lowering a 2007 SV650

Mountain Busa · 03-19-2007, 10:39 PM

I have a friend that need the 2007 SV 650 lowered. What are some of the tricks to getting that bike lower?

You mean other than doing this:

Diamond Powersports Lowering Link for Suzuki SV650/GSXR1300R BUSA and other Diamond Powersports Lowering Links and Motorcycle Parts and Apparel from RideGear.com

I have to cut the kickstand and weld on a new piece

how much are you trying to lower it?

Mountain Busa · 03-21-2007, 07:25 AM

I think she needs it lowered 3 to 4 inches.

That's pretty low. I believe you will have to adjust the fork height as well.

That's super low. How tall is she that she requires the bike lowered 3-4 inches? Perhaps you should take it in and have a professional do this, since it's such a dramatic change?

I'm adjusting the forks also. She is comming over to sit on it to check if she need more.

Maybe she needs taller shoes!
