[QUOTE="MajBach, post: 1445163, member: 27289"] These are the settings direct from invoice from GP suspension. I've never messed with them. On the last rides last year, I noticed the bike really didn't seem to want to stay leaned in a turn, was harder to enter a turn but mostly did not track while in a turn. Also seemed a little bouncy while turning, Like if I hit a small bump, it would take a few hops to settle. Just felt overall spongy. Plus, the guy who just serviced the shock said the spring that was in there (Hyperco 1000) was for a 230 pound rider. That doesn't include baggage. With my gear and stuff, I am easily 350 lbs. He said it wasn't a deal big deal but considering the small cost and the fact the shock is out of the bike, may be smart to get a stiffer spring. Like you, he also stated that lifting the rear via the clevis would make the bike want to turn in more and can lead to instability. Its mostly used for aggressive track riding.
