Cahnged the shock this morning...

...and it feels like a new bike! :smt003 :smt003

Took about an hour, most of that time was for messing around propping the bike up really.
Having only had the bike a week, I hadn't really ridden it much, but it definitely had an arse-down feeling to it.
The orignal shock had bitten the dust, there was oil everywhere so it was obvioudly blown.
It now feels a lot more balanced over the front, I made a 6 mile journey home from my brothers into a 25 mile blast - but was only wearing jeans & leather jacket.
If the sky clears, I'm getting properly kitted up for a decent blast, seeing as the g/f is away this weekend anyway! :smt002

After a couple more changes you'll have it down to just a few minutes! :smt003 :smt003

Glad you've got the improvement you were looking for
