Finally got round to playing with the rear shock preload.
Wow, what a difference. Got it with 5 threads showing, I weigh 215lbs. The front and rear of the bike feel so much more in sync now.

Just thought I'd let y'all know. :-D

how many threads are showing standard? Did you alter the front at all? I weight more than you and left it with 6 threads showing, didn't touch the front. I did this because the squids touched the hugger once, been fine since. Might go a bit further with what you are saying.

Can't say on the rear, but stock on the front is three lines showing.
