ride height

Is it possible to safely raise the front of a F3S a couple of inches and if so how?
At this point I will take any lift I can get. It is not fun trying to get my scoot on my lift without
scraping,

Thanks in advance.

You could try placing two 8x2" planks alongside your lift, or use something similar to raise all three wheels so that you can get it over the lift.

:agree: If you raise the front of the bike by a "significant amount"; you can end up affecting the alignment and suspension geometries... nojoke
If you put on a set of shocks with preload adjustability; you could try adding some preload to the equation...
(That's what I did with my RT. I added about a quarter of an inch, with just two turns of the preload adjusters)

Thanks Guys for the input. I have a 2x8 with a 2x6 setting on top now. Looks
like I am gonna have do a couple of 2x6's leading to the 2x8. Currently the
front reaches the lift before tires hit the 2x8.

Thanks again.
