change spring or remove straight link

I have a revalved shock with 08 busa spring. The bike is way too stiff now. sag is set correctly, but I can't get the bike to squat enough. There is only 2 threads from fully loose on the spring as is. Should I change the spring or go back with the factory knuckle? Which spring? I have access to gen 1 busa spring or stock 14 springs.

factory knuckle works way better. also make sure your chain has a correct amount of slack. too tight it will not allow the spring/shock to work, the chassis binds up too much.

b.w.
zx14, little longer, little louder, little lower.
08 Busa, just a little longer and louder and lower than the 14
