Smaller people

I'm getting beat up by the rear shock. I weigh about 175# without gear. I tried a few different things but it still beat me up. I already took a little preload out, but went back to the factory comp and reb settings. I'm not a railer so a more soft setting wouldn't be bad. The forks are doing real good just the damn shock. Any input would be appreciated.

How much did you go down

? For a start you should adjust your Damping force adjuster to 13 clicks down from the top on Rebound and 9 clicks from the top Compression . Then just adjust futher from there. I suggest from these base settings you ONLY adjust one at a time, and ONLY go one click at at time. Then  go ride and see how it changed. Also, ALWAYS ride over the SAME road or you want be able to feel the change.
