Or.. you can see the forks sticking out of the triple in the one pic.. looks like a 2" or so dropHard to tell from the pics since they wouldn't show where a G2 would be lowered. You don't lower the rear from the top of the shock. The dogbones are on the bottom and that would be more useful in seeing how it was lowered. Seat height would be something to check. Without strapping the front end down, you'd have to cut the internal springs. Based on the measurements on the front, it's lower than it should be for sure. And it looks like all the suspension settings on both are way outta wack to account for it.
Hmmm. You mean in this pic? It looks to me like the forks are flush with the triple and the preload adjuster is loosened quite a bit. But I don't see the forks actually sticking out. Am I missing something?Or.. you can see the forks sticking out of the triple in the one pic.. looks like a 2" or so drop
Ohh.. yeah, you are correct. I just glanced at the thumbnailHmmm. You mean in this pic? It looks to me like the forks are flush with the triple and the preload adjuster is loosened quite a bit. But I don't see the forks actually sticking out. Am I missing something?
Are you seeing the space between the clip-on clamp and the top triple clamp? That's pretty normal. I would expect to see the gold fork tubes well above the top triple clamp and a standard measurement on the lower fork tube slider if that was the case.

If it's lowered like I think it is, then it will require quite a bit of disassembly on the front. The springs will need replacing. The average charge for just that, forks only would be about $250. That means you would have to remove the fork tubes yourself. If you're taking the bike to them complete, then the charge will go up from there and you need to add in the cost of parts. The rear isn't so bad if the person who lowered it just used some adjustable tie-rods. They may be able to reuse them with the stock height. If the spring was cut to lower it, then that needs to be replaced. Beyond that, I'm not exactly sure since there's not much information besides the pictures.Does anybody know roughly what a shop would charge to raise it and adjust it for my weight and height? I'm like 250 and 6' tall. It's still cool to ride but I wonder what I'm missing out on by it not being adjusted

I have to find that spring then for my weight. I wonder if those fork adjustments are the same on both sides. I dont want to ruin anything by turning them with a screwdriverRegarding the forks, from what I can make of the pictures you are pretty close to stock measurements there. So I would bet it is stock. I`m assuming you measured with the bike on the sidestand. You are about 8mm lower than mine, but you seem to have about 5mm less preload set, around stock setting. Due to stiction and how the bike settles on the sidestand(I assumed you measured with the bike on the sidestand) its not gonna get exact comparable anyway.
I`m no suspension expert, but I can tell you that the Gen 2 stock rear spring is way too soft for your weight. No tuning can fix that without a respring. The fork springs are also most likely too soft for you. The dogbones should have a number stamped on them. The left one is easy to see. Get a picture of that.
Thats a negative. I look at the op pics both forks and shock is stock height. If the front was lowered forks would be stickin up like in pic below not flush.Yes.. a few inches
