im thinking about changing the rear shock and put something else in, any ideas what would work?
i have a vbike 250-v4s and i want something that will lower the rear end just a little because i think it sits a little high and i want it to be soft because right now mines pretty stiff. i like the front suspension on it, its pretty soft and it does great.

 

I don't know what other shock would work but the one you have now is adjustable. The shock has a couple of large nuts at the top, one is a lock nut and the other is the adjuster nut. A spanner wrench is the correct tool to use but most of us don't have one. I did the backyard mechanic way of adjusting it. I took a large flat bladed screwdriver and a hammer and tapped the upper lock nut loose. Then I turned the adjuster nut counterclockwise, as you stare at it from above, and released abunch of tension from the shock spring. This softened the shock up quite a bit.

 

thanks for replying. i will look at it in a couple hours and mess around with it.
im gonna have to check all the bolts and things like that since me and a buddy are gonna go mud bogging and the day after go to an offroad park.
