Can anyone offer some advise on how to fix the following. When I ride through a bumpy section or through some whoops, the back end of the bike kicks up and sways from side to side. I currently have the high/low compression and rebound settings to stock.

Slow down the rebound on the shock. It is extending too fast. If you slow it down too much it will pack--never extend all the way when riding through rough sections--so play with it. It's always good to go to the extremes and then back it off so you know how it will react. Just adjust one setting at a time so you know what did what.

Are you sure you still have dampening? Is it REAL springy just sitting? If you are riding indoors, bury the clickers, it stiffens and slows everything down. Thats a local pros advice on fixing swapping. Vintage Bob
