swinging arm
As itsnotagenesis says, the eccentric adjusters on the swinging arm allow the axle to be at the top or the bottom.itsnotagenesis wrote:The swing arm can have the eccentric adjusters for adjusting the chain tension taken out and put in upside down or just turned 180 degrees which either raises or lowers the rear end as far as I know.
GPZ's were the same.
If you loosen the pinch bolts you can rotate the complete eccentric chain adjuster so that the rear wheels axle is on the bottom, this will give you an extra 2" or more of ride height and then you'll be on "tippy toes"

allen keys
Just a couple of allen keys, one to loosen the pinch bolts at the rear, 1 each side) and a larger one I think to rotate the eccentric adjuster so the axle pivot is at the bottom, 5 minute job.chadz wrote:Sounds confusing lol
