Hi Team!

as I had the bike in bits to fit a new chain and sprockets, I thought I'd play with te rear ride height to see what happend.

Well stone me! My bike is now much more flickable and turns sooooo much better! Did 2 and a half turns from fully in on the rose joints. Excellent!

And those who know me will probably appreciate the "slightly creative" way I supported the bike while the hoop was off!

I just added 20mm of rear ride height to the back end of my 2002 S4. This required a whole lot more than a couple turns of the adjuster, but I believe my heim jointed adjusting rod is perhaps set up a little differently than the U-shaped arrangement on your Monster.

This change is of course the reason I'm now looking to mod my side stand (it's hopelessly short now), but the bike has a new arse in the air attitude that looks great. The steering is speed of light quick now too, on par with my old Fireblade.
