What air ride settings on the 2007 Venture?

[shmily]

I recently purchased an 07 Midnight Venture. I leave in a few days on a four-day ride with the boys to Rolling Thunder in DC for Memorial Day weekend. The manual give a range of ride pressures for the rear shock and front forks. My question: can anyone recommend a good start point for the "right" pressures for comfort on a long tirp with a single rider? I'll have a gym bag in the trunk and my own body weight (180) on the bike. No passenger.

Im at 250, I rode at 27 pounds & 3 on the front shocks

I used 45 in the shock and 3-4 up front.

So my pressure guage that with the bike is metric. Is 3-4 a setting or actual messure of pressure?

[dacheedah]

that's psi

 

what unit of measure is your gauge using??

 

The European manual shows

Spring preload (air pressure):

 

Minimum/Standard: 0 kPa (0 kg/cm2{squared}, 0 bar)

 

Maximum: 50 kPa (0.5 kg/cm2 {squared}, 0.5 bar)

Hope that helps
