Tried softening up front and rear stock shocks to the max. Problem is that when I hit base of hill my swingarm bottoms out. I'm a fairly big guy 6'4 210. When I bottom out my swingarm bounces off the base of the hill and I loose tire grip. I have been having to hit the hills softer at the base which I don't like too well because as we all know trying to keep the r's up about halfway up the hill ain't always fun. Don't know if I should keep the front soft and stiffen the back up or what. Don't want to spend money on aftermarket shocks. Just want to tweek the stock ones. Thanx

firm up the rear end a little.
