RE: Carb Mod
The settings for the rear shock. The top adj is the compression setting and factory is 14, changed to 6. I could find no reference to changing the lower adj which is Rebound other than stock is 9 and I lowered it to 6 clicks. I also tried to dothe adjustment for Sag. 90-100mm or 3.5-3.9 in. Turned the lower adjusting nut down but never got that much movement. Only 2.25 in. Will try it there. My upper locking adjuster is frozen so I now have a 3/4 in. space between the two adj nuts. If this is a important adjustment I probably will need a heavier spring for the shock.

RE: Carb Mod
bleh[:'(], upper lock ring stuck? I'd be asking my dealer for a new shock. 
OK, maybe that's over reacting. Mine moved pretty easily once I separated the two. I mean, they've always got some spring pressure on them (well, no, actuallyjust the lower one I guess). The upper should spin nice and freely. Aww hell, I can't remember now.

I'm 180 lbs so around the same size as you.
I have my front fork also on 4 clicks (I find the OEM spring a bit spungy..so 4 was good for me).
The factory setting for the reound dampener is 12, I set mine on 7 and the factory setting for compression is 16, I set mine for 8. So far I like the settings,thebike seems to landsoft andI have not had my seat come up and tattoo me after a jump so I'm guessing the adjustments are decent.

If your goal is 3.5-3.9 & you are only getting 2.25 you need to lengthen the length of the spring--turn the collars up to the top. This will allow the rear to sag. (Yes it is the most important adjustment).
