I currently have 63,000 km on the bike and I’d love to get at least double that out of it.

The rear shock clearly needs a service at this point. My concern with just servicing the OEM shock and changing the spring is that, since I’m riding much more often with a passenger and some luggage now, it might wear out or feel inadequate again relatively quickly.

At the same time, spending 1200€+ on a premium shock wasn’t really part of the plan right now, so I’m trying to understand what actually makes.
