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

[No]

Once the fronts done the back is less of a hassle, but you wont know how it rides until then.


You can use the C-Spanner in the tool-kit to adjust, as seen here:





The bigger the gap the harder the suspension and the more load it will take, and vice versa the lower you go (less load, less gap because less travel required).


Standing behind the bike and using both hands to push down on the grab rail (with bike on side stand) will give you a good idea of where you are currently in regards to how soft or hard it is, but you need you and your most used load (chains, locks etc if commuting if your most done thing) to get a true setting. Its a try and adjust kind of thing.

there is a download section on this forum for all the manuals if you'd prefer that, worth a look as it has more downloads / info and updated diagrams.

Thank you & forgive my previous message format, mobile phones are terrible especially a tiny SE.


I think I understand the front forks. Undoing the top & bottom fork clamps either side, moving forks up or down & then retightening. I may just take it to a garage on Monday to avoid any mishaps considering it involves a vital thing like that.


It is currently my only transport but luckily only need to pop a mile or 2 to the shops once or maybe twice a day & my first bike in well over a decade so it’s hard to compare how it should ride. It feels by no means dangerous & actually quite smooth but I would consider myself a very bland rider & certainly won’t be significant speeds.


Thanks again for the links & advice. I know it’s the preload page but I’ve downloaded & will read through so appreciate the link nonetheless & shall update after the weekend
