This thread is to explain my experience from lowering my 2009 570 for ice riding, or any relatively high speed sliding activity (compared to trails riding, that is).
I do one or more winter projects just to have some fun, this year I focused on lowering my 570 as its a dedicated track bike for...
So i want to fit the synergy x bush and z bolt to my 08 fe450, Synergy can't answer my questions as to weather their part is suitable for my bike. Infact they seem happy to repeat my question back at me followed by more different question.
Can anyone please tell me the difference between the...

Always wanted the pegs a lower as I've never come near bashing the bottom and would appreciate the extra space, lower C of G for the slow technical stuff that I like and I don't like the idea of spending $35CDN per mm on a Pro Moto Fastway pegs...
I'll let you know how they work...

I've jumped from road bikes to a FE 450 and having never ridden a off road bike before it feels totally 100% alien, boy its going to take some getting used to.
To feel more comfortable I could probably do with the bike lowering 1 or 2 inches, is this possible?
Friend is vertically challenged but likes my 570. Said he would possibly buy one if he could lower it. How would you slightly lower a 2010 FE570 ?? Without a link suspension I'm not sure where he would start, and as I am 6'2" I have never had to search this topic.
Has any one had the front springs cut down & rear shock lowered????
How much did you lower it . How do you like it . How did it effect the handling
Thinking about lowering my FE450 - Suspension guy can lower it 1-2"
A while back I did my first Supermoto race. I was on the grid and a couple of the riders signalled to the starter that they needed him to do something. He came over and seemed to push a button or something on the front forks as the rider pushed down on the front end.
What were they doing...
'steve' in his gallery has a nice photo of lowered and moved back pegs on the pre '01 bikes. has anyone done something similar on the later pegs as they're a different design?

Hi,
I was looking at lowering the ride height slightly on my 501, but it's something I've never done before.
I was just considering winding in the WP rear shock and raising the front forks slightly in the yolks/triple clamps.
Would this have any serious effects on handling/stability...
Ok im going to be competing in enduros this year so i want my bike to be as comfortable as possible .
Was looking at the fastway pegs as with these you can lower them and angle them in to assist in holding onto the bike with your knees .
But im not really worried about that more interested in...
I see that Mikst has lowered the subframe of his 'berg to enhance the ergos of the bike. I too, would prefer to have a lowered rearend on my bike for increase manueverability. The bike always has the feeling that I'm going downhill when I'm setting on the seat, even with the tall seat. So...
