I've been getting some slightly unnerving weaving from the rear of the bike once I get over about 60mph, I thought it could have been wheel badly balanced perhaps but I then noticed the preload on the rear shock was at about half way so I wound it fully up and things have improved. Is this normal? is there any thing to check over the winter or a mod / new shock?
Cheers Andy

I check tyre pressure at the same time and yes the rear was down about 4psi and the front down 2psi so the extra air will not have done any harm.
I plan to strip and grease the rear suspension linkages at the end of the year so I check then for any wear.
