Guessing you cranked the preload to max? I haven't tried riding two up yet but as balanced as it seems with just me I think lots of added preload would be called for two up. I'm really impressed with mine on dirt roads, even deep sand is great. No rear abs and zero or 1 on Traction control. Full TC is awful on any loose surface or hardpack dirt, two bars is alright on hardpack but it kicks in frequently.
TT On Gravel Two Up
Was doing some TT testing on gravel with my wife today. First the rear suspension was WAY too soft. Got bounced around pretty good. Once I was satisfied the rear was stiff enough I thought to try all the TT settings two up. The most TT was really rough and bad. Seems just a tad smoother than single but still uncomfortable at full throttle. The mid setting was nice and smooth. No rough quick stop start like max TT. I really did not feel the rear break loose and acceleration was much quicker than I thought it would be. Min was also good and I did feel the rear break loose a little but not enough for the rear to slide around.
I was very happy with the test and glad I got a better feel for the bike. BTW, we did about 75 miles of all gravel. A perfect and beautiful evening to ride such roads and no bears, deer, but only one bird that tried to penetrate my right chest at 70 mph! That one will leave a mark
