rear shock and spring set up.

Hey guys just got my shock back. And i was told to get a 1100 lb spring. Take in consideration i do weight over 300lbs. What kinda preload do i need. I tried none. The bike seemed faster but realy wasnt. Much easier to launch but no improvement in the 60. Any suggestions.

Did you set the sag within the limits written in the manual???

Of course your going to wheelie when you snap the clutch out at redline, your a big dude!!!

What rear tire do you have???...How much pressure and do you get wheel spin???...How long do you do a burnout for???

Launching at about 5 grand. IM not dumpin the clutch trying to slip some. I have a dunlop 208 with no spin at all. It has never spun. With or without new shock. Just enough to clean and heat the tire. As far as sag goes i have about an inch.

Maybe you should put some teeth back on your sprockets then you can leave harder without wheelies...

Dont know what else can be said without seeing how you run!!!
