newb with the same old suspension ?

[minikeith]

i've had my 99 katana 600 for about 6 months now. the rear suspension is very soft... bottoms out frequently. i'm 6'2" and weigh 185. i have read several of the other threads on his topic and everyone says to talk to tmod... being new i can't yet send pm's so if anyone has some recommendations or tips on how to correct the issue please let me know. or is it just time to replace?
btw, previous owner had the preload cranked right up

thanks

I'd toss it all in the trash and completely start over

Go postwhore for a minute or two and send T a pm, only takes 5 posts I think...

My recommendation would be a B12 shock internally shortened in the rear and some decent fork springs and fluid up front. You can go with emulators as well if you have the extra money.

I'll have a b12 shock spare in a few weeks. Let me know if your interested. I can send it to Tmod to get worked on if you want to go that rout or I can just send it to you.

Do what ever Tmod says. You can't get a better suspension solution for the money.
