Bikelab quoted me pretty high prices IMHO to rebuild the suspensions of my CBR400. But it is always better to go there and let them look at the suspension and give you a quote. You probably need to recharge the shock and replace the spring. At the same time you should do your front as well. Good suspension will make your bike much better in handling.

Or maybe look for reputable aftermarket shocks...

You should also check out HyperPro and Race Tech springs. HyperPro springs are fully progessive and works for all rider weights, whereas Race Tech springs are more weight-specific.

Start by a simple test of your current suspension settings. You can measure the sag/resting height etc of your suspension by using nothing more complex than a couple of pieces of coloured adhesive tape and a measuring tape.
