lowering a KX 100

<< < (3/3)

tang8u:
This is my sons bike that we lower



Tyler?s not very tall and we bought this for him when he was 10. Tyler is 12 now but the bike is still lower.

Bike is set up for Cross County events

Cut foam out of seat
Build lower links?.bought some off Ebay cut and welded turn buckels to them. That way it is an easy lower and raising

Lower front forks in the triple clamps

At one time we had  85 smaller wheel front 17 inch and rear wheel.

The bike now has the big wheel back on it. Goes throu the rust much me easily.

That turnbuckle idea is TITS!  I wish I woulda thought of that.

chap:
  Do you think that would work for raising the bike.My girlfriend is comming off a klx125,she is long in the leg but i think ia 125 motocrosser would be too much.If i shortened the dog bone a few mm would it raise the bike.In theory it should work shouldnt it.She is just a trail rider,just learning,no jumping or anything like that.Let me know guys what ya think.

Sapper:
Truthfully, Being there is an array of mini parts that are interchangable. Instead of investing time and money into a link set that may drastically change the geometry. ebay some 85 wheels. It will lower a bit as well as give him some wicked acceleration.
