2019 Vk 540 suspension

[Norman12]

Purchased a 2019 Vk 540 and I can't seem to get a sensible ride with a passenger on.I was told at the dealership where I bought it that I can purchase a heavy duty cam block kit for it to put a little more tension on the springs, just wondering if anyone has tried this and what difference it made to the machines handling and performance

Worked really well on my 09 multi purpose , greatly increased load carrying ability and with two people could ride the bumps fairly quick without bottoming at all ! Cheers

Have you tried adjusting the rear spring hook? Look at the suspension under the seat. There is a plastic block that you can rotate to stiffen the ride.

I gave up on 2up riding; it just sucks.

Anyone ever try making their own blocks for the Vk, I think 250.00 for 2 Teflon blocks is a bit overpriced if you ask me

Yes I tried that, I adjusted the blocks to the highest setting, but still no difference
