Id like to raise the ass end a bit if possible so i was looking and the bracket on the bottom of the frame there is another set of holes. Looks like to me you could move the shock to them holes which are farther rear and it would bump the ass up a bit? Plus the shock has a screw and it is lined up with #3 so i assume that is what it is set on? Now with me at 240 what should i be setting this at? And what are you guys using to adjust it hopefully not taking anything apart since it is in a tight spot?

you dont actually want to move where the shock is mounted but the pivot point where the dogbones connect to. if you could post a pic of your setup you can get some better answers. your dogbones connect to the pivot point below the shock and to the frame. your frame end should only have one hole and the end closest to the bottom of the shock should have 3 for aftermarket dogbones.

the hole is back a notch and looks to be up so it should raise the bike a hair?
there to me looks like a screw at the #3 spot

get out your spanner wrench and adjust a little. All the way to left will be stiff but taller. Decrease and will be shorter and softer.

Yeah man , i'm 180 lbs and my setting is at 5.. I'm also wondering what the right setting according to the weight is??? It says the tire pressure on the swing arm sticker or manual according to weight but not for the spring..
