I've ridden 150 miles with the 05' GSXR rear shock installed. The rear end of the bike definitely feels stiff. There is zero preload on the spring, so I can't back that off.
With the OEM shock, I could hit speed bumps at 50mph and the bike would soak it right up and I wouldn't be jostled from the seat.
With the 05' GSXR shock -- it I hit the same speed bumps at 50mph, I get my ass kicked up and forward out of the seat. Seems like the spring is pretty stiff. Playing with the compression/rebound dampening doesn't seem to affect this.
I also raised the front forks 24mm in the clamps, which may be a factor. Might have to split the difference and try 13mm of fork above the top clamp.
