So m buddy calls me up and tells me that his tire is hitting his under tail with him and his girl on it. They never had that problem befor. So i put the bike on my lift and put them both and the bottom of the swing arm shock mount is only about 2.5in from the ground that seems way to low to me. I measured the shock length its good. the bike is not really bouncy like the shocks blown but it does make a sucking sound when i had him bounce the bike, no signs of oil leaking.

Im also looking for the compression and rebound setings, and whats the weight limit.

any help would be great.

Compression and rebound won't really help this much.

Has anyone checked the preload?

For two up riding just go ahead and max it out.
