I was about to ride my pregen on the track a few weeks ago and I took it too the suspension guy who told me "there is nothing there" the rebound was off and the shock was not responding properly due to "incorrect geometry" (r6 rear shock) He said I would be better off using the stock shock, which I don't even have. My solution... sold it and got a newgen. Makes sense that the bike is designed for a particular shock and drilling/changing dog bones and putting a shock designed for a different chassis and bike all together alters the geometry of the bike and when that is off, the suspension won't work properly. All tho this work was done by a "pro"... It makes sense to me and he has been doing suspension for 20+ years so I take it he knew what he was talking about...
