I have a 1989 750, front end stock rear shock 1991 1100 M. I went for a blast today and the rear is too hard, seems to feel like it is flailing about at the back. Bearings are ok, tires and pressures all ok.
What can I do to keep the solid feeling but lose the wiggle?
Thanks http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not too cold, doesn't make any difference if summer or winter? Why?

Shocks can get harder when cold because the oil gets thicker

Yeah, good point. I don't think it's that, I reckon it's my swingarm bushes are worn, cheers though

Definately so. I have had many rides this winter, and on many occasions the bike feels a lot stiffer in the beginning of the ride when the oil in the forks/shock is cold.
