Hi, does anybody know the standard ride height for the rear suspension, I know it's torsion bars, was wondering if mine are weak or been lowered before, cheers

Mine feels like this when I upgraded to spax vsx (feels like a downgrade). Stiffer ride feel every bump in the road but when I put my old alloys on that had a taller tyre wall it stopped.
What profile are your tyres?

My rear used to bang but my dad said it would be fine. One of my mates at work was behind me on his motorbike and said he could see my wheel wobbling. Put it on the ramp and there was sooo much play, had to get a new axle bearing pushed in and new rear shocker. Moral of story don't take your dads advice 
My advise would be to jack it up, put it on axle stands and have a good look
