Suspension Question? I think...

They are adjustable with just the shocks themselves without the extra bolts. Hard to tell which he has from here.

That what I was thinking, I just remeasured it without the kick stand and it was the same.

What I meant was the bike standing straight up?

Thanks everyone for your help. I will see if the dealer can adjust the shocks back to normal tomorrow when I get my 15k service done. I knew the bike shouldnt ride that rough. Thanks again guys.

for sure lowered then i was gonna say leaning over on stand the one side would be real high

Well guys , the dealers says I have the lowered shocks on it. So now I need to get me some stock shocks so it will be a more smoother ride. Are they hard to put on or should a dealer do it?

The rears are a bit of work if you never did it before and you need a lift but the lift is right below the shocks. Best done with a table lift that drops out in the center.

I would let the dealer do it for you.

If they were changed, it's the length, If they weren't it's just the adjustment. The adjustment at the shock is half the adjustment at the axle. I think I have that right.
