Dirt bike suspension

When you are lowering the bike, you need to ensure that you lower it at a distance not less than 25 mm from the ground. Lowering the less than 25 mm will demand more shocks. It recommended not use the lowering links since they only decrease the travel. Lowering is normally done using the spacers by making the shock and forks as short as possible. When you are lowering the shocks, it’s very vital for you to know that lowering the shocks by 5mm is not a guaranteed way that you have lower the rear of your dirt bike by 5mm.  It’s also highly recommended that when you are lowering both the rear and front ends of your motorbike you should lower them with the same amount.
