Rear Suspension

Hi all,

Have had my XT660Z for a few months now and have been thoroughly enjoying taking it on trails and trying it out. I have found it to be a little soft at the back but the front has had the cartridge emulators fitted and that feels fine. On Boxing Day I went for a ride with a mate and hit an erosion channel quite hard, as it turns out I smashed the rear number plate and indicator structure doing so.

I've decided to look at the preload and found that it was on the lowest setting #1. I'm 115 kgs (250 lbs). I've taken it all the way to #7 leaving #8 and #9 to go.

I'm going to try it tomorrow but wondered whether anyone had any suggestions??

I was contemplating an Ohlins shocker in the rear but have also been told that all they need is a bit of a rebuild??

cheers
