so i have both my 03 xb9r's out today and happen to notice that my old xb's tail is a good inch lower than my newer xb's is. same bike same year, only real difference is miles. the one that is lower has almost 10,000 on it and the other one has almost 5000. tire tread may throw them off alittle, but not that much.

its not like i am worried about it or something, i just though it was odd and was trying to figure out if my springs would be sagging that much already. i wouldnt think they should be but its not impossiable.

and yes both suspensions are set up exactly the same bike to bike.

at only a 5k mile difference I wouldn't think the sag should be that much different.
Just for giggles you should measure the spring height. If you are not the original
owner the shorter bike could have the scg spring in it. Might want to check
overall fork lengths too.

well i got my old one with about 1000 miles on it and that guy never even changed the oil or had it checked out so doubt the springs got changed, but i might check it out since im not up to much else, lol.
