Subject: RE: Ground clearance


Hi,

This is a brand new @. I don't think this is a suspension problem I
carry a lot of corner speed and the bike seems to deck out quite easily,
especially on tight bends. This leads me to the conclusion the ground
clearance is the limitation. Thanks for the advice though...

Best regards...

	Hi!

	Hm, wait a second... there are not exactly few people who call

the

	I rather suspect something else... did you buy your bike second
hand
	from a not-so-tall rider? Probably he lowered the bike by
	(mis-)adjusting the rear suspention. It's a little work to reach
these
	two counter-screws on top of the rear spring, but then open the
top
	one, tighten the lower one one or two revs (not more!) and
tighten the
	upper one agein.
