Sorry to ask but...rear shock?

[yorkie_chris]

Which GSXR shock. Spring rates have varied a lot!

I have checked and cheaked again, others who have riden it say its fine althought they're all about 14st.... it just doesnt want move much and every bump is felt painfuly through the seat.

But you have preload on min? What is your sag? If it is bottoming out then it will feel harsh too.

Right on min .... sag there is only a tiny bit.
Shull crank it up a notch to see if that could make a difference. But still the fact every bump just makes it feel like the shock dont want to move.

Try rock the back tyre just off the deck and see how much then.

Has it been lowered or any other such mods?

Shull give this all a try when im next out in the garage.

None what so ever.

Thought of that but the head of the bolt rubs instead. Maybe I could space the dog bones on that side out with washers. Only need another 1mm.

I'd probably grind the bolt head or free end. If it's one of the shocks with the damping adjuster at an angle though you have to have it facing left or you can't adjust it without a small screwdriver and a cold engine!

If you grind bolt then don't let it get too hot.

Considered that. Was worried that the heat might affect the strength of the nut but if I do it in stages shouldn't be a problem...

Yeah, grind a bit, let it cool. Better to do the head of the bolt than the nut though IMO.
