I bought a 2004 F4i a few weeks back. My friend just sat on it today and thought it was lower then the other bikes he has been on.

I am the third owner, and the original owner was a very short woman who actually sold it to the second owner because it was too tall for her. How would I even know if she did lower the bike, what can I check?

Never thought that it might be lowered, but he has trouble getting both feet on the ground, but not with this bike. I bought it because I am very tall and the Honda is one of a very few bikes I am comfortable on.

Thanks for any help!

 

i have the same issue with mine,

I KNOW mine is lowered but cant figure out how it was lowered
can someone take a picture of their stock rear suspension... dogbones etc. i am honestly thinking that they simpley flipped my dog bone brackes to make it sit different
thanks guys

 

Stock suspension. The arrow is the piece that would be replaced to make the bike lower.



Edit: There's two pieces, technically. One on each side.

 

ill have to wait till i get home to check this my work blocks photobucket

 

the same deal happened with my '01 f4i. the new links that they purchased had 3 holes. One for stock height, one for 2 inch drop and 4 inch drop. ( don't quote me on the measurements.) I simply had to move it back up to the stock hole, which wasnt easy without a jack i might add. You should be able to look up stock height specs and then compare them to your bike.

 

mine is currently at the "highest" setting but its slammed which leads me to beleive they altered the location or the direction of the stock links to make it reveresed.. top is now low. etc etc
idk
i could be way up the wrong tree
i dont mine mine being low
but if i want to go back up it would be nice to know i can

 

also check the Shock linkage -aka- dogbone ... I lowered my bike using an adjustable dogbone
