- Here’s a how to on installing lowering links on your motorcycle. This will go for most sport bikes, here particularly is an 09’ ZX6R. The whole process takes very minimal effort, and will allow your bike to sit lower.
This was supposed to be posted a couple days ago and just forgot to hit “public”. Thanks!

"It's only 1 bolt" proceeds to take the whole bike apart
😂
Exactly 😂
Thanks for the Video! I’m 5’5 and most bikes sit too high for me to be comfortable so this Tutorial was EXACTLY what I needed to see, now I know what needs to be done !! 💪🏽👊🏽
Straight to the point simple video with steady camera showing each step. PERFECT VIDEO! Thank you for this! Subscribed!
Also did you lower your front?
Up same question did you lower your front?
i believe the front is not adjustable
@@yeet286Should be able to loosen the clamps and slide the shocks up. Not a great idea, since it'll change the steering geometry
You ever end up doing the front end?
Smart question. You are suppose to do things evenly to help maintain suspension reaction being as close to stock as possible.
Nice work!
I’m going to lower my ZX6R, your video is the first one I see and I’m going to used it.
Thank you and ride safety!
How did it go I just got a fz6r & I’m going to have to do the same thing
Same here
20 dollar links are junk you get what you pay for remember that
wish I watched this before spending 180 dollars on a lowering kit XD I Am a new biker and 4'10 and can barely touch the ground on a ninja 300. they also didn't tell me I would need a new kickstand so now I need to look that up as well
Thanks for the video! May I ask where did you get your stuff for ur bike? Or link.
Thanks!!
Awesome video! Very well done, but do you like the handling of your zx6r lowered? I like the looks when its lowered but Im scared to do it. I wanted to lower my brand new 2023 Zx6r, but my local bike shop said it was not a good idea because it will absolutely throw off the handling (unless I was planning on only doing lean angle equivalent to a moped, then it would be ok). The bike shop said that lowering a sport bike would basically turn it into a cruiser, but Im curious what you think about it your lowered zx6r? Great job on the video and I do like the look of the bike when its lower (but I do care a lil more about how the bike handles than looks). Thanks for posting....
Jw did u lower ur bike yet? im planing to buy a 2023 636 also but is a little tall for me, researching alot atm.
@@HoyooHmoob let me know hust got a 23’ zx6r and I wanna lower it an inch
Such a good video. Straight to the point, and with simple explanations!
Did you ever do a part 2 for the front?
Prolly not😂
I wonder how long those will last with how thin the material is between each hole.
Nice video! Just don't spray WD40 anywhere near your chain, as it is a degreaser and if it gets on your chain, may cause early chain failure. NEVER spray WD40 directly on your chain.
Thank you for this. Just lowered my 2013 Zx6r following your video.
Do you mind telling us where you get the kit? Link please
omg best explaining video !!
now i feel ready to lower my Yamaha r3!! so excited to work on it THANK YOU you explained it so perfect (:
How did yhat end up going. Im watching this to make my R3 higher
good video man. wish other people made things so simple and clear
Does lowering your bike affect the way it handles, drastically? Or do people just assume it does without actually having ridden one before? I mean, I'm sure it affects the bike's characteristic.... but people make it seem like it will mess up the handling of the bike.
Tbh it’s not all about height cuz I’m 5’5 but have short legs and my wife is 5’8 maybe 5’9 and I sit taller so it’s more abut legs not height I sit taller but her legs reach way more, also it’s not all about both feet touching the ground
I guess there's no part 2. 😕
I’ve got a bike that’s way too low and have been trying to figure out how to make it higher. It looks a lot more complicated than this and is stretched. Think you could help me out?
Did you have to lower the front of the bike as well or did this give you an all around drop?
You’re supposed to lower the front end (forks through yolks) to keep the geometry of the bike as spec as possible, I don’t know how this bike would handle especially after dropping the rear 2 inches!
@@mikeyyoyo6464 thank you. I don’t either but I’m curious.
Sorry can anyone help me to see if i can install thiese lowering links to my 2008 honda cbr1000 please thank you
Thank you! Great and very educational video. More power to your channel! Watching from the philippines
My gsxr is lowered 2 inches in the rear and i am 5 6 and i am tip tow still lol
Great video, much better than most pertaining to lowering.
Very helpful especially cause we are the same height and just makes me feel more comfortable when I can flat foot a bike
I’m 5’6 too, I can put both feet on the floor but definitely can’t flat foot.. it’s annoying
i miss the Trumps 2 by 4's :c
not just 2x4s, also fuel, food, your 401k, and no freakazoids teaching your kids butt sek in schools! 😬
Very well done, actually one best I've see. Keep it up you are very good
Dude, you’re a lifesaver. I used to have a Yamaha R1 and I was on my Tippy toes. I can never push myself back. If I decide to get another bike, hopefully I can lower it. If the seller can’t do it? Thank you.
I’m trying to find part 2, how to lower the front?
Does lowering a bike have any bad effects when riding? And you think the lowering kit can help my girlfriend flat foot. She's 5,3 and the bike has a 30.7 inseam.
It can affect the driving, but you have to adjust your driving skills.
Curious if yall lowered it, if so how much and if you found any issues?
For everyday riding it doesn’t affect the riding. If you go to the track, yes it definitely will.
@@15Kilo dang then how to short people supposed to get it 😂
@@jourdan2047 they only use one foot on the ground. It doesn’t take much to keep it stable when stopped at sign or light.
How far did u go on the front suspension aftr lowering your rear by 2inches?thanks
Do you have links for products?
Will that hold? The spaces between the holes are too thin.
So do I need to order two sets? Like for a total of 4? I’m confused
great video. to the point and very well explained. Thanks.
I found both. I checked bolts : 17mm at the top and 14mm at the bottom. Question is if the holes on the link will work with this bike? I am asking because the description says this link won't fit to my 1998
Suzuki Bandit 1200s. I could not find any links that says fit to 1998.
I will appreciate your comment on this.
Hi, Thank you for making this video can you send me the link I’d like to buy the same for my bike I have a 2003 FZ1 Yamaha. Thanks
You video very good, can you show how to lowest the front too?
Hey, perfect instruction. I have 1998 Suzuki Bandit 1200s and I only see one link at left side. I do not see any link at right side. Am I blind? It has to be pair, right?
Are my eyes fooling me cos it will not lower the bike by 5 inches that would be silly maybe 5 centimetres Haha you have it next to the 2x4 at 4.30 and it is not 2 1/2 times bigger than the wood 😅
do you lose performance, when lowering the height ? , I am 5'2" & love to ride the R1but it's to heavy , , it would be nice if yamaha add reverse mode to easily reverse bike out of driveway when facing home , anyways good videos
does it have negative effects???
I don’t have any tools or jacks i’d have to wait until I get my license and can take it to work and use the tools there because buying all the stuff you need would be well over 100 to 200 especially a jack
So you have increased the rake - how did you find the handling? I am going the opposite way +25mm of head angle to have more feel from the front and steer quicker
I’m 5’1, i definitely needed this vid for when i get my bike! 😂🙏
wow, i admire your courage and the will to ride. please be safe
Nice video. I used this as a reference to unf#ck my bike by removing the previous owner's lowering links and installing the factory ones.
im 5'11 and on the toe section of my shoes on almost any sport bike or any fullsize dirtbike...idk why they think every bike needs to be that damn high!
Can I just put the Bike on its Main Stand.
Awesome video! Keep up the great work. Made it easy to lower my 2024 zx6r!
Do you have a video on how to lower the front end
Where the lowering front video???😢
Now what about part two of the front end?
The front maybe, or nawl?
awesome video buddy thanks. i still hope yoru making videos you do a great job explaining things
GREAT VIDEO!! Thorough instructions. 🧐
great detail - thanks for sharing. you make it seem easy, hopefully i can to the same with my motorcycle. cheers!
Getting ready to do exactly same thing please send information as to where you bought the part's
Do you lower the front by the same amount as the back? Meaning 2 inch drop in the back, do you drop the front 2 inches?
where’s part 2 for the front lol
Where you get them from
so not lowering the front, got it
Great vid, I’m going to do this. Maybe try the height with your boots on first
Already knew what to do, came to see other methods, definitely going to use the ladder lol thats genius
What brand are the lowering links and can you put a link where you purchased them from
What about lowering the forks, did you do that?
I think 2 inches was fine man. because riding shoes at half in to your height
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Does this change the ride?
You safe my life thanks man keep doing same like this
Nice if you need it make a custom made part just ask me...I'll manufacturing it
What about the oil change? How did you go about it moving forward?
What lowering link would you recommend for a 5th gen ZX10R?
Can you tell me where you got your adjustable kick stand?? What website cause I can't find anything online ATM for my 2011 zx6r
good video, gnarly tats. thanks bro! 💪🏻
I had the links installed but my bike suspension feels softer. I already moved the suspension to Lowest and highest setting and still feels a bit lose. I'm worried when I carry someone erj me it will scrape the back tire. I dropped my ninja 400 2 inches.
is there a video to put back to oem from being stretched with extention
Wow man, nice video...it seems easy to do. I have a 2003 GSXR-750 so do you think it's pretty much the same process?
Just bought a lowered 07 r6. I’m 6.2” how do I get it back to normal height please? Any video and list of what I need ? Thanks
If the links on your bike have multiple holes , you just use the hole closest to the other end
love the 1000 buck 2by 4 comment thanks for the vid looking to get 600 gsxr in couple days and was curious about lowering just kills me to see folks running with open header just sounds horrible and the cheaper links some are made from cheaper metal and china metal is very bad for cracking
If I lower the back 2 inches do I drop the front 2 inches as well
Recommendations for the lowering links for a 2003 R6?
Will this work the same for my H2
We lowered a zx9R. A couple weeks ago. Just fine lowered way easier. Just bought a new one. Tried to lower it and one side lowered way more than the other. Do you know how to raise back up that one side by chance
No part 2??
Whats the riders height? Can 5'3 also ride h2?
Can someone tell me what specific tools you need?
can you add a link to where you bought the link.
Your tutorial video is the best on youtube, i hope you will get more subscribers because your videos are worth gold.
Did you do anything to the front?
i like how you use the ladder to suspend the bike
Thank you. I was looking at a zx6r, but have to tip toe. So I won't be worried now. Awesome video!
How tall do you have to be(in cm) to flat foot a r1?
Please send Link to exact size lowering links
Thanks for sharing brother 🎉
Cheers 👍
When you lower the level of the bike, does it harm the bike in the future in terms of taking turns or comfort when driving?
It will make your bikes handling a lot worse. Lowering a sports bike makes cornering harder
@Dylan Spencer Did you for sure get the lowering links from Brock's? The only ones I can find like yours are made by PSR and they're $65.00.
Thanks for the video.
It’s good video👌🏾👌🏾 can I do it for mt7??
