Interesting remark! Although I don't carry the speed and rage of a pro rider - not even close - I do feel in some turns that the rear end rides pretty low. As long as I keep my body way up front I'm fine. However, when I get tired and my butt moves back an inch or two on the seat (it doesn't take much really) then the rear end sags and I can no longer hold a tight line in the turns. I put that on the account of the stiff BV stack and high oil level. I never thought about going stiffer on the rear spring... I'll see how it feels after I soften the BV.

Marcus, to reduce the preload I backed off the rebound clicker ass'y 3mm on the damping rod. In stock form, the clicker ass'y was threaded all the way onto the rod and that's in that position that I measured 6mm preload. The clicker ass'y is not threaded all the way to the bottom so I figured I could back it off 3mm and still keep about the same thread surface in contact with the rod. Also, I made sure that the small "D"-shape rod (that connects the adjusting screw to the needle inside the damping rod) would not disengage with clickers full in or full out.
