Bike too upright when side stand is down = Lowered maybe?

[No]

You need to measure one of the dog bones.
Standard measurement is 140mm from centre hole to centre hole.


Shorter length dog bones raise the bike, and longer ones will lower it.
We're talking gradients of about 10mm so be careful when measuring.
If it has been lowered I would guess it's a nightmare using the centre stand?

Thanks for the measurement! I've yet to try the centre stand but that's a very very good point! I do need to use it later for chain tightening so i shall soon find out.


Again, a massive thanks i now know what to check on the rear.
