Hello, I just recently bought a 2001 yamaha sxr-600 that im going to be using for grass drags 500ft stock class and i have the sled all set up except for the suspesnion. My problem is that when i take off the rear end hops up and down for a good 30 feet then hooks up sence its not just spinning but actualy hopping is there anyway i can adjust the suspension to eliminate or at least help prevent the hoping and spinning? I know the proaction suspension isnt the best to have but for now i just want to make it as best i can. Any help will be apretiated thanks.
 
btw my rear suspensions missing one of the rod relays, looks like it musta broke and they previous owner took it off would that cause the hopping?
 
I know that if i soften the rear up itl allow more weight distribution but then id think that will also make the rear end hop more wouldnt it? I will buy the rod relay and see if that helps.
 
Theres a pro action video some where, was pretty informative. Had cut away veiws of travelingsuspensionand such. Iwill look if I find it I will post the link.
