@RickyX , I have the ride height tool kicking about at work if you need one. Think using this will help you get the ride height right. I got a new one for the 998 as they are different. Ian
That's interesting, I've just been looking at the Corse Dynamics ride height tool on their web page and they offer the same tool for the 748, 998 and 1098. Andy Edit : I might have just found out why, the tool is the same but one of the frame grommets is a different size. I have a home made tool for the 748 so I might have a play. Andy
I heard that but tried it on my 998 and was a few MM out. Worked on another forum member's 1198 as well as my 848 so I think there is a difference.
Ian, That's very kind. Do you have the baseline settings though? I know, I am beginning to sound a bit obsessed but if there ain't no base settings to set it to, what does one set it to? Without the base settings, any "adjustment" would be just replicating what it was before, which could have been complete guesswork by the previous owner! Somebody must know! R
Hi mate. I found them on Google. It was a while ago but about 235 rings a bell. In the end, I lowered mine to 225 MM and it made a massive difference. I can have a look for you tomorrow when I get home
Now this has been a learning exercise. Rear ride height using the proper tool is meaured with the rear wheel off the ground and the shock absorber fully extended whilst using either foot rest stands or an abba stand. Standard measurement is 235mm from the top edge of the tool to the centre of the wheel spindle ......... so I am advised. Andy
Std rear height then go 3 rings showing on front and work from there. I had +5mm rear and 3 rings front and worked well, 5 rings for extreme track and std rear but some rad foul issues possible Search Kyle SuspensiOn, can't remember his name, yanky fella and his says raise it all
Andy says wheel off ground, you say wheel on ground.. More confusion to make my brain hurt! Do you mind me asking where you got the info from please? Cheers, R
Hi Andrew, I'm still looking for where I got the info from... Basically, most of them say to raise the ride height by 10 mm. But I remember once doing what Bob @comesunt did and dropped the height by 10mm. That's the good thing about having the ride height tool... You can spend a lot of time dicking around with the height and each time you change it, you feel the difference. You can fine tune it for your own needs.
