Just get a 20-35mm low profile seat. 2 min later your there

Am I the only person that thinks the standard height is a bit too tall to start with? I get that it has to be tall to have that much travel, but i'm 180 cm's and struggle to touch the ground. It's quite uncomfortable when trying to ride in technical stuff. It may be just me......Any thoughts?

@TubieSlate 10 месяцев назад

Totally agree. Feels like they could go from the factory a bit lower and it is much less effort and no fuss with suspension when someone is taller and can just get a higher seat if needed.

@criticalmass181 10 месяцев назад

@@TubieSlate My 2007 450EXC-F was a great height, and still had heaps of travel. I reckon they've gone 'height crazy' as the seat height, on the 500, is far too much for the average person. I absolutely love my 2023 Six Days France, but it's an acrobatic manoeuvre to swing a leg over, and you need to 'pick a bum cheek to be on', when you pull up. Believe it, or not, as far as I can recall, my 1988 GS250 was even taller than the current 500! 30 years ago I was much more nimble, though!

Nice video, did you not record the Nitrogen removal/intenal damper re-adjustment (pushing out excess oil)/Nitogen refill or just skip doing it?

Is there 50mm lowering kit, you got that video?

@ridewithme2714 6 месяцев назад

How much will you estimate to do the labor of that

@samuelmandarelli2645 2 года назад

The price is cheap enough… $160.00 for 3/4”… do you think they could lower it 10” or so for $1600.00… lol… that would work…

@MotoCityTV 2 года назад

Ha! Ha! Ha! Maybe put it on air bags? Drop it to the skid plate when stopped but full height wen ridding ;)

@kovrcek 5 месяцев назад

I know I'm quite late to the party - but wouldn't this lowering method cause more preload? As the springs are kept the same (not shorter), only the shock will travel lesser distance so effectively compressing the spring more.

@lukasraus3391 5 месяцев назад

springs are same but on the shock you simply move the preload adjuster and in the fork that plastic piece 3:55 is taller than the new piece from lowering kit (spring is pushing on this part) so that will compesate the spring length to correct preload

@kovrcek 5 месяцев назад

@@lukasraus3391 oh like that make sense. hopefully you don't need the softest setting on the shock as I understand that will be lost (be a little a harder than before like I thought). forks I guess have also preload adjustment so you compensate with that, correct?

@lukasraus3391 5 месяцев назад

@@kovrcek there will be no change on the spring preload at all - on the shock - preload adjuster will compansate the lowering kit and on the fork you simpy lower the fork but makes more room inside the fork for the spring (thx to that silver part from the kit) so preload of the spring stay same so the setting of the fork/shock is the same as before lowering kit

@kovrcek 5 месяцев назад

@@lukasraus3391 thanks for your patience. ok I think I get the forks now. But still the rear shock spring stays the same so yeah you can compensate with preload but you are moving the softest preload setting up a little bit. As the initial preload setting (when the knob is zero is now maybe 2 clicks harder). So you lose a little bit on the softest setting and "get" a little harder on the hardest settings. I'm just curious cause I want to buy this machine and I'm only 178cm so would like to lower it and weighing all the options out there.

Ya! Great! Now some poor guy that’s only 6’-3” can touch the ground on it…lol. Talk to me when you have something for a guy 5’-6”… I hate adventure bike manufacturers…lol…

@MotoCityTV 2 года назад

Yeah right? We all want 13" + of suspension travel but want to flat foot when we come to a stop. The new Harley Pan America almost does that ;) The self lowering feature was pretty neat when we test rode it. 2" drop when the brakes are applied coming to a stop!

@criticalmass181 11 месяцев назад

Even being 6' it's pretty tall and hard to get any kind of ground contact. I'd hate to be any shorter (to ride the bike. Not dissing your height, mate)....I get where you're coming from. I've had to change my stretching exercises to not strain my inner thigh, when throwing my leg over mine. Insanely tall and hard to get used to.

The front forks? They were lowered.

@crazybob1954mo 2 года назад

Hmm Sorry, but the guy who put that shock together made many mistakes.... He set the reservoir piston dimension before head installed the seal head. SO, when he pushed the seal head into the shock body he displaced the piston. Now the Nitrogen volume to oil ratio is Incorrect. The accumulator piston now has limited travel and will not be able to accommodate the increased oil volume. When that shock goes through half it's stroke it will hydraulically bound and cause severe and harsh jolt to the bike and the rider. Also by not inverting the shock and cycling it through it's stroke and Failed to bleed the air out. There is air in the oil and the dampening action will be erratic and inconsistent. Too bad the owner of that bike will have a FAILED suspension system.... SAD >;)

@lukasraus3391 5 месяцев назад

also that oil chamber was probably full of air bubles - i am using shock bleeder :D
