Suspension height and tire sizes
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 12:04 am
Just wanting to see what you guys think of this setup. This is not my doing but the bike was purchased this way. The bike is running a 150/60/18 and a 120/60/17, the rear of the bike has been raised with dogbones(not sure how much, but I am 6 ft and can flat foot it) and the front has been dropped about 20mm in the tubes. Is this a good or bad setup or personal preference? I read somewhere if you run a 120 you should lower the front end to return some of the turn-in lost because of a wider tire. Is this right? I have the stock dogbones, so my last question is should I return it all back to stock? I am still a newb and have not ridden enough motorcycles to tell the difference. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
