I never touch Google. They need to pay me to do that If they’re gonna track me.
Have you ruled out a blown shock? or lost charge internally (pretty common failures for heavy agressivew riders)
To check:
remove your shock and remove it's spring then refit it to your bike with no spring.
Then cycle the rear through it's travel a couple of times noting compression resistance/rebound speed. Next open all damping adjusters (full fast) then one at a time close (turn to slow) each compression/rebound adjuster and feel the resistance. there should still be both compression and rebound resistance even full open and should increase a lot as you slow down each adjuster.
Basically mimicking what you'd do to test a shock on a dyno

I must of read your mind as i did that today with all this spare time lol
anyway the shock is bang on fine .
but ...i think im panicking for no reason as i did my sag again today with no kit just shorts, trainers and top on . and my sag is 30/31% .
with a bladder and helmet on im thinking this will be around 33-35% sag .. or am i wrong ?
if losing a few lbs over the next month this will perhaps make the sag around 30% with kit on ...Maybe !!
but im actually shocked (no pun intended) that my sag was only 30/31% .

Here is my sag
perfectly acceptible for a DH set up. you might need to run some highspeed damping.
and might need to get used to pedalling a lower BB. - The Emtb rider's crutch
Just remember. low BBs corner better. so stop pedalling into shit and rail the turns

How many turns of preload have you got on the spring?
Good advice Gary BTW

Internal Diameter of MTB Springs
35mm = Fox
36mm = CCDB, Bos, Ohlins
38mm = Rockshox
There are some others too , unfortunately.

This, how much preload?

The correct amount which is 2 full turns .. no amount of preload is going to make any difference . .
Anything more than 2 turns and you have too light a spring rate

Bottom bracket is higher anyway with it set to high in flip chip and with 160mm lyriks not the 150 standard . Bike is 160/150 not the 150/140 .perfectly acceptible for a DH set up. you might need to run some highspeed damping.

Yeah. pretty much every Emtb has a fairly high (IMO) BB
your 10mm longer lyrik only raises the BB by about 3mm tho.

Mind is made up and will order a Levo SL once this virus has done one .. you only live once and I’m going to enjoy life to the full . My missis also wants one . Told her she needs to sell her stumpy that I built for her as well and I will loan her the rest towards it . Lol she like that purple one as she’s got purple stuff on her stumpy .
What is your weight?
