After I performed my XT225 swingarm conversion, I noticed the XT225 shock absorber was too soft. Doing some research on the XTT225 forum, I discovered this was a common complaint for many larger riders. The solution was to order a stiffer shock spring from Cogent Dynamics.

I ordered the Cogent Dynamics spring, and installed it on my shock absorber. After installing the stiffer shock spring, I adjusted the shock preload as described in this thread. However, I did not post a thread on this topic.

You rode my Zongshen Sierra with that shock absorber over 500 miles to the Bonneville Salt Flats two years ago; what do you think?
