I just left a message on the ST section and have now come across this, which sounds like someone here maybe able to advise. I ride an ST4, after a while with a pillion it seemed to me that more pre-load was needed so I turned the big nut a couple of clicks, then we went off to IOM TT where the roads are fairly crap but even at very low speeds we bottomed out. Rushjob on the last page has suggested changing the rear suspension to an Ohlins as fitted on the ST4S, do you have any experience of this, should I be able (or maybe an expert be able) to adjust the stock suspension so that I can tour two up with luggage at one setting then re-adjust for normal riding.
