Use the threaded shock collar for
preload and ride height adjustments.
Rear shock angle, rake angle, and wheelbase adjustments can all effect the ride height of the
GPV-1 RTR. The chassis should stay about 58mm from the swing arm pivot point to the ground for
the most consistent handling characteristics. If the ride height is too low, the bodywork may
drag on the ground during extreme lean angles making the bike unstable. When adjusting
the ride height, make sure the top edges of the chassis remain parallel to the ground.
Adjust the rear ride height using the threaded shock collar. The front ride height can be
adjusted a total of 4mm by loosening the VEN-0251 Cap Head Screws and sliding the front
forks up or down. Remember to re-tighten the front fork cap head screws before running the
GPV-1.
Raising the rear ride height alone will also change the rake angle. Lowering the
front ride height in addition will change the rake angle even more. Consider this
adjustment combination carefully to fine tune the steering response and
performance of the GPV-1 RTR.
