    Quick question. What "Length" should I have my forks out at. Currently, they're sitting so the front tire has about a hairline of clearance when up on the center stand. Should this be higher? Also, how do you adjust this length so the forks end up getting shortened with the same length? The whole "loosen the bolts and push on the front end"? Thanks.

    The Maxim has air forks. The fork height is fixed by the relationship between the air collars and the top triple clamp.

    When using the center stand the front tire should be touching the ground, as it is the third leg of the triangle between it and the two legs of the center stand.
