Hi all, well from i got my softer rear spring on my stinky the rear arm hits the seat when half compressed. But if i put the seat up the bike feels to big is there any way of solving this problem. I took the advise that kona rab gave me of moving the seat forward and this has helped a little cheers rab:) I was thinking just let it bash off the seat.:confused: Any help appricated thanks Jonathan.

put your old spring back on/ whack up compression dial

Spring to soft and or rebound and compression to slow.. Get someone to set it up for you for you weight...

[Big Dave]

When you say half compressed do you mean the shock is through half its stroke? I mean- is there still half of the shock chrome rod showing?

Thanks guy's. What i mean is the rear swing arm the big silver bit it comes up and hits the bottom of the seat but if you put the seat up say an extra 1 inch it dosent hit but the bike feels to big it dosent really matter i am just going to ride it with the new spring it rides like a differnt bike i got a 250 and it is sweet. Cheers jonny

You could just cut an inch off your seat post.

na, he said it hits his seat.
Johnny, your seat shouldnt be that low.. something like this (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/images/kona%20stinky%2007.jpg)should be alright. What I mean is your tyre shouldnt hit your seat to begin with, regardless of dampning.

My wheel dosen't hit the seat. lol. It's just the rear of the silver swing arm hits if you have the seat to low. It's sorted now. Cheers lads for the help.:)
