First off, you need to fix you caps lock key it must be broken dude!
On the top of you shock is a stepped cam, turn it clockwise to increase preload the other way to decrease.
If you don't have the c spanner you can use two screwdrivers one on each side

as above ... but with out the screw drivers ;)

Put some more air in the tyres - a copule of psi in the front and about 4 in the rear.

Take it steady, don't try an be a racer because the bike will feel very different with a pillion ... remember brake early and don't slam them on, be progressive.
