lowering the bike may be better if you drag race, but keeping the bike at stock height is ideal.hello there, maybe a stupid question, but is it better to lower the bike or leave it like it is (stock). I heard lowered bikes are easier to ride in corners. What will the experts say.....?
thank you
LolI wanna lower mine cause i like my shit slammed

Survey:
1. Do you live in Florida? If no, then progress to question 2. If yes, then unless you do trackdays (which is unlikely since someone who does trackdays probably would not have to ask this in the first place) you can go ahead and lower it without missing out on too much. Yes, it looks kinda cool.
2. Why do you want to lower the bike? If it is because you are short, then go on to question 3. If it is because you think it looks cool, or you never ride the twisties, then go ahead and lower it without missing out on too much. Yes, it looks kinda cool.
3. So you're short, huh? If you want to preserve the absolutely best handling for your bike on the stock suspension components, then don't touch a thing and take your bike to a suspension tuner to get set up for your body. If you don't care much about handling and just want to flat foot the ground, read on. Before you go about physically lowering the bike, consider taking your seat to an auto-upholstery specialist. These guys can shave off some of the foam in your seat and you'll find it can make enough of a difference to give that confidence you feel you need. Additionally, you might want to consider trying just putting one foot down at lights and leaning the bike a little.
Ride safe!
a jelous yank once said that to me aswell. whats donk about 14" wheels on a quad? they come from the factory like that now adays.A canadian with donks on a shitty quad would say that.
Threads on motorcycle forums are usually good for one of two things, a) gear nazis yelling at someone for posting pictures showing minimal safety apparel usage or b) handling nazis yelling at someone for asking about lowering a 599.a jelous yank once said that to me aswell. whats donk about 14" wheels on a quad? they come from the factory like that now adays.

For your reasons of lowering, I strongly suggest either getting her a Kawi 250...............................................
Or (Flame if you must) a used Suzuki GSXR600, because the seat height is lower than it is on the ZX6R and if anything happpens you can get parts anywhere, not to mention you can find them for around $3,500-$5000 used and they have Fuel Injection, so she won't have to complain about the Carbs being out of sync or not running right. Have her try sitting on the bikes and go from there..............
thanks man!Do it
it looks bad ass, check low08 bike out. I wanna lower mine cause i like my shit slammed
