Ride heigth

Post by Motocod »

Hi Folks,

Just getting used to the new riding experience on my R1100S - and I have to add that I'm loving it!

Just wondering if (aside from adding spring pre-load) there is a way that I can increase the rear ride height, and decrease the front? Just looking to sharpen it up a little, as it feels a little low at the rear, and the front looks physically too high to me.

Thanks,

Nik

Hi
Either a gs torque arm (if your bike is a standard s ) or a verholen adjustable torque is the cheaper option. Or a aftermarket shock with length adjustability .

Nik,
Definite +1 on the GS torque arm. I got mine from ebay for £10, just had to paint it before fitting. Has made a HUGE difference for me, No more ground clearance issues and noticably quicker to turn in 8)
