‘The rear shock lacks feel’

The symptoms The rear end just lacks feel and comfort.

Dr Know prescribes The standard suspension unit fitted to the back of the ER-6 is quite basic. You can transform the ride quality and performance with an aftermarket shock. A quality replacement would have a spring that would be tailored to suit Sam’s weight and the type of riding he does. And the damping rates would be completely adjustable with a range of settings. Nitron or Maxton offer good entry-level replacements for about £450 new. Alternatively, you might be able to pick up a used shock.
