Default Is my bike lowered?

Some people are telling me its lowered others are saying its not.

The bike bottoms out on bumps. Have a look at my rear suspension. Is this stock? If not where should it be bolted?

i believe the part i circled is the one you should be checking out. look at it and at the bottom if there are multiple holes for it to be adjusted, then its probably lowered. if its stock it more than likely wont be adjustable, and be just a dog bone shape.

also, for the front, do your forks come up through your handlebars? there should be a little ring around the top of your forks that your handlebars sit right up against. if its been lowered in the front, the forks will be sticking up quite a bit from the top of your triple tree.

I dont understand what you mean about multiple holes. What you see in the photo is all I can see too.

I was told the front is not lowered.

I currently weigh in at about 225lbs but it bottomed out on my girlfriend riding it and although I don't know her weight I do know she is no where near my weight.

i did not mean that as in you weigh too much, its prolly just too soft. try stiffening it up and see if that helps any.

it would be at the bottom. cant see in the pictures you provided, but if you get down and look at the bottom of that piece, it will either look like the above picture with multiple adjustments or it will be stock and not have any other adjustments available.

Stock. Just is set too soft most likely. Mine barely moves, and I haven't even adjusted the spring yet.

I adjusted my rear spring rate because it was a little too soft, but it's not lowered. no worries. stiffen it up!
