KoubaLink Lowering Link Kawasaki KLX250R/300R Suzuki RM125/250

1) Raise the rear of the motorcycle with a jack under the engine so the rear wheel is just slightly off the ground. The best way is to tie the handle bars down to floor side mounts so the bike cannot tip over. Be careful where you put the jack and try to get it towards the rear of the engine so you are mainly lifting the rear. We use a wood 2 X 8 about 10" long on top of the jack. If you have the optional center stand then just pull it up on that and your good to go. Remove the two 17 mm nuts from the link mounting bolts (both 14 mm headed mounting bolts come in from the left) Remove the two 8mm Allen headed bolts from the left foot peg/side stand mount to allow the front link mounting bolt to come out the left side. If you have the center stand then it must be down to remove the front link mounting bolt. Push both mounting bolts out the left side. *The swing arm may need to be raised slightly to allow the first bolt to slide out freely*.

Disclaimer: lowering the rear more than the front can change the geometry and could affect the handling, so be careful.
