I remember you saying that. Are you saying that they sent you a shock smaller than the stock shock? What is the length? I believe I posted my new shock specs for you. I have only set the SAG and the shock body red damping adjuster. No, I have haphazardly done the adjusting. Everyone of the adjustments was done to get a more plush ride. The SAG was set at 33MM (from memory). The damping was set something like 6 clicks counter clockwise from the middle. Remember, my summertime weight is only abut 170 LBS. I guess on this trip I had another 40 pounds or so in camping gear.I'm glad you had a good ride. I will probably send mine back to have it redone because it's too short. Do you know what settings you used?
You bought that through Peter. right? If so, have him "through some weight behind you". Having met him in person, I was impressed on a lot of levels, including his lifting the rear of the bike off the ground with one hand.
Still waiting for mine, the 8975 model. I hope I don't have to deal with this issue. I found a shop that will do the install and put race tech emulators in the front forks. I can't wait to get it done. Also will order a MRA screen attachment and hope this improves the wind/turbulence issues that I am currently dealing with. Just on a quest for the perfect ride!!!!
