anyone here familiar with the MV electric lean adjustment at the SC
wheel?
I have a problem. I have had the FII on my /5 bike for 2 years now with
no problems. nice height, and lean adjustment. this spring when
getting it ready for riding, I noticed the SC is tilting down to the
wheel side...lately it has been sagging down in the SC wheel area. I
keep increasing the lean height and it still does not go as high as it
should. the frame used to be around 7" off the floor, and I could
install the factory dolly wheels that came with it to keep the height
the same when I removed it for servicing. now the wheels wont fit under
the frame. the frame is too close to the ground, even when the trim
adjuster is cranked all the way up to max height. if i jack the sc up
and install the dolly wheels on the left rear and front, the SC leans
about 2 " low by the wheel, with tilt up as high as it can go. the tire
hits on the sc wheel well.
I cannot open the SC because the nose hits the floor. way too low.is
there some way to raise the wheel higher, so it is back to the original
height with the lean down at low setting?
I called MV company and was told that if the ram moves back and forth
IE.... SC raises and lowers, there is no problem there.
Gary from MV is going to mail me some diagrams as to what to do. I dont
want to wait a week for snail mail to arrive..bike and SC is sitting
there waiting to goooooo!!
any suggestions??

John,
i just did that, and talked to Gary, the tech there he is sending me some info on how to fix the problem.
I think the wheel where it is mounted to the torsion bar must have slipped. when I level the SC up according to specs..using the factory dolly wheels, .front and rear, the SC wheel is off the floor about 3 "!!
i got to get under there and loosen something so the wheel drops back down to normal.
