Belt not chain !

Buckingham · Dec 19, 2008

Guys,
working on an F650CS, 2003, belt drive. How is the belt tension adjusted ?

Though it's already a low seat model, we need to lower it even more for a very short rider. I'm thinking this means longer links between the triangular pivot at the bottom of the shock and the swinging arm.
Anyone know where to get these please ?
How would I work out the increase in length of the links to give a 30mm lowering of the seat, except by trial and error - in my case no doubt it would be the latter :toungincheek

Could anyone on here make some to pattern ?

Cheers John

Do a search for Kouba Links,they do lowering links for the GS but I don't know if they fit the CS.

If it came out of the factory as a 'low seat' model, I think they achieved that by lowering the suspension. If that's so, you may struggle to lower it further.

hi John,
have you been playing with the belt

USA blackbelt gang has some good info

i think kouba link do lowering links for the cs,also there was someone on germany ebay offering a lowering link.
the front forks do not have much adjustment on them.
these bikes are low with the 17" wheels.
they can give them gs's a run for there money
