The suspension can rapidly get to the limit of travel and then can travel no more. meaning you will either then break the shock or the rear swingarm.
I would not recommend anyone does anything loaded or off road with the stock rear shock on the X-Country.
Jennabusa here on the HUBB has made a number of changes to his X-Country, including proper forks and proper rear shock. (pity he never gives it a wash ;)

Hey man, I love the tank. How did you build it and have it feed into the stock tank? Looking to build one simular for my G650X :D |
