I properly adjusted the spring preload for the Chinese shock absorber, and it was still punishing. Even if the spring is the problem, no aftermarket shock springs are available. Sadly, Chinese motorcycles are not noted for their excellent suspensions.

Therefore, I strongly recommend you purchase the aftermarket, Progressive shock absorber sold by CSC. Along with an increased suspension travel, the Progressive shock outperforms the Chinese shock on all surfaces, both paved, and unpaved.
