Sagging rear (the bike!) - SV650.org

Hi There

Bike is a 2004 SV650S.

I have noticed that the rear of the bike is slowly sagging. It is a lot lower than it was, what worries me is that the bike only has 19 000 miles on. Should I be replacing the rear shock already?

I weigh anout 210 pounds with all the gear on and ride everyday. If I do have to replace cause I am a fat *******, should I go for another shock? Suggestions?

Thanks

I'm a fatter b**tard and my rear hasn't done that but I have only done 15000 miles or there abouts. A few people put GSXR shocks on and I am planning to do the same at some point.
