Rear end feels 'floaty'

[darrsi]

TYRES! Tyres first. Check. Which tyre you're using at the rear? Model and year of production?

Make sure you mount a decend, grippy sport (or sport-touring) model, under 5 years of age, at 2.2 bars cold. Give it a try. If it's still floating, then change/rebuild the shock.


P.S. Oh, the rebound damping on the OEM shock is good for about half the preload. If you make it firmer, it gets bouncier than it should. That's the case on mine and 2 mates fazers at least. Or the shocks are past their best.

2.2 bar is 32psi, that's way off for the rear and would actually add to a floaty feeling???
