my rear shock appears to be on its hardest setting but its not solid.

I get the impression the pre load  was at this setting when you bought the bike. Am I correct Paul. 
If so,  there's no point speculating on knackered shocks, hard downshifts and braking untill you return the pre load back to the default setting and take it for a ride.  Just my opinion, again

Well, I'm thinking if the shock is ok, and you return it to factory settings, you're still gonna lock the back wheel shifting down near the redline, even without hard braking on the rear.
