I was hoping if someone could measure the distance from the ground to the seat (where it touches the tank)? I bought my F4i last year and I think they lowered it. When I measured it it was 29 3/4" and I have found that the seat height should be 31.7" Also, could you please measure the dog bone linkage. I believe this is what is changed to lower the bike. I appreciate anyone's and everyone's help on this.

Well it was pretty dark and cold outside so i could not get the dogbone linkage measured but from the ground to the seat it is around 31 inces.
Hope that helps you out a little bit.

 

a good clue on if your bike has been lowered is the dog bone ur right.. many companies stamp their brand name on it so thats a dead give away.. also many are adjustable so they have multiple holes in them...a picture of ur dog bone would help a lot if ur still unsure..

 

Thanx for the quick responses! Silverstone I will get a pic asap, I have seen the aftermarket lowering DG's and mine is only one hole.

Many thanx

Not trying to thread jack, but... Time to get some white rimtape on that bad boy. I'm diggin that burnt orange/white.

 

^agreed very nice looking bike...

 

So I measured mine and it is 4" inches/10cm center to center. Again if someone could quickly measure theirs that would be great!

Wow, no one other than Ryder and Silverstone can help out a fellow rider? This will only take 30 seconds and 1 min. to reply. Please someone measure for me!

2001-2003 Cbr F4i Service Manual says:

Seat Height: 810 mm (31.9in)

 

... Ryder already confirmed that you were riding approximately 2" lower. What more do you want?
