I have decided that this bike is a keeper so I went a bit berserk and ordered a custom built shock via Adventure Bike Warehouse. They fitted it and it was a bit more involved because of the size of the resovoir . What a difference. The bike has been returned to its original hight ( previous owner had fitted a shorter spring and had it dropped 30mm in the yokes) The ride is perfect.What a difference. Even dropping it off its centre stand has lost that splat and sag and because the bike is back to normal hight it goes onto the centre stand much easier.
I was less impressed driving home through the rain and at low revs in traffic it began running unevenly and stuttering etc. So NGK plug caps next
