im just a little confused, when you loosen one side, arent they both sort of...connected still? aka wont move...i dont understand doing one side and then the other...2002 GSX-R750

oh ok, that makes sense now, thanks2002 GSX-R750

Lowering the Kat
Dang...All this time I thought it was going to be difficult to lower my bike...But Damn it took 20 mins...I went to the lowest setting on the rear shock (tool provided in the tool kit) and went 1 1/2 " with the front (2 bolts on bottom and 1 on top) and a little stiffer so it doesn't bottom out...Thanks for the post. I tried the search on this before but couldn't find out how.Don't Chase Um...Replace Um...
No It's Not Stolen...But That's How I Ride It...

Update: Bike handles a bit different. Lowereing it about an inch seems to have decreased the ammount of time from when I push on the bars to when the bike starts to lean. In other words, in stock form, it seemed to take a bit longer for inputs to take effect. It definetely quickened up the steering to where I could notice.2002 GSX-R750

I lowered mine exactly 1 inch. and i am only running 2/3 stiffness and i never come close to bottoming out mine. Then again i only weight 150lbs, so your weight may be a factor.
as far as i can tell....lowered one inch, i still have almost 3 inches of travel on my forks...2002 GSX-R750
