Default ? about 1989 Ninja 750 suspension.

I am hoping that there is someone here who can help.My bike sits lower in the rear than it does in the front and I am wondering if there is a taller shock and spring that I can use to lift it.The rear spring is set so it is not cranked down very much and it still sits lower than the front.Should I just go ahead and raise the forks in the triple trees or raise the rear?I am sorry if anything I have posted sounds confusing.Just looking for much better turn in.Thanks.[8D][8D]

No sir,the rear was done by Lindemann.I am not sure if the guy who had it before me had it lowered or not.He did not use it to ride the twisties and he had the spring cranked down quite a bit so it was very stiff.The front was redone by a Kawasaki shop in Modesto so it has not a problem.

Could you show some pics of your setup?
I have an H2 and it is not lower in the rear. Normal is 32" seat height if I recall correctly.

I do not have any pictures right now so it is hard to explain.The bike almost sits even so I am going to mark where the forks are and raise them in the triple tree to see if it helps.I appreciate your willingness to help,thanks again.

Not a problem. I lowered the front 5mm in the triples at the time to get better turn in. Tires are 208GP's
I also use different suspension components.

Thanks for the help.I just raised the forks in the triple trees 1/8 of an inch so I will see what that does.

This is the piece on the bike that he had adjusted so far back that the back of the bike was 3 inches lower than the front.All I have to do tomorrow is readjust it and all will be fine,thanks again for you help.
