Bonneville Suspension Lift

Hi All

New to the group, came here looking for advice.

I have a 2014 T100. At 6'2", I find the saddle height on my bike so low that it is uncomfortable to ride, to the point that I am considering selling the bike. Does anyone know if there are lift kits available to add an extra few inches to the bike? Anything up to a foot would be good (tongue in cheek). I searched the forum and this does not seem to be a common issue. I wonder if my bike was lowered before I bought it.

Any ideas?

 

Good point about the footpegs and relative height. A new saddle is probably a good start. And I will look at getting the suspension sorted. It IS a bit 'budget'

Thanks for the advice

 

You need to improve seat peg distance whether higher seat or lower pegs. If you want to raise the whole bike I can supply yss shocks at discount. OE are 340mm. Scrambler are 360mm

 

That's an idea. And the front shocks? I should look for a set of adjustable fronts too, that I can set for preload. But maybe I'm over capitalizing there...

 

What exactly model is it?

 

it's a 2014 T100. There is a picture of it here:

(I'm no expert on these)

 

Just checked. Unfortunately YSS does not do a fork upgrade kit for that model.

 

Oh well, that settles the question of over-capitalizing then.
Thanks for checking.

 

Check you loaded sag from top out. Look for about 35mm from top out.

 

Right. That went straight over my head... I'll have to check the workshop manual on how to do that. I can't see any adjustment thingummies on my forks.

 

The loaded sag is where the bike settles on its stroke. It needs to be about 1/3 of its movement to avoid bottom out under heavy braking etc or topping out going over ruts. A small amount of preload can be added with spacers above the springs to give the ideal sag..
