Gonna have to upgrade soon.  Anyone try the Progressive 465 Series?  How about the Rear Shock Pre-Load Improvement Kit from Scootworks?

You will need a tool to make the adjustment. You may find that it is adjusted all the way already. For what ever reason the stock shocks on these don't last.

Progressive make a great uni-shock for these but they are expensive, actually the stock shock from Kawi is up there too. If you are planing on keeping the bike I would go with the Progressive. Its about 75 to 100 more.

Good Luck

Both... check SUSPENSION in the mods/tips section of the web site. There is a tip telling you how to adjust the monoshock. There are also aftermarket monoshocks for the 800... they are expensive.

Picked up a 800 this spring and I am starting to get comfortable with her.  Now my wife is itching for me to take her for a spin.  I am a bigger guy coming in at around 260lbs and the wife is close to 200lbs.   Can anything be done to adjust the preload or upgrade the rear shock on an 800?
