Re: what to do

First check tyre pressures and axle for secure fixing.

You should be able to firm up the rear shocks by increasing the preload.
Look in the manual or better still find someone who knows a bit about this to help you adjust it. It's easier with two to adjust the rider sag.
It's adjusted with a tool like this.

shift the rear suspension units up a notch, run heavier fork oil in the forks - there are some threads on here about this if you use the search function
