Cover delicate parts with blankets or other appropriate materials. Make sure your motorcycle is securely fixed and stabilized before you begin working on your vehicle. To facilitate installation, the rear wheel should have a ground clearance of about 4 to 5 cm. Check all parts before, during, and after each step. Clean and degrease all surfaces of the parts before assembly. Be careful during assembly to avoid damaging or scratching the motorcycle. A mistake can easily happen, and parts can be easily damaged. Check and ensure that the lowering kit does not touch or rub against any other part of the motorcycle. Compress the rear suspension fully; all parts must move freely, and no rubbing is allowed.Recheck the tightening of all bolts. You need to adjust your suspension settings to the new circumstances. With the ground clearance being reduced, adapt your riding style. Always check the operation and movement of the rear suspension and swingarm before each use.

In most cases, these are about 3 to 10 mm longer or shorter than the original linkages. It should be visible from the outside. Depending on the model, please use new lock nuts and adhere to the torque specifications prescribed by the vehicle manufacturer. Once the installation is complete, ensure the free movement of the brake line, shock absorber, and swingarm. Check the operation and travel of the suspension.When lowering the motorcycle, the tension of the chain is generally increased. Always pay attention to the correct tension of the drive chain and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Finally, it should be noted that the vehicle must have a stable position on the side stand and center stand. Depending on the motorcycle model, the side stand and center stand, if your motorcycle has one, may need to be adjusted if necessary. The value of the rear lowering is measured vertically above the rear wheel axle and may be subject to variations depending on wear and shock absorber adjustment.
