Anyone any good at adjusting suspension?
I have a 2010 Triumph Tiger I bought new in March that needs to be adjusted.  It's set from the factory for a 180# rider.  I'm a bit over that and usually ride 2 up on this bike. 
Willing to trade services for beer, liquor, HAVC, plumbing or electrical work or anything else you can think of.  I'm a Master HVACR tech and run a commercial HVAC company in Baltimore.  Can also help out w/ any Hilton Brand hotel rooms because the better have runs Hilton in Baltimore but can get deals anywhere.  Rather trade w/ a member here then pay Triumph to do it. 
Looking at the owners manual it doesn't seem terribly difficult but I've never tried adjusting suspension before so I'd prefer to get help from someone w/ a clue.
Thanks

well, Lars and Ben have both spoken highly of MRP FWIW...

Yep.  Kenny will do a bang up job on the bike for only $50.  There are several of us on here that can get you in the ball park, but Kenny knows his stuff!

+1.  Just came back from MRP.

It all depends on what's happening (or not happening) of course...

If you mean the back ends up too low (which can make the bike harder to turn and at worst bottom out over bumps) then you can try upping the preload but if by "a bit" heavier you mean a lot :) then most likely you'll need a stiffer spring. If you're not that much heavier then the spring should be OK.
Or is it "bouncing" in a way you don't like?

+3 on Kenny at MRP. Not far it all if you're in Baltimore. He can install a new spring or just set the baseline if your spring is OK. He's a suspension tuner so this is his forte.

Thanks for the input.  $50 is a lot cheaper then I expected so that's probably what I'll do.
I'm not bottoming out at all I just think I'm sitting lower then I should when 2 up and everything compresses more then it should. According to the manual it should be able to be adjusted to the higher load w/ the stock equipment.
Thanks again
Mike
