That's what I thought to begin with but the opposite is true. It is far better behaved with less preload - I think this is due to the fact that it sags more creating a less aggressive geometry and a more equal weight distribution. Two up with luggage it was spot on (with the preload adjusted of course) which suggest there's not enough weight at the back when solo. I've heard so many people having a 25mm lift or even more like noggythenog with no problems.
I'm only 11ish stone geared up so I think it might be a lack of weight causing a problem. I've stiffened up the front a bit already to compensate and that hasn't helped much. Has stiffer springs in there too. I think the only solution is to drop the rear ride height a bit again. Shame as it handles a lot nicer than standard under 80ish or when two up. Maybe I should just more pies :b
Quite an interesting video (although rather old) about wobble and weave presented by none other than Murray Walker. Starts from about 4mins10secs.
