Thanks guys.
Dunedemon,
I have a 7.6 Eibach (I think...might even be an 8.2) WB was out of the rate I really needed according to the tech guys so I went to this one. I loved the way the bike took the bumps with the stock spring but of course the bottoming out has to go. I dropped my shock off at Yamaha last night to have it recharged.
Question: Does the shock offer any support when fully charged? With gas shocks on a car, it is only enough to extend the shock when it has been compressed. I guess I was hoping that my shock was low on a charge and re-charging it might help out my stock spring rate????? Wishfull thinking?
I was thinking about making a 1 or 2 inch spacer to give myself more pre-load. Is that not going to help me? I understand how springs work and I know that unless it is a progressive rate spring, the rate should be the same at 1 inch as it is with 4 inches. I would just think at some point, more pre-load would have to increase rate a bit? Again, Am I hoping for too much ????
BTW, I weight 180 and ride only the dunes.
Thanks to all again.
