lowering a KX 100

(1/3) > >>

sokal:
I am moving my son up to a KX100 from his KLX110 and he is just a little to short. Becuase he needs to learn to use the clutch and shifting, if he could touch the ground I think the learning curve would be faster. hopeing to find a low cost way because its only for a short time.
 
   Thanks

mikesmith:
Cut the seat foam down.

Rick:
Make new dog bones that are a little longer. Will lower the rear, and then pull the forks above the top tripple clamp to lower the front.  I have used this method on LOTS of bikes to allow kids to grow into their machines.  I even posted a detailed explanation on how to make the new dog bone out of aluminum.  Cost, less than $10.  Just search the site for dog bone posts.  If you can't find it, let us know and we can help locate the post.

Good luck

Rick

sokal:
Thanks guys, I guess he's better and taller then I thought. everything worked out without any mods needed

revin:
Does anyone have the dimentions / measurements to build one's own lowering links / dog bones?

Picking up a kx100 for my son & want to lower it.
