This will have come up somewhere in past threads I'm sure, but:
Pearl is French registered, LHD, 1989 4GTL, 1100cc, type R1128.
Measured Pearl's ride height today; Rear was 121/120 mm (L/R) difference and Front was 75/72 mm (L/R). Haynes on P.196 says this should be Rear 127mm and Front 41mm. So at the rear we are only 7mm out which I am not going to worry about, but at the front we are 31-34mm out, lower down, which may be a problem.
Question is, how critical is this?
Being 31-34mm lower at the front could be as a result of a heavy engine than that of the earlier types but Haynes does not seem to give a revised ride height in the supplement section. (I have looked - honest!). It would maybe reduce the rolling a bit by giving a lower centre of gravity, so lower maybe not a bad thing.
So, any thoughts anybody?
