I'm still messing about with this. I think the previous owner might have ajusted the ride height. Does anyone know the std length of the ride height from end to end.
Thanks

Don't do what I did 2 weeks ago and leave my 12 year son on the pillion seat while I dashed to the cash point. Yep, over she went! I've done it on other bikes with no problem but boy, £200 worth of touch up on the paint and a broken clutch leaver (£50). Luckily I managed to throw my legs under her just before she hit the deck.

How much for a lever? I'm gonna start saving now as I'm convinced mine will be over at some point. Does no one do alternative levers.

I got a new pattern brake lever on eBay for £15 (2003 749S). I can't tell the difference to be honest. There are a couple on therea t moment for £12-95 and £14-95, "buy it now" prices.

Ride height is covered on the section8superbike tech doc. Have a read of that.

285mm is what they reckon it should be (Showa and Ohlins), but it's a sod to measure.

section8superbike: 749-999 suspension

Henry, read it and see what you mean. I've printed off and will have a proper go at setting up at the weekend when I have more time.
Thanks

Have ordered one as a spare. At £15 well worth the outlay.
Thanks

just after I bought mine at Daytona (one week wait) and paid £50, saw one on fleabay for £14. Aint it just the way!!
