first of can i say hi to everyone. im 48yr old and new to biking! at presant taking lessons to move up from a 125cc bike but ive allready bought (via a mate) a 1990 gsf 400K bandit, that has been of the road a year or two and needs a few things sorting. im hopping to have it ready for when i pass the test, this is why ive joined the forum to tap in to your wealth of knowledge, its had the ride hight altered with what appears to be home made bones and a newer rear shock, the front, has forks up through the top yoke about 2" and has clip-ons fitted. all of which makes it handle poor on slow speed maneuvering. the last owner said he kept dropping it doing U-turns.. it seems to have very little steering lock to me! so to start with i want to get the ride hight front and rear back to standard hight.. if anyone has the correct settings to hand save me hours of surfing that would be grand  :thanks:
