tiger tail?

Anybody got one? Got a nice hole on my under tail, not too clear in the pic but some plugs and cables are showing.

I could be Wrong, but isn't that hole already in the tail?
You havent rubbed it enough to cause damage, why don't you raise the rear up a little bit?

Also you can tighten the spring on the rear shock up, and tighten the screws on the rear shock

if you have an old motorcycle license plate, you can also bolt it up under there to project your ecu until you get a tiger tail

What does the amount of tire have to do with you making the shock stiffer and stopping it from bottoming out?

Ok...... That's about like saying that a swb bike will eat the tire faster than a stretched bike. When you stretch it, the suspension has to work harder because of the leverage. You stiffen it to compensate for the swingarm.
Btw, please don't say something like that again.."don't adjust suspension because of tire wear".

I didnt mean it like that, but yeah obviously i need a better setup. I have 2 1/2 turns on the screws, so maybe 2 turns on the spring and 3 on the screws?

The stock spring isn't stiff enough. With replacing the spring and revalving the shock your networking with much. Just try and make chicken salad out of chicken shit.
