Adjusting the Rear Suspension

[Oily Fingers]

First i am sorry if this is in the wrong section.

Right as i just bought the bike i am twicking it to suit me better. I have noticed the rear wheel has been chatching the reg plate at the bottom, i am goin to do the tail chop mod soon but for the time been, i have cut away seom of the excess plastic at the bottom of the plate, but i was wondering how to adjust the hieght of the rear suspenion. is it only possible with the paddock stand holding it up????

cheers joel

on the old models you can adjust the ride height by via the shock linkage:
1 remove the linkage from the swingarm at the 2 rose joint (you will need to winch the bike up at the rear,taking the weight load completely off the wheel, a paddock stand won't do)
2 undo the bolt that keep the rose joint tight against the linkage
3 undo the rose joint untill you're happy with the height( make sure both side are even)
4 tighten the bolt against the linkage
5 refit
on newer models, I don't know..hope this helps..
