Your rear shock is probably toast. Get it rebuilt/resprung or put another model in.

For a rudimentary fix you can wind up your preload on the rear shock, that will help.

You can also get a jack-up link from RICK OLIVER who is a great guy that stocks many cool 400cc products.

You can fit many models but nearly all will require a little bit of modification. Many people like to use the RS250 shock with a harder spring in it. People have also used VTR1000 shocks, CBR600 shocks and many others.

Easiest way is to install a shim on top of the shock, you can get one off Rick Oliver.
