Well last evening me and the wife took the Connie out for the first of many Friday night dates. I spent the night before looking for the air valve to adjust the rear suspension and could not locate it for the life of me. I thought it would be no big deal but after riding 70 miles last night I realized that before the next ride I definitely need to find that little monster. Stupid question? Probably, but trust me I tried looking through the forums and even google but could find no literature at all. So thanks in advance
 
Remove the throttle side side cover and ther'll she be, just look at the rear shock and follow the hose towards you
 
Can't find a picture of the panel off, but when you pull the one 4mm allen screw out, it'll be a schrader valve about where the red box is.

There is also a sliding adjuster (push/pull) to adjust dampening for the rear shock.  out is more aggressive dampening. 

When we are two up, i'm usually around 45psi (50max per kawi) and #3.

Also want to use a low to zero loss pump. A special suspension pump is best.  Even a little air loss when removing the pump or checking with tire gauge will cause a significant change in the pressure.
