Mike with red R1

Hey met you at bike night, just wondering if you talked to your friend about the lowering link. Let me know Thanks AMBER amftraining@cox.net

Hey Amber, Are you looking to lower your bike because it sits too high and you have trouble reaching the ground with your feet? There is no need to go to all the trouble of lowering a bike (altering the geometry and changing the handling immensely) just because someone has a shorter leg inseam length than motorcycle seat height. Once you straddle the bike, tip it the right and PLANT YOUR RIGHT FOOT FIRMLY ON THE GROUND WHILE USING THE INSIDE OF YOU RIGHT LEG AGAINST THE SEAT OF THE BIKE. The front tire contact point, the rear tire contact point, and the right foot forms a triangle (strongest geometric figure to resist pressure) which should support the bike. Most children use this technique when they begin to push off and peddle there bicycles (remember those days?). A motorcycle is just a bigger version, most of the same principles apply. My son was 11 y.o. and 5'2", and used the afore mentioned technique which worked great for him to support his XR200 dirt bike and '90 FZR600 street bike. He never dropped either of them. Once you get used to it and practice the technique, you can straddle (or ride) any motorcycle.

i'm not mike with red r1, but i'm usually at bike night, i can get you a lowering link, which company do you prefer?
