You sure it's the rear moving ? Most cases involve the front end acting goofy because of the huge wind grabbing front fender. Take the thing off and compare. The usual cures are a lower fender or a fork brace.

Preload ( spring tension ) is adjusted by a nut on the shock. To adjust damping you must snap off a plastic cap to get to the adjustment. Study the shock; you'll find them both. The higher the number the harder/stiffer Bogdan

Remove your windshield. Jeff

Where are your forks positioned in the triple clamp? Mine were set at the shipping height when I got the bike. Moved them to flush and cruise at about 80 with little or no problems, except when passing large trucks. My bike is all stock and still has the windshield on.

I've finally taken the time to read Mariola Chichon's web page. Gosh....I think I'm in love. (Don't tell my wife.) What more could you hope to expect in a woman? Adventurous...attractive....and tough as nails. Oh, and there's the love of the KLR. Now if she was rich and offered to fund a ride around the world....She'd be perfect. j/k http://www.rideoftheheart.com/
