Dexter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 BTW which way does the preload adjust the ride height? Is it so that with less preload i get lower ride height? Gonna work on it pretty soon so thought i'd ask first, there gonna be enough trial & error anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Another question, how high is too high? The little peephole (mine's BC but i'm pretty sure Meister is the same) let's me see when the there's no more thread left. My instruction booklet is hidden somewhere in boxes (moving house at the mo) so can't remember what was the recommendation? On other words was it so that: a ) as long as you see some thread you're okb ) as soon as you see the thread is running out you're going too high This is where i'd like to set it for now because track day. It's EG6 spec so otherwise it sits super low in the back. Whaddaya think?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I can't remember if the Meister has the same peep hole, but the more preload you add the lower the ride height will get so you'll need to raise it on the other locking collar to compensate if you don't want to lower it.I would say try 10mm of preload, that's what I read is the happy medium for road and track use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks man, gonna go with 10! No idea how much preload i have at the moment... factory set i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roj Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Meister R have the peep hole. I try to leave some visible thread showing through as that's what I assume the peep hole is for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roj Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 So do you think i have it too high looking at the picture? Nope, mine were like that and I had no issues. I wouldn't go any higher than that though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 but the more preload you add the lower the ride height will get Started thinking that why does it affect ride height? Isn't the ride height based on how long or short you set the whole unit by threading it into the lower collar? I guess setting the spring stiffer might adjust the height a bit, but in that case shouldn't it sit higher when the springs are stiffened up?

burbleboy Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 If you adjust the two nuts under the spring upwards (tightning the spring) that will stiffen he preload AND lower it at the same time. The bottom nut is to adjust the ride height properly. But using the spring nuts can affect ride height also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
