Rear shock 76a
The rear end of my bike is very soft, which is no doubt not helped by the fact im 15 stone and realistically far too big for the bike, but I love it too much! The remote adjustment by the exhaust can is wound all the way in but its still a bit too soft really! Any other ways of stiffening the back end up? I notice the shock is threaded can I wind the spring down to stiffen it? or will that just raise the rear end?
Any help would be great
TIA

Diet!!!
sorry, I used to be 15st, only 10.5 now. I recommend an gastric ulcer for massive weight loss

Or you could just uprate it with a heavier spring. There is a thread going on about this subject and K7 shocks just atm.
