Chain

[richard kersten]

Can you add another link to the stalk chain to put the rear tire back further , everytime I compress the suspension when riding I hear the tire touch the mud guard.

Yes

Yes. If I decide to change to a larger sprocket, I may add a length of spare chain (I had cut off initially).

Pulling the wheel back will alter the steering dynamics of your bike. It will be slightly more stable yet slower turning (ie less flickable). Your real problem is that the rear shock is not up to your weight , riding style or both. I think you might need to go for a firmer rear shock spring.

In the first instance just crank up your preload a tad and see how that goes. It really does seem that your need a heavier spring however. Just make sure it is not hitting the exhaust pipe/muffler. If that is whats really happening just bent the pipe bracket out a tad-that happened on my old 450

I never adjusted my sag from factory setting so I did that .

Set your sag at 40mm static and 100mm race with all gear on. If this doesn't help, we probably have a spring in stock for your weight.
