How To LIFT the REAR suspension on a HONDA TRANSALP 650 or 700

In this video I show how I lifted the rear suspension on my Honda XL 650 V Transalp to increase the ground clearance, and how I am repeating the same process on my XL 700 V Transalp.
The rear suspension CANNOT be lifted with the catalysator, you need to remove it because it's in the way of the swingarm if you raise the bike.
In a future video I will show how to lift the front suspension, and also the final result of lifting the bike with some measurements.

[@csmanul]

you can lift the ta650 by flipping the shock linkage

[@coastrider8881]

Yes, and at the begining of the video I explain why I don't like that option.

[@csmanul]

​@@coastrider8881I changed the brake line, got a lower seat, and raised the front also using modified fork caps.

Молодец! Очень хорошее замечание.
А то что амортизаторы с виду одинаковые это не значит что они одинаковые внутри. Набор пластин поршня амортизатора возможно разный, ведь они влияют на пропускную способность. А подбираются они из-за веса мотоцикла и вида дороги мотоцикла. Привет из России!

[@coastrider8881]

You are right. Thanks for watching!

[@JoweJ93]

How do you kmow how much you should screw in the big nuts at the top of the shock (how much to pre load the spring). Do you measure SAG and adjust after instalation?

[@coastrider8881]

The SAG on road bikes is different than in offroad bikes, and the Transalp can be used for both, so it's up to you depending on your main use. Personally, I try first with the stock setting and test the bike on my favourite terrains (offroad, mountain roads), from there I adjust a couple times with more testing and then stick to that. Cheers!
