In a seat suspension system, a method for adjusting the gain applied to a control signal to accommodate for large variations in rider weight and input severity and thereby provide rider comfort over a wider range of conditions than is possible with fixed gains or tunings. The method of the present invention is adaptable to changes in system operating conditions.

1. In a seat suspension system having a means for sensing the relative seat position of the seat and means for controlling the movement of the seat, a method for controlling the movement of the seat, the method comprising the steps of: (a) obtaining a leveled seat height; (b) obtaining a relative seat position from the sensing means; (c) determining the difference between the leveled seat height and the relative seat position; (d) calculating a position power value based on the difference calculated in step (c); (e) determining the relative seat velocity; (f) multiplying the position power value with a gain factor; and (g) multiplying the value of step (f) with the relative seat velocity to obtain a control signal.
