    Yeah I have a manual but it is in Japanese, as I bought the bike in Japan.
    When we first got the bike it was a bit tall for the young fella so I just wound down the spring but now he has grown a bit and riding it pretty hard I thought I would get it right for him.

    Thanks Puddles I will give it a go at those measurements and see how we go. If I can’t get it right I will come to you Bull, cap in hand.
