Oh and btw, I can move the swing arm up and down fairly easily...I had the bolt loose so I torqued it down and did it again and it gained a bit of drag to it ...not much but some ....
....
I also took the spring off again and actuated the shock by hand a few times
it does not move very fast at all no matter how much I push or pull on it in either direction....(and I have the adjustment screw all the way to the fast side) I expect that to change however with time and some miles on it that shock hasn't really been used it rides too hard to actuate the shock LOL...... so for a brand new shock i guess it's working great....
it's just that the spring is about 3 times too stiff for the bike ! at least that is my take on the situation ! LOL

I bet some pencil pusher edited the program and put the wrong spring in there .... because surely they wouldn't sell their best bike with too stiff of a rear spring in there on purpose !!! lol....
we'll see what happens
