Just completed the Moto Werks lowering kit in this video. Nice fix to help with my 30 inch inseam. W/O the kit I was toggling back and forth with a shuffle to keep my balance at a stop. With the kit mild shuffle and not at the tip of my toes, much better. Just a note, the video shows the front end adjustment being made from the top of the tubes. According to the instructions from Moto Werks, it is 22mm from the factory settings. The factory settings according to the shop manual is 12mm from the top of the tube. So, I set mine at 33mm. I know it's a mm short, but the instructions also say, not below the smooth ground surface of the fork. This leaves you 1mm before the lined surface of the fork.
Glad you are happy with your Werks lowering kit.. As long as you are comfortable with the bike handling, ride safe and safe ride!
How tall are you?
Thanks for sharing the video. It's cool to see how you followed my installation instructions.
Speedy at Moto Werk, California
Thanks for producing such an awesome product!
How much does it drop the seat height?
Would this work the same on a Ninja 650R?
Thanks for the info. I'll design one for my ATK605
HTu
Thanks for explaining everything.
Thanks for viewing!
does anyone know if soapys lowering link on a suzuki dr650se will mess up the suspension? thanks!!!
After 7 years you are still answering people’s questions. That’s great man. I’m thinking about getting this versys 650 too but do you think 170cm height would be a problem for this bike without lowering it?
I think there should not be a problem, I tried the Versys and I'm 169cm didn't have any big issues with the standard height. It depends on your comfort, some prefer it lower while some are fine with standard height.
If I get a notification I will to respond to it.. Thanks for viewing!
Hello, I am 160cm height, bought my Versys 650 yesterday, everything is fine, I'm tip toe on both, but can stand on one full to the ground
two ?, how tall is rider and how much was bike lowered?
thx for this looking to do same on nc700x. any advise?
You can Google "Motowerk" and get to the website that sells the lowering kit.
The owner of the bike doesn't do hard cornering, so at the moment no issue with peg scraping.
"The main kit body, spacer, and washer are all made out of the 6061-T6 Aircraft Aluminum and are clear anodized.
This makes the kit resistant to corrosion.
Our patented one-piece-body lowering kit design is stronger than a casted gull-wing of the rear suspension of the bike. The lowering kit comes with all the high quality hardware needed for installation and with easy step-by-step installation instructions."
Google: Motowerk Versys for more info.
At this moment, sorry I don't , if I do will definitely post it up.
Hey bro do u have video install the lowering kit for z1000 ?
Super helpful. I bought a bike second hand that had this lowering kit on it and it is great. Quick question and shooting in the dark whether you will even see this, but do you know if this changes how one adjusts the stiffness of the suspension? I want to make it tighter to allow for rear loads and can't find the preload adjuster, but I saw you tightened the collar at the front of the spring with the grooved shallow teeth and was thinking about that. Thanks
The standard rear shock itself has adjustable preload where you use the "C" shape tool to adjust it at the upper section with the step like grooves. The lowering link does not change the way you adjust the preload of the shock.. Hope you manage to sort it out.
@@thesighbored Thanks so much! Have a great day.
how though is the bracket ??
The Motowerk website should have the information you need, and if they have a lowering kit for the NC700X..
Thanks man
I like the science behind lower the forks
They move the bracket position to lower it
It is to keep the motorcycle geometry the same. Since you lower the back, you should also lower the front, otherwise you’ll be more likely to pop wheelies and the ride would be different.
Just curious, what is the new seat height ? thanks for the video
We didn't measure, but on the website it says - The kit lowers the seat to 31.25” (79.4 cm), which is 1.85” (47 mm) lower than the original setting.
Thanks for viewing!
hello bro , do you have video install the lowering kit for z250?
Sorry I don't have that, if I do get a chance to record it, I'll post it up. Cheers!
Hello there - I was looking all over the internet and found this Motowerk lowering kit for my girlfriends Versys 650(2013MY) - not really an option to order it from USA to Latvia - any suggestions? Maybe dimensions or drawings, so I could try to make it locally with a CNC and TIG welding?
Unfortunately I don't have the dimensions, but the CNC shop should be able to measure and come up with the dimension to make a custom bracket for you?
Wassup, I just lowered my versys and I’m trying for the life of me to find the part you used to shorten the kickstand but I can’t find it. Plz help!
If not mistaken it was also from Motowerk, you can try to contact them about it? The other option is to chop and shorten, re-weld the original stand.
hi.where to buy a lowering kit & side stand kit for honda cb600f abs (hornet of 2008) plz?.thanks
Sorry I don't know where to find those item.
Nice! Was it still enough room for wheel travel? Does it interfere with the luggage?
No issues with wheel or luggage clearance, you can message the Motowerk guys directly to verify if you have any doubts..
Hi boss.. Kedai buat dimana.. Ada apa2 efek ke selepas pasang kit tu??
Contoh kawalan waktu corner atau waktu long distance. Tq
Dulu pasang dekat kedai di Puchong Perdana tapi sana dah jadi kedai moto lain.. Barang dibeli dari oversea brand Motowerk, effect to handling sikit saja sebab geometri dah berubah sikit tapi tidak terlampau terjejas.
How did the locally made bracket perform? Is that stainless steel? Any Issues? Thanks.
The finishing was not that good and quite crude.. For the purpose of lowering it's OK however not sure of the material quality for long term..
@@thesighbored Thanks man.
where is this shop located? saw the wilayah plate. I plan to install those
This was installed at Chai Ken Puchong Perdana, but the item was not bought there, the owner bought it online. Just came to the shop for installation.
After the rear kit is installed what would be the seat height for the versys 650
After lowering it, should be about 79.4cm
Kedai kamana berapa kos buat
Barang beli sendiri dari online, ada link dalam video description, nak pasang boleh di mana-mana kedai sebab ada manual pemasangan
How much did you lower the front forks by?
This was a very long ago video, if I recall correctly, about 10-12 mm
What is the net reduction in seat height?
I cannot recall but the Motowerk website has the details how much it will be lowered by..
lowering job..must rear and front both side ??? thanks
It is better to adjust both front and rear so that the bike it leveled.
HELLO, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU SOMETHING, TO REMOVE THE KIT, DO YOU NEED TO LIFT THE REAR PART OF THE MOTORCYCLE WITH A LIFT? IS IT DIFFICULT TO DO IT YOURSELF?
Yes you will need maybe a piece of thick timber/wood to wedge between the underbody and tire while you add the lowering bracket because the suspension will be temporarily detached to install the bracket. Can be done by yourself just make sure the wood is properly wedged in before you remove the suspension bolt.
@@thesighbored Thank you very much for answering
You're welcome
where I can get the kick stand adapter ????
It comes as a set with the lowering kit, but I believe it is sold separately as well. You can try checking Motowerk website for more information.
Does it effect the ride quality?
Doesn't effect that much
I struggle to make mine taller from clamps, tyres...no rest for the living...
Yup.. Some want it lowered, some want it higher. 😅
Does this lower the front of the bike as well or just the rear? Does this make the bike sit offset
This is lowering the rear, normally people will lower the front fork triple clamps to lower the front to balance it out.
@@thesighbored I am pretty mechanically inclined but I’ve never lowered the front like that. Is it easy to do
With the tools and the measuring tool it's not that hard, I think you can see in the video the mechanic was lowering the front clamps a bit.
how much cm reduce in the height?
im 168cm still berjengket kaki during traffic light.
i want at least to have safe both tapak landed during traffic light.
if this works, ill come to your kedai haha
This is a very old video, it lowers the bike about 47mm. For your height I think that's more than enough. You can find their product on their Motowerk website for more info. Lastly I don't have kedai.. 😂
if I purchase the monoshock lowering kit, do I also have to purchase the kit for the foot-stand? Thank you
It depends on you if you want to get the kickstand kit, once you lower the bike the original kickstand will make the bike has a less lean, so it is more upright and is prone to be knocked over/dropped.
LA HACE MAS ALTA ESO? O PARA QUE ES?
No, this is to lower down the motorcycle height. Not make it higher.
How did handling change?
Per the owner handling did not change.. Owner wasn't pushing the bike limits so for his usual riding he didn't face any issues with handling
is valid for versys 2017?
I believe it's not compatible, but if you check out the website they have the correct lowering link for the newer models.
Doesn’t this just lower the back of the bike. Won’t the back of the bike now be lower than the front of the bike making it a little weird?
Yes, to compensate, the front is lowered by means of lowering the triple-tree clamps position on the forks.
is ground clearance changed after installing lowering kit ?
When you lower the bike, the bike will be closer to the ground.
They have an abundance of clearance before / after. It's a tall bike. About 33+ inches at the top of the seat.
Would this fit a 2009 Kawasaki ninja 650??
The lowering link? I don't think so, the swing arm of the Versys is different from the Ninja 650 if I'm not mistaken.
I would saer uses versys in 650 years in 2016 and delivered in Brazil , thanks
Sorry, I don't understand your comment, you bought a 2016 Versys 650? If you are looking for this lowering kit, you can check out the product website - motowerk.com
Desculpe eu usei o tradutor do Google , a minha pergunta e este kit serve
em Kawasaki Versys 2016 e se vocês enviam para o Brasil , porque eu tenho
interesse no kit.
Sorry I used the Google translator , my question and this kit serves in
Kawasaki versys 2016 and if you guys send to Brazil because I have interest
in the kit.
I believe they have the kit for 2016 model, check their website motowerk.com and make your inquiry with them. I'm not selling their product. :)
Hi can i ask any Malaysia seller for this product, cause i search at online shopping can't find this kind of design
I don't think there's local seller, you can try the Motowerk website to buy
Nice
Can you please tell me how much did you lower front end (calliper measure).
Thank you, have a great ride :)
If not mistaken, about 10mm. Or you may check the MotoWerk website for the recommended lowering measurement.
Thank you ;)
Is it safe to lower a Kawasaki versys 650 thanks
Yeah it's safe as long as your bracket is a good quality & proper fit/install
TheSighBored thanks
Where did you fix this? Any contact number?
Wher can i get one
You can check out their website - Motowerk
Does it effect performance of shock
It was not noticeable
Yes it does, it makes it noticeably stiffer...
ada tak lowering kit untuk cbr1000rr 2012??
For the particular brand, I don't think so, maybe by other brands.
ok..thanks
Como Faso para comprar essa peça
Check out motowerk.com/
Do you sell this lowering kit?
Sorry I don't, you can check out their website, link in the video description..
Torque specs for the bolts?
There wasn't any if not mistaken, can refer to the product site or make inquiry with the product vendor for more information..
@@thesighbored I found a manual that stated 44ft lbs for the shock bolts and 16.5 ft lbs for the forks
If that's from an official manual then it's best to follow it 👍🏼
how much?
Check out their website Motowerk.com
how much this product?
I can't recall, you can check it on their website..
Tuan..jika tinggi 160cm lepas install lowering kit ok ke?
Akan jadi rendah sikit, mudah sikit bagi yang kurang tinggi untuk kaki cecah tanah
Bergantung pada ukuran inseam kalau pendek mungkin tak cukup lagi, tapi tak boleh buat rendah sangat nanti tak boleh corner atau langgar/sangkut bump..
someone give me a link to this product plz
You can search 'motowerk' for their official website
@@thesighbored thank you
Magkano po lowerkit installation?
Sorry I don't understand the question
Doing it wrong! He forced the chain and did not use a torque wrench.
rip ground clearance
It's not that bad, for road use. Gives better control for the shorter riders during stops.
