New fzs600 rider who is heavy

[sinto607276]

The FZS600 has a recommended top weight limit, with everything included (top box, passengers, etc) of 29.4 stone (187kg), so the bike is more than capable, but the rear shocks are notorious for pegging out around the 20,000 mile mark.

To use your term darrsi,
How do you know it's 'pegging out'?

I get different feelings from rear while on my own and while my boy is on pillion, obviously I understand it's more weight etc

But I must have it set properly while he's on the bike as it seams more 'planted' while it's just me, seams to move out a wee bit while cornering
