Cheers mate :)

I've just discovered my rear shock is ride height adjustable... :lol:

I'll still have a read through that thread to hear what other people have discovered with playing about with ride heights.

I've been reliably informed to try a shock length of 348mm, it's currently set at 353!!! :crazy: But that was for track use..

Jamie,
its ok to stack the spacers up to get adjustment, I just use 1mm thick washers with 2 slots cut in them and have 3 in there at the moment [plus the ride height adjuster out by 3mm].

I found it easier to slip a spacer under the top mount than to adjust the shock, so I set the shock on the low side before I fitted it then add spacers till it feels right on the road.

Thanks Chris, seems a shame to subject them to road grime and general abuse from my tomfoolery, but hey ho!

Thanks Ali, seems a good idea to use spacers if the adjuster on the shock is a pain! :thumbup:
