Just bought a used 02 f4i its lowered and i wanted to get it raised back to its original height. ANybody know what i need to do so?

 

You need to get what is called the "dogbone" or the link that connects the shock to the body. You can find them on ebay, bikebandit. How low is yours? How tall are you?

You'll need to:
1> See if the back is lowered and raise it, by getting either the stock dogbone that Stephens mentioned, or the two links that link it to the shock, depending on what was replaced to lower the bike. To do this, you'll have to hang the rear end of the bike from the rear subframe. Strong rafters in garage roofs and 400 pound tiedowns should do the trick! avoid any pressure on the fairings while hanging. The painful part is loosening/torquing the bolts on the dogbone. you'll need a torque wrench.
2> The easier part is the front. See if the front shocks are protruding from the clipons too much. They should protrude a little bit, there's a retainer ring on each shock silver tube near the top that sets the limit - this ring should be flush against the clipons and you should not be able to see it. To do this, you'll have to hang the front of the bike from the steering column or get a triple-tree stand. If you hang it from the steering column, make sure when you wrap the tiedowns that hanging it doesn't turn the handlebars one way or the other! avoid all cables/wires, avoid stress on any fairings. then loosen 4 bolts (clipons and frame attachements on both sides), and drop the front wheel!
3> You might need to readjust the suspension... return it to stock as in the service manual (found at stephygee.com) follow any of the excellent suspension setup guides online such as: http://www.gostar-racing.com/club/mo...ion_set-up.htm
