Modern Vespa

After 5 weeks with the new scoot I decided to adjust the 2 rear shocks on the 2018 GTS 300. It came with the factory setting at the softest but would bottom or top out going on & off curbs. I'm at 245lbs.
I moved each just one notch and immediately felt an improvement. Curbs are softer now.
Is there a guide to let me know where the adjuster should be. I know the opposite extreme is for pillions.

thanks in advance, Ralph

I bumped my Liberty shock up to 4 out of 5 for two-up riding and it really did smooth out the ride.

Whatever works is fine. Depends on your weight, your riding style, the roads you're on.

There is no wrong answer.

If I were you I would be very careful about riding on and off curbs. You are storing-up potential problems for the future with possible damage to wheel and steering bearings.

That's good advice Touring300. Thanks. Lucky for me the curb I'm referring to is at the end of the driveway. It rises 5 mm = 2"off the street. I always roll over it at an angle to lessen the load on my shock.
Recently we rode over rail road tracks and I scanned for an level and even section. I find going perpendicular to the rail is comfortable.

So far, riding 120 miles at shock detent #2 is a definite improvement for me. I'm tempted to click it another notch to #3. Any advice considering there is an additional 250 lbs / 114 kg of sprung weight.
