neil - I borrowed a tool and checked the ride height, then had to return it. This was a couple of days ago. So I now know that my ride height is a little low as 240 to 245 is the recommended spec.

I theorised that I know that I need to raise the ride height by 20mm, perhaps in 5mm or 10mm increments.

Also, when I change gearing the chain adjuster alters the ride height so I also would like to be able to compensate.

I did some experiments last evening, Throuble is, that to get an accurate measure onto the rear subframe from the wheel centre means that I had to take off the right hand tail pipe, no big deal....but lots of ****ing about at a race meet when added to the time taken to change gearing.

Guess I'll go the proper tool route to save time in the long run.

Tried undoing the ride height adjuster bar last night. Dammn tight, left hand thread too, couldn't shift it at all.
