This is a bit of an odd one. I've just bought a XRX low and even though I have short legs the bike seems too low and grounds when I go around tight corners. I was wondering if there was a mod to actually raise the bike by a few inches?
Don't know about your particular bike, but lowering/raising is often achieved by fitting suspension drop links aka dogbones of different lengths. Changing these will alter the rear ride height but sometimes have other consequences such as rendering the sidestand too long or short. People like Lust Racing do them, l dare say loads on Ebay. You may also need to adjust the fork height by loosening the yokes and sliding them up or down. Common trick to speed up turn in too, lower the yokes 5-10mm
Have you checked if the suspension sag is correct? It might be something as simple as the pre load is set too low
Cheers, My bike is a XRX LRH, I read somewhere the rear shock was different ,but doubted it, All I need to know now is how long my dog bones are and do I get longer or shorter replacements. I've done this on my old Yamaha Diversion to lower it but found the exhaust touching down so I reversed it and lived with having to use my tippy toes. Lol. Thanks again
To be honest I haven't. I've seen YouTube video on how to do this and you need a few people to help to hold the bike level and take measurements. I could just adjust it and hope but it might make things worse. Cheers anyway.
Actually l think the shock and spring may be shorter, been reading about it today but in Spanish maybe because Brave has realised that's where l am right now. Google it
Depending on the geometry and layout, dog bones usually get longer to achieve a lower seat height. For example, my Kove dog bones went from around 147mm to just over 160mm to achieve a 40mm reduction. Relatively short legs and a 950mm seat height don't quite work together Top is the standard item, below is the adjustable rose jointed replacement.
