Rear ride height
 
Hi, I have an SV650 K1 and it was lowered by a previous owner, I’d like to raise it back to stock or possibly higher. Can anyone let me know what size dogbones I need and or what the stock size is. The set that are currently fitted are a 3 stage hayabusa set on the bottom hole, does making the dog bone longer lift and shorter lower?

Thanks all!

longer for short people. short for tall people. i would guess if its a 3 hole type that the bottom hole is to lower, middle hole is stock and top hole is taller.

have a look and see if the forks have been moved up in the yokes as well. the top of the forks should be flush with the top of the yoke, excluding the cap.

Ok, will have another look and provide pictures too. What are the length of stock dogs?

the reason thats lower is due to them being the wrong way round and is jamming the stroke. rotate them 180deg (so the holes are at the bottom) and it will raise the rear.

Great thanks :)
Strangely I watched a video on YouTube and they were the other way.
