Lowering F650

[IOM]

This has probably been done to death somewhere but here goes anyway . I had my seat cut down to make bike the perfect height but could not live with the discomfort .Fitted comfort seat perfect comfort but now just that bit too high ,so thought of fitting the hypro kit . So the question is is it necessary to fit front and back or will back do ? Would pushing the forks through to match back be ok ?How big a job is the shock removal ?Cheers ATB Hughie

There's an illustrated shock removal via the sticky's list under Hyperpro conversion and dropping the forks a few mm through the yokes shouldn't hurt much. I'm fairly sure someone else on here has done just that but can't in search.

Gonna be doing the hypo rear shock spring (normal height) soon myself. Just waiting for the riding season to finish.

Best,

S

Did you try the low seat from BMW? Wasn't very clear.

Also you on your toes or are you trying to flat foot it?

Hi fella yes really on my toes with comfort seat and the seat is staying transforms the ride .Bike is light so not a massive issue but balls of feet would be great .Anyway sent for 30mm hyperpro spring and going to push forks through to try that thanks for replies atb HughiePS Tried low seat too uncomfortable

Did you fit the hyperpro yet? Do you also have to adjust the side stand too when using the lower spring?

 

[IOM]

Short spring fitted and tested no change to side or main stand required bike rides lovely no fault to report and short ass here can touch the floor much easier !!!
