Re: LOWERING MY 2000 GZ250
I'll tell you right now, if i took that bike "stock" to an MSF course i couldnt do most of the maneuvers.
My buddy has a V-Rod and went right to the DMV testing with his dual sport dirtbike because the vrod was too long to make the tight figure 8. Riders dying because they can't make a curve has nothing to do with handling of a bike regarding rake and lowering, it has to do with stupidity and taking a turn too fast. I can swerve just fine with my setup. It actually IS more stable the way i have it, lower center of gravity. Can i steer lock in as short a distance as a GZ or stock version of mine? Nope ... But honestly, the handling of the bike having the rear lowered 5" and the rake bringing the front down a few inches really settles the bike to an almost stock position and handling ability. To each his own of course ... i dont knock stock bikes at all. Login or Register to Remove Ads |
