Hello out there,
I need some advice and help with making a decision about installing some lowering links on my 2018 ES.
The seat height is about an inch too tall for me to feel comfortable.
Yes I have the OEM seat in the lower position. I have researched seats only to find ridiculous prices.
I've found a set of used links, that were on a 2015 Tenere that saw very, very little use.
These links are from a company in in the the U.K.
What is the downside of putting lowering links on this bike?
Will I have to get another side stand? Will the electronic suspension be affected?
How about the front forks. What about the overall handling of the bike along with the effect on the drive shaft?
Just trying to avoid additional expense by having to buy extras to accommodate the links.
Hope to hear from a few owners who have installed the lower links.
It appears to be a pretty straightforward job.. remove two nuts and remove bolts, replace the links and install the bolts and nuts. Not sure of the torque value to secure the nuts. I believe all this can be done on the centre stand.
Blue lok-tight??
Thanks in advance, assistance advice greatly appreciated.
