I want to get the Lean Angle of the Bike on the Sidestand. I'm using the swingarm as a vertical reference point. Looks like it is leaning over 28 degrees. When I lower the bike I'll know how much I have to shorten the sidestand.
Looks like the bike is leaning over 28 degrees.
I shimmed the side stand until the bike was vertical and measured 10" of ground clearance.
When I lower the bike's rear link and slip the front forks I want to make sure the front of the bike is lower than the rear. The bike will always be level if the bubble is centered when I put the 4' level on the bike with the same shims.
With the rear tire on the ground place a piece of tape on the frame vertically above the swingarm centerline.
I'm going to measure from the bottom of the swingarm through the center of the axle to my reference point.
I marked a reference point on the tape and measured 24-5/8""
I jacked the bike up so the rear wheel is off the ground. The rear wheel will drop to its lowest point.
I measured the distance with the dropped rear wheel which is 26-1/4. The difference between the 2 measurements is 1..625" or 1-5/8", which is the static sag.
