Re: 01 750 Monster, Front suspension height & mod questions? (SoCalMonster)
don't know what the stock fork geometry on your bike is (you can look this up in the service manual, or someone here will advise the measurements).
on pushing the fork tubes down or raising them, here is what you can expect in terms of handling:
- raise the forks in the triple tree (i.e.: decrease rake) and the front end will stick more in corners, but at extreme can become twitchy (this can be compensated for with a steering damper).
- lower the fork tubes in the triple clamp (i.e.: increase rake) and the front end will become less responsive in corners but the bike will become more stable in straight line.
hope this helps.
