Having a thick moment
 
Can't remember whether you rotate the ride height bar clockwise or counterclockwise to decrease the ride height - I think its counterclockwise :puzzled:

Its set a bit on the mental side at the moment, can barely reach the ground now and also its getting scary nearly clipping kerbs cos of the crazy oversteer :lol:

whichever way it is, its so that less thred shows (not sure if this helps or not, but its all I know:puzzled:)

DJ Tera 19-Jul-2004 20:39

Hmm not really :lol:

You have to rotate it quite a lot of times before you notice a difference in the thread length!!

Jon 19-Jul-2004 20:48

You might be better off taking it off, or lifting the back up to remove the weight . I'm almost certain it clockwise. Are the locknuts tight, if not you can work it out from them.

Doh! Having another thick moment - just remembered I have an old one lying around somewhere, will check on that one :lol:

DJ have you looked at the thread re suspension set up and the company something8superbike?

I set my 000r to their ride height legth and fork set up and its impressive...

Its anti-clockwise to decrease ride height as the right hand rose joint is at the top, so from the left side of the bike grab the tie rod and rotate it so you move it towards the opposite side of the bike via the rear wheel side (not the engine side)

Is that a new model, or a limited edition? :D

Cheers Kev - thought it was anticlockwise but wasn't sure :D

Andy,, I tried their settings, but I couldn't get near their measurement without the rideheight adjuster being dangerously long (there was hardly any thread left in side the rod! :o )

Roy if your up Oxford way again at some point on the 998 It would be interesting to see what your rear ride height is with my gauge that I copied from a DP item and compare your settings to mine.
