Lowering Suspesion

Post by hale2160 »

Hello,
I have just bought a 2010 XT660Z and find it very tall (or my legs have shrunk), one foot flat and one on toes! Has anyone got any advice/thoughts on replacing the dog bone links to lower the suspension?

Any help would be gratefully received before I get the next set of traffic lights wrong!

Happy riding,

Hal

Hi, I had the same problem with my MZ Baghira (same 660 engine) and I changed the dog legs for a longer set meant for a Hayabusa. Easy job and much, much better.
Good luck!
