Front suspension ZX7

Post by climbatize »

Ok, just trying to sort out the suspension a little today. Apparently, going by the owners manual, you cannot adjust the ride height on the front of these bikes. However, this site/page begs to differ.. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/webzxr/zxr750r

Why would the owners manual tell a fib? It does seem impossible to turn this nut/bolt. Anyway.. the threaded bolt type thing coming from the yoke is lower on one side than the other. So this would suggest it can be adjusted. Upper fork clamp bolt I think it's called. Can this be adjusted? There are rounded marks on the nut to suggest that it has been tried.

My bike should be as tight as a nun's snatch by now.. anyone care to explain why it is not good besides comfort factor?
