I've been trying to get better clearance on my rear as I bottom out whenever my wife is on the back of the bike. I've changed the setting to the max clearance on the stock shocks but want to raise the back as I'm still bottoming out. Anyone know the maximum modified shock length for my CM400t? I know stock is usually 13". How much longer can I go?
Also, I've been told by a shop that I need to change my fork seals - but I have a feeling its the actual springs in the forks (bottoming out on bad bumps in the road). Only one side is leaking (mildly). Its apparently like a 3.5 hour job? Is this normal? Just got an answer back from our Honda dealers here in Toronto that they don't sell the OEM spring anymore. Do I have a choice and will the fork seal replacement help (given that there is the air pump on this model into the suspension)? Forgive my use of terminology - this is my first bike!
Any help would be great!
