quality" work SANRAL is doing I now end up with lower back pain from all the humps and bumps on the highways. I have then tried the "Driving Comfort" setting, which turned out to be an improvement. I have however set it even "softer" now to my own custom setting using the "Driving Comfort" setting as guideline.
My questions are:
1) Is it bad for my suspension to change the setting regularly, "sport" on weekends and back to "comfort" Monday morning, on a weekly basis?
2) Is it bad for my suspension to set it at its "softest", way softer than the owners manual's "Driving Comfort"?
Thank you,
Boer
