rocco Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hey all. I'm short and was thinking of lowering but instead decided to loosen up the rear spring. I asked the dealer to lower it but they had it tightened all the way. I think so anway. I don't know which way the handbook is pointing to turn it as I can't tell which side of the bike they are on. How do I know which setting I'm on now? I do not see any numbers on the spring. I see the notches but I'm still not positive. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernard1414 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Count the notches, and look at the picture in the handbook. Pretty simple, its illustrated in the book. 1-9, with 9 notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 I see the notches! Just double checking. Put it on 2...like it much better than 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I am hoping you are also light if you are short. The bike is very undersprung for a average weight person and even more under damped. If you are very light it might actually be ok for you ( a lucky one). There are a couple of lowering/raising links available and they aren't that expensive. Both approaches will bias the weight even more to the rear though ( than it already is) so be careful of the front end. You may find you have to load it a bit more with your body. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
