Hi today i got the missus to sit on the bike while I double checked the chain tension it seems just right as i can just get the chain to touch the swing arm under very firm pressure. While she was on the back i got on the bike as well and was amazed to find that it did not make any noticeable difference to the hieght of the bike, I was expecting that with me 220 lb, plus missus 180 lb that i would be able to get my feet flat on the floor Nope!! The rear shock is set on standard (one up from the softest) I thought the tenere was supposed to be softly sprung? both the front fork and rear springs seem very firm to me. Is your tenere like this?
