Shock question
Ok I have put a different shock on my bike and now its, uhh, behaving completely different so I need some advice.
Pre-upgrade, the rear was really hard to push down, nasty-rough on square edged bumps, but I could pillion no worries with only a little sag - not enough sag to upset the bike.
So now I have a 90's suzuki shock, and it was VERY soft right away, so I wound the spring preload right up, and pumped the external gas cylinder up to 180psi, and now its slightly too firm - I'll tickle the gas pressure down slowly.
Question: Even though its a little firm with just me on it, if I carry a pillion, the damn thing drags its arse around on the ground. Tyre hits under the seat, stand hits on the ground, so it's completely unrideable like that. How do I resolve this?
many thanks,
Steve

"Wow, Great advise there DB."
