Ah, I found the post from another forum regarding the 2009 suspension..

"First, the rear shocks are a WHOLE new animal. They are MUCH stronger. On all my other bikes, I would run 1/2 - 2/3 of full capacity of air, just when riding solo. Two Up I had them maxed out, and they will still be sagging and bottoming and have me wishing I could add more air. (Im 210 and the wife is 140)

The new shocks, I am running 5-10 lbs solo, and 25-30 two up, which leaves a full 20 lbs more air that can be added if needed! They are no longer maxed out at the limit all the time. Also note that now the 12" low profile AND the 13" standard shocks BOTH max out at 50 lbs, whereas before, the 13" shocks topped out at 33 lbs. They are MUCH more beefy shocks, and no longer have you running air at the upper limit all the time to get a decent ride. "
