I'm 6'4" and could use a little higher seating position on my bike. I noticed it looks like you could crank on a spring tensioner on the suspension under the bike to raise the ass end up. Anybody know anything about this or have you done it? Thanks. :???:

955iLimited, Triumph doesn't even mention adjusting the collar on the rear spring in the owner's manual. In real life it can be adjusted, but not likely over two full turns in either direction. A corresponding change to the rear shock settings will/should also have to take place.

Nothing adjusted on the suspension is going to change the static ergos...saddle, pegs and bars.

Ride height can be changed...but it's a real P.I.T.A.

I did mine with a long drift and a hammer. Like I said, PITA, but well worth it. I am 6 ft 1 and 220. Stock settings were a touch on the spongy side for me.

Be sure to address the entire suspension setup, and not just the ride height. Like Bradtx said, changing one affects the rest.
