Title: S2R1000 Fork question
Post by: Two dogs on January 14, 2011, 04:09:29 PM
Hello
can someone inform me of the maximum recommended length I can drop the triples
down the  fork staunchion's on an 2006 S2R1000 . to avoid contact of the front wheel with forward cylinder .
Measuring above the top yolk how much stanchion can be exposed ?
Measurement from top of triple to the flat end of the staunchion tube excluding the preload adjuster.
Thank-you

It will get pretty twitchy before you drop them that much if you have raised the rear.

What are you trying to accomplish?

Mounting clip-ons above the triple?

the previous owner had them at max height with bar risers + an extra spacer
It felt like a chopper with ape bars  [laugh]  and turned in way too slow for me.
I have dropped them an inch but just concerned it may be too much.
Bike does not feel twitchy and turns in the way I like it at the moment.

It sounds like you've dropped them just the right amount.

You should raise the rear.
