I conducted a poll a while back and 2 threads showing seemed to be the consensus! My Hyper came with 2 threads showing but once I was done adjusting the suspension, I moved to three threads showing.

I could use a little less seat height but I don't want to mess with the Geometery just yet. I can live with it .Something to play with later on. I think this is something I'll let the local suspension GURU have a look at

Thanks peeps !
I`ve got mine running 4 threads at the rear and the Fork legs flush with the Top yoke.
The Idea for raising it was to stop the side stand and footpegs touching the tarmac.
After a good run today all is well, its turning in better, but no doubt a little more "twitchy".
No catching the tarmac!
