How do i adjust rear suspension to make ride softer it is still on factory setting

You Raise the Center of the Bike, so the Rear Wheel is OFF the ground and then there is a Collar that screws up and down on the Spring/Shock. Increase length softer Ride, Shorten Length for a Firmer Ride.

Hero honda - splendor plus suspension problem

Your front spring rate and fluid is most likely set for city riding. For softer sealed roads.
From what I can search, it looks like it is 10W oil. Maybe go up to 15W fork oil and see if that stiffens it up enough. Don't go for the highest rating,as you'll just cause damage and possibly injure yourself in the process. Always do it incrementally.

Hi I find my 4.8S porsche cayenne suspension is too hard and not comfortable for city driving, can you advise is there an option to change to more comfortable (softer maybe) suspensions?

Oh sure, you can get "softer" shocks. This will make the ride smoother. They make shocks for all different kinds of driving conditions and ride preferances. The best way to determine which shocks you need is to go into a parts dealer and just ask for help find softer shocks for your vehicle. Hope this helps.

How to adjust suspension stiffness ride is fairly

Pull off the plastic left side cover below the seat - go easy so you don't damage the tabs.
Remove the tool box cover.
Remove the tool box tray (2 bolts).
Use the tool provided in your OEM tool kit, and use the flattened tubular extension for more leverage.
Use gloves to save your knuckles.
Higher # stiffer - lower # softer.
A lot easier if you have a jack to get the weight off the rear wheel.

How do I soften up the front suspension other than changing the fork oil from 10 weight to 5 weight. the bike rides too rough and I"m about 160lbs. thanks

Try draining a very small amount of oil from each fork leg, there should be a small screw at the bottom of each fork leg for draining oil. See if you can let out the same amount of oil from each leg, i would start with about 30ml from each one. Make sure the front wheel is jacked up off the ground, so the oil wont come out under to much pressure.
Apart from that, yes change the oil, but put less in, that will make it softer, its not so much the oil weight, but more so how much oil you put in, less for a softer ride.

Fort Adjustment

Hi there,
Check the top of one of the forks, there may be a knob type dial that you can turn clock-wise or anti-clock-wise, turning it one way will give you a stiffer ride, turning it the other will give you a softer ride. Some forks don't have this pre-load adjustment however.
Cheers.

Tax disc where to fit/rear suspension pressure setting, 1 & 2 up

I cant help with tax disc, but I can help with the setting of the suspension. The ideal setting for the suspension is to set it so the front and back drop together. If the back is too stiff and the suspension compresses in a corner the front is more prone to breaking loose causing the worst kind of slide . If the front is too hard and the suspension drops in a corner the rear end is more prone to breaking loose. This is not as bad losing grip on the front end, but if word gets out nobody will ride with you as a passenger ever again. Set both front and rear shocks near maximum pressure. Now sitting on the bike with it loaded the way you intend to ride bounce on the seat causing the suspension to drop. Now bleed air out of the front or rear shocks until both the front end and back end of the bike drop together. This is your stiffest safe ride setting. If you start with no pressure in the system and add air until the bike drops with front and back in unison, this will be your softest safe riding setting. Riding single or double requires two different settings. This is how racers set up sport bikes for extreme riding.On a Goldwing you will only need the correct settings for extreme emergency conditions , but of course that is when it has to be predictable and it has to be right. Setting it up correctly will also make cornering through the hills much more enjoyable.

My 1989 Chevy Corvette,( 350 automatic ) the

More than likely the heater valve is stuck open. You can usually purchase them from the local parts house. As far as the ride most of these cars ride this way. You can update the suspension with newer designs and shocks to allow a softer ride and can even get suspension that is adjustable allowing you to set the ride and performance yourself to your liking. Air suspension is probably also available to allow maximum soft ride.
