[dst1]

God I am such a Numpty, while playing at being a bike Mechanic on my 916 I have lost about an inch in rear ride height.
This is all down to me trying to fit front and rear sprockets
and trying to understand that adjusting hub thing at the back end, god I miss my ST2.
Do I have to keep turning the adjuster untill the height comes back or what....Help...I am foooked...

[dickieducati]

im probably as much of a numpty as you but when i watched someone set up my monster, with an adjustalbe ride height bar, that is exactly what they did. just wound it out until they got the height i wanted.

contact harv748 - he sells a tool for that..

[keefer]

sounds like you have wound the eccentric hub round too far.
you need to have the sprocket bolt in the lower half of the adjustment

[dst1]

If I re-adjust will I get the ride height back or will I have to use the tie rod...?

[keefer]

if you have changed the amount of teeth and chain length then yes you will need to make adjustment to the ride height adjuster.
but as I said in the post above make sure you don't have the hub in the upper position or you will be chasing the impossible
