How to tell if front has been lowered


Recommended Posts

My 2005 RSV had a Baron's rear lowering kit and a shorter kickstand installed when I bought it. I've removed the lowering kit and installed the correct caliper bracket and kickstand but I'm wondering if the front has been lowered.

 

Is there a way to tell if the front have been lowered without disassembling the front end? (measurements, clearances, pictures, etc.)

 

Thanks!

Look at top of forks where schrader valve is. That top should be flush with tree, if the fork is thru and sticking up above tree, it has been lowered. If its sticking up 3/4" its been lowered that amt.

Hope this helps. No need to dis-assemble anything, no tools required.

Well that was pretty easy :) Looks like mine hasn't been lowered in the front.

 

Woody, good point but I had both tires replaced when I bought it so I know they're both OEM size. (I didn't even think to see what size was on it when I bought it)
