Mine is the same way. I have never ridden the bike since doing the shock swap, other than putting around the house. But I can tell the rear is super stiff. I weigh 180 and barely get any movement. No binding, though I did buy dog bones to raise the rear .5 inch over stock. After reading this thread makes me think my lower links are too short, stiffening the spring leverage.
Shock is from a 2006 gsxr600/750.
It's a project bike that got pushed to the side for a few years.
