I am getting a 400ex and I noticed it sat lower in the front then the other 400's. Can you just put taller tires or what can I do to raise the front end up a little bit.
Thanks for the help.

If it has aftermarket shocks on it... it will have ride height adjustment on them.. just crank those down to raise her up... if there stock they could be clapped out..

shocks could be set all the way soft, or just wore out. Or there something possibly done to the rearend that is making it set higher that makes the front look low ?

How does the lower frame look with you sitting on it?
Is it level?
Should be a little higher in front.
Check all tire pressures.

Don't worry about it. The 400ex's do sit pretty low from the factory. Just run an aftermarket 22" tire or even 23". In reality even if you leave it stock it wouldn't hurt a thing. The lower ride height is actually good for cornering anyway.

Thankyou that is what I was trying to figure out.

Yeah probably because your tires are completely deflated and your shocks are blow to hell. And don't tell me, "I can adjust my shocks from 4 inches off the ground to 9 inches".
