Greetings Everyone, I'm pretty new to riding. I only got my 2009 FZ6R back in July. I've been racking up the miles on it and learning as I go.
One thing that troubles me is that the rear suspension seems very bouncy. If I hit a dip in the road, I get a springy bounce a couple times before the bike settles. If it were a car, I would bet the shocks need replaced.
However, I'm a short fat guy. I'm probably at 300 lbs. I figured the rear shock adjustment needed dialed up. And I did turn it up from 3 to 5. That helped a lot, but I still get that squishy bounce. I might try going up to 6.
I read somewhere - and now I can't find it - that I probably need to replace the rear spring with one appropriate for my weight.
What do you guys think?
