I'm back.... - oddbob13 - 18-06-17
Well, after several other bikes, I've gone back in time and bought a 2003 Fazer 600.
It's in lovely condition, but being 14 years old it has picked up a few little problems in the 14,000 miles it's traveled.
Yesterday I had a go at balancing the carbs and sorting the freeplay on the throttle (there wasn't any!), will find out how good a job I've done today, I hope.
But there's one thing I need some help on - I suspect it may have been lowered at some point, it didn't feel like it wanted to turn and the side stand seems close to the ground when extended, I also seem to remember my original 2003 bike being a bit higher in the saddle, maybe I'm heavier and it's just squishing down more...... does anyone know what length the standard dog-legs are on the suspension?

Standard are 140mm from centre hole to centre hole.
More mm lowers the bike, and less mm raises it.

Thanks darrsi, I'll get my measuring irons out and check it. If it's wrong, they're only a few quid on fleabay and it'll be a good excuse to grease all the undercarriage while I'm on
