    Hello,
    New te630 owner, seems that the rear of my bike and seat height is a bit low than official photos. I don't know if it is because of the rear shock to soft or longer rod.
    I have measured:
    Ground clearance 260mm (300mm normally)
    Length of the rod: 160mm (original or not?)
    Rear height above the rear light: 950mm

    What do you think? no value like this on the manuel so cannot compare.

    If anyone can measure his bike with factory settings, really appreciate ;)

    I have a fairly new 630 with stock suspension setup. Sag set approx for 180 lb rider. It was hard to see the tape meaures accurately while also holding the bike vertical, so my measurements are not highly exact. I have a skid plate. I tried to measure to frame, not skid plate.

    Ground clearance - 292mm

    Not sure about length of rod. Shock length with rear wheel off ground? Or just as it sits?

    Ground to top of brake light - 998

    If your bike was lowered, the bottom dogbone lowering link will look different.

    Thanks you for the feedback, seems my spring was on very soft position, I set it in the middle and the rear rise up a lot better !

    Nice that it worked out so simply.
