suspension ride height.

[ADz]

Hey guys , I'm starting to get a little feel for suspension set ups & playing about but until I can Jack up the back end without stiffening the spring to its max!! I don't think I Can get a good setup so anyway has anyone managed to flip the bracket them selfs on the rear shock as I can't find any how to guides anywhere?? It's on a s1000rr 2014 cheers

I used an abba stand to support the bike. Then just undo and flip. It's a bit fiddly to get back in but whole job only 15 minutes

Take belly pan off and take the weight off by jacking on the headers, doesn't need to come right off the ground

I think he wants to raise the rear suspension height, not jack the bike up

On most bikes you'd use spacers, not the preload.

Just flip the off centre washer at the top of the shock to raise the seat height

LOL ! you need to take the weight off the shock to take the top bolt out before you flip it

Yeah I meant raise the ride height . By flipping the washer round I'll let ya know how I get on lol

All done . A little tricky but nice & easy made a massive difference now just got to drop the forks a notch

Does this make the front end feel a bit more planted? What differences have people felt by doing this?

The ride height won't change that. If you want more front end stability you need to drop the forks
