There are only early 1250RS's as they aren't even available here in the UK for owners yet.
As has been said, you just choose from the settings available. I speaketh for the 1200RS. I'm 155lbs and the solo rider setting works okay for me and that's only adjustable rear anyway. The front is fixed preload wise. Adjustable damping (2 settings) is more useful for me on the front.
I'm not sure if the Auto setting on the GS (that may be on the new RS) uses a small number of presets or works to a finer level of control. I disabled it when I had a test ride as I didn't want the bike adjusting preload for me 'on the go'.
My suggestion would be ......... Call Ted Porter and order a tractiv suspension that matches whatever sag you want. Sag is a function of spring rate and preload.
Just a thought, but did you consider buying the base model and spending the cash you would save on a bespoke rear shock and some fork cartridges? That way you'll have suspension fine tuned for your body weight and riding style.
Not a viable choice if you want to ride this year...
I never said I had to have a perfectly tuned suspension, I just wanted to know if that was something that I needed to accomplish when I pick up my bike this morning...
