[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1456988, member: 118"] Yeah, not ideal, but....... It's actually not preload. The Yamaha FJR shock is an interesting design. The shock has two springs. So when you go from soft to hard you are actually changing the spring rate, not adding preload. I've had many FJRs over the years. The stock suspension has gotten better with every generation. Still, on every non-ES FJR I've owned I've always installed aftermarket suspension of some sort. Not cheap, but makes a world of difference. [/QUOTE]
