I recently lowered my KDX220 with a set of kubalinks. (1.625 inches with the set I bought) I also adjusted the forks to balance it out, now I can comfortably sit with my feet almost flat to the ground, the ride is nice, but I've only had a chance to ride it in a huge gravel parking lot near my house as of yet.
I'm not sure if it lowered the rear too much?, and if I'm going to bottom out when I take it out to the trails. the sag difference is 3inches, but if you look at the pic I attached it looks way too low now when I'm sitting on the bike not to mention it used look cooler all jacked up in the back, oh well...I only weigh 150lbs too..
The pic from left to right is factory setting, then at rest w/links added, then w/me balanced on the seat, you can see what a huge difference it made.
The only reason I lowered it was because I was having trouble staying up while navigating really rocky trails, which where I ride is almost inevitable.
Every time I'd go to put a foot down to regain balance, there would be nothing there cause one of the wheels would be on top of a big rock increasing the height and down I go...any suggestions or comments would be appreciated, or else maybe I should just move to the desert, I've been looking for a reason to get out of Jersey anyway...
