Bogof Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 i have a go a daelim vjf 125,http://i.imgur.com/KDtf3F2.jpgi was just wondering is it possible to raise the suspension on this bike? i would like to increase the ride height a little. Wouldn't it perhaps be a better plan to fix the broken bits first?And learn how to ride it properly?And then maybe think about redesigning the bike.To answer your question, yes it's possible, but the manufacturers made it that way for a reason. With enough money, expertise and time, it is certainly possible. In the same way that it's possible to polish a turd, but why would anyone waste their time doing so?

megawatt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Most things are doable. Have you got a drawing of the rear suspension components. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megawatt Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am trying to help mate, you're not, so let the guy provide drawings. Not every rear suspension set up is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 First question is why do you want to raise the suspension? If it's to raise your feet off the floor a little when at traffic lights because you're a tall one like me (!) you'd be better off padding the seat out slightly or buying a new bike. Or if it's to help the turn in of the bike on the twists you could do what I did with my Blackbird and put a 6mm spacer in at the top of the rear shock. 6mm doesn't sound a lot but it translates to quite a bit in the grand scheme of things. Certainly made my 'bird a lot more flickable.If you do add a spacer keep in mind that your chain will need readjusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 If the shock is solidly mounted top and bottom and there are mo suspension linkages to modify, then all you can do is change the shock for a longer one or raise the seat somehow.

wr6133 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 It's a pretty standard chinese CBR copy. Drawings? Not a CBR copy. The 250 version has actually scored a couple of very good reviews. Daelim started out in the 70's making stuff for Honda in Korea. Mrs has been eying up the 250 so I looked in to them a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
