Can the suspension on a 2016 GS 1200 Adventure LC be raised?

Ok. Not to a standard height, but maybe to a mid point between. Without screwing everything up or costing a crazy amount of money?
Love the GSA Low, just wish it was a little taller.
 
Welcome. Easiest way is probably the seat and or the foot pegs. Happy trails. I love my 2017 GSA, before this one I had a 2007 GSA.
 
Two helmets

You might try adjusting the preload mode to the "2 helmets + luggage" mode which will pump up the struts a bit. Probably about 3 cm there.

Done that as well. I was wondering if the front and rear springs could be replaced? Would it be that easy?

You could replace them with something stiffer but that'll 1) Quite possibly screw up the damping rates, and 2) It won't be cheap.
 
The simplest solutions can sometimes.....be the most fun! :laugh

You guys are my kinda people. I read that the only difference between the low suspension models and standard are just the springs. From the answers I’m seeing hear that may not be the case. Thanks to all. I’ll just enjoy the new bike like it is.
