Dunno if I'd want to by myself. Def don't want to pay someone 300 to do it either. I thought I'd be able to flat foot my new r3 but nope. Worries me about practicing now
The riding position for your body is the same as factory height. When lowering the bike like this, it just makes it easier for a shorter rider to "flat foot" the bike. When the motorcycle was at factory height, my wife (who is 5'2'') could barely tip toe the bike. Now she is able to at least get the balls of her feet planted on the ground, making it much easier for her to control when sitting on the bike.
Not in this case. Because the clips-ons are bolted to the triple tree it keeps them in the same position as factory. If you were to disconnect/unbolt the clips from the triple tree by the two bolts i point out @1:25 and then move the clip-ons down by themselves, it would then change your riding position, making it more aggressive. However I would not recommend disconnecting the clips-ons from the triple tree like that...but it is possible.
The only issue was that little mudflap thing that sits directly behind the rear shock. I had to trim it down to make it fit, but you could also just remove it all together. But other than that I have not had any other issue with clearance/scraping. I also weigh 180 lbs btw.
You should be able to use an extension and a dead blow. The lower spanner is stepped and rests on a "key". You should be able to see what step you're on & if you can go clockwise to raise. Or counterclockwise to lower it
It should be fairly manageable at 5'4''. You may still kind of tip-toe the bike but should at least be able to plant the balls of your feet on the ground. My wife is 5'2'' and is able to plant the balls of her feet on the ground with it lowered.
I'm the same height! I own a 2021 r3 now and I lowered it using a trex lowering kit and it gave me confidence and comfort! That 1.5 inch lowering makes a huge difference!! You can do it!!
after lowering the rear, the mud guard will not fit unless you trim it down. I took about an inch off of my mud guard and just followed the original contour...It still looks factory and now fits.

Did this to my 2017 r3 and it feels real nice!! Fun bike to ride!!!
Hi, did you lower the front 1.5 inches also. I see that other people are lowering the front either 3/4 inch or 1 inch also.
Your intro was like Khairul Aming. Even the voice is almost the same.
"Hey wasap guys."
Thank you for the video, i've been looking for someone that explain this but couldn't find anyone. I hope it's working on my 2017 r6.
Is it okay to lower the front only? Like 1 inch? Does the performance or handling affected especially in highspeed and cornering?
Have you hit the front brakes hard per say and it rubbed or something. Thank you
So you know if I can just lower the front clip-on without lowering the suspension ?

Zachary Manning if u are above 5”3 u will not have a problem. U only need one foot flat on the ground.
@@serlawlaw9743 I'm already used to the height it's no biggy. Lol been riding every weekend
Can you please make a video how to adjust headlight beaming
Please show the riding position after lowering

U also lower the clipon
Lowering the clipons make the riding position aggressive ?

Just remember this changes the geometry of the bike. Check the specs from Yamaha on lowering. Just an fyi.
How can be reverted if i don't like it?
Hey mate what exactly is the exhaust you use? Thanks a lot!
It's a toce exhaust
Toce full exhaust system
Can u not see the big TOCE logo on the exhaust
Can 5ft female drive r3 ? 😅
Yes. Tip toe
Do you have any issues with clearance. Any scraping?

@@julietechosierra How much do you think it cost all together?
BboyMentos 200 to 400 include the install and the parts from the dealer
Hey Jaye. How did you lower the front handle bars?
And is it possible to make it higher?
Can i use the lowering link with an 2020 model??
How much did they lower the front? Looks pretty low?
The description of the lowering links u provided says 2015-2017. You sure it will work for 2018+? Or did provide wrong link?
Yes the linked kit is the exact one on this R3
How many inches did you lowered in the front?
Thanks for the video!
Lowering sthe stock shocks of r3 2019, os it safe?
Knowing that the playing will becomes more different
As long as you lower the front and rear of the motorcycle evenly, it is safe.
Hello Sir, just wanna ask, is it possible to lift up the rear of this r3? Thank you.
Yeah, hit the front brakes? 😂
You should be able to use an extension and a dead blow. The lower spanner is stepped and rests on a "key". You should be able to see what step you're on & if you can go clockwise to raise. Or counterclockwise to lower it
Any difference on the performance after lowering? Thanks
Yeah heaps, added another 60hp to the wheels
@@CatsBtrippinyeah right
How much did this cost form the dealer?
for them to lower it? They just charged parts, a little under $200.
I am 5'4" ft. in height, planning on buying the r3, do i still need to lower it? Or is it manageable with my height?
It should be fairly manageable at 5'4''. You may still kind of tip-toe the bike but should at least be able to plant the balls of your feet on the ground. My wife is 5'2'' and is able to plant the balls of her feet on the ground with it lowered.
yeaaa bro im 5'3" and i can tippy toe on both sides and ive riden over 1000kms and it has never been an issue
Up to you and what you're comfortable with. I ride my R6 at stock height and I'm 5'0" and 100#.
I am only 5ft. Tall.. 😅 I dream to drive that kind of bike but can I drive it😅😁
I'm the same height! I own a 2021 r3 now and I lowered it using a trex lowering kit and it gave me confidence and comfort! That 1.5 inch lowering makes a huge difference!! You can do it!!
Is it ok if i lower only the front shock by 1inch and the rear shock is not lowered?
lowering just the front only can negatively affect the handling/balance of the bike, so I personally would not recommend it.
Ok men thankz for the advice. Ride safe always
Last question men. When you put lower kit in rear shock so you cant put now the mud guard?
after lowering the rear, the mud guard will not fit unless you trim it down. I took about an inch off of my mud guard and just followed the original contour...It still looks factory and now fits.
Ok thanks Godbless
I’m 5’6, that’s why lol
Why? Only upgrades we will do for ours is brakes and suspension. Tires and fender delete. It’s not a tall bike
