Float height survey

So, sometime last year I started at 19mm.

That leaked like a bastard.

I went to 20, then 22. At 22 it ran, but had a wet kind of a sound at 2000-3000 RPM and was crappy at low speeds.

I just got them to 25mm. Bike runs smoother, less backfiring.

What's everyone else running for float height?
1993 FJ1200 ABS

1984 FJ600, up on blocks

1986 FJ1200, flaming wreck, repaired and sold
1986 FJ1200, repaired, ridden, sold


I don't want a pickle
I just want to ride my motorcicle

Depends if you raised the rear end up.
I run .880 (22.23mm) with raised .

spend a lot of time above 6k and will get a small amount of popping with engine braking from high rpm.
when cruising around all is good.
