Brock, I'm 55 and have been doing this shit since I was 11. I'm in the u.k so limited tracks (more 1/8 sprints), but I have to commend you on your vids. I was Suzuki technician of the year, but every day is school day ! Thank you.
Lol, you are 100% correct! Cory is not only a fantastic cameraman... he edits even better. Some of the words that come out of my mouth are just garbled junk sometimes, but he can make me look good anyway. Thanks for the props, he deserves them.
I already have some technical know-how when it comes to bikes but man your videos are educational and refreshing! I find myself completely sucked in to learning much more deeply about these machines thanks to you. You have a very clear, methodical but also interesting way of explaining all these different aspects of motorcycles. Ill definitely help share and spread the word about your channel. Keep up the awesome videos man. Ill definitely be staying tuned to whatever you put out.
I'm hooked and love every second of every video you make, Brock - and I'm not even particularly interested in drag racing! BTW, Bimota and Hesketh and a couple of others have made bikes where the output shaft and swingarm pivot are in line with each other, but the design never became commonplace.
I really enjoy watching these so much to learn. I pay $1000. If you did one of these for 2008 ZX-14 but I would want it to be a stage one RCC turbo charger, more for the street just a super cruiser. 80% engine, 20 % good set-up for handling. Cheers Brock from Canada.
Yes. My buddy Mike Davis from Columbus, OH at the controls. Rider weight 205 lbs. suited, at the beginning of the night. Crew chief selected the wrong gear. Put him on a wheelie monster and still ran 156 MPH.
I'm glad you cleared that up about the brakes. Some of these self-proclaimed geniuses that make videos out of their garage and work on bikes in the dirt, don't understand that this is a drag race modification only. These guys will remove one rotor off the front to show off their stock ass front wheel but cringe at the thought of taking a little material off the brake pad. That's the kind of secrets that drag racers have pushed the limits on for years to win races. Keep the videos coming. Still waiting on an explanation of how that clutch cushion works. LOL
Thanks again for you time and knowledge!! When I was younger I liked road racing bikes. Had people tell me id be good at dragging them more. After cars (strip and street) just lost interest in drag racing in general. A couple of years ago a friend had me try his 89 Fj 1200. It was fun for a couple of runs but not for me. I was 5ft 3in 98lb until my early 20s and I was told to race HORSES !?!?? (cant stand them!!) Now ill be 51 next month 5"6 at 120lb and still like curves more, O well enjoyed and look forward to how a drag bike works. Thanks again!!
Sounds sooooo good. Wouldn’t use any other exhaust. Had the alien head on my 05 Hayabusa Limited Edition and will be putting it on my ‘19 Hayabusa too.
Tip for anyone needing bolts for the front fender reflector removal: the bolts holding the seat is the right shoulder, and looks the same as the rear bolts.
I run the chain on the tight side. Chain link height is all the slack I allow, about 0.5 to 0.625 inches. The shifting is better, and wheelies are better - hahaha
Hey Brock I have in 2011 gsxr 750 . Just install a vortex lowering link kit ( LL542) . Would I have to lower the front fork? Daily driving no track . Highway and street only . Thank you great video bro
Hello Miguel, for daily driving we set the bikes up to be level, or raised a bit in the rear (slightly nose-heavy) by lowering the front forks to match the rear drop from the link install. The bike will handle/brake more precisely, and be less subject to head shake/wobbles etc. Here is more info. on our VertKit install on the BMW S1000RR, you can follow these guidelines to adjust your 750. Please note the warnings and items of caution: brocksperformance.com/content/Instructions/S1000RR/998035.pdf
I am NOT going Drag Racing... BU... I have a rather short inseam -- 'complicated' by 7 major leg surgeries that have reduced my range of motion and my knee strength. AND on the FZ1, the factory placed the foot pegs directly at the point where my ANKLES should be when my feet are on the ground... So I need to lower the seat yet still have enough cushioning for daily riding... Can I raise the fork-tubes by an inch, or so, and drop the rear by about the same amount, with an adjustable link, without 'destroying' good handling on twisty mountain roads? I WISH there was a reasonable way to simply lower the mounting point for the tail-section sub-frame, and fiddle a bit with 'set-backs' for the foot controls... but that doesn't seem possible. I really enjoy your videos!! Even though I am not Racing anyone, I still pick up a lot of adjustments and ideas to make my bike 'better'...

Brock. Same bike. Following both you and C Moore footsteps with this bike. Ordering this lowering link now. But where did you get the exact passenger seat cover for this bike.
Hi there . I have a question here . After dacatting the stock gsxr1000r 2017 header, what should i do with the front Set valves(Exup) ? I have a slip-on pipe from Austin racing and a titanium link pipe right now with a servo buddy. THANK YOU.. 😅
With the stock (small diameter) head pipes, the bike will lose top-end power if the SET headpipe crossover valves do not continue to function as normal.
really quality video but i want to konw how to set the headlight view to become higher，coz when I lower the front ，the headlight view become lower also.thanks!
@Ivg - Lowering the rear will straighten the headlight. Some guys run the strap with a small amount of tension to direct the headlight where they want it to land.

I really enjoy watching your videos Brock. Do you have any experience tuning triumph street triples... Mainly the new 765 engine one? Btw I been doing muay thai and chi lin for 20 years. You kind of look like an instructor around where I live, Similar build anyways. Are you new to to practicing it?
@@BrockDavidson I just got a package from you guys, yesterday. CT Meg Ti exhaust, Window Lowering Link, and adjustable side stand for my '21 GSXR1000R. Chris Moore sent me. You guys' videos are very helpful!
Very informative. I have a 01 Gsxr1000 and now in my older age 47 its too high. Not racing slow cruising. Wanna lower back down hate riding at a 45 degree basically. Bought a Harley love it but now gsxr not comfortable 😂
There are companies that make more comfortable bars/seats/controls just to help our aging bodies keep riding the earlier bikes. I used to laugh...now, I want!
Hey I'm trying to lower my 19 gsxr. I can flat foot it. But my ass can't get my leg over it. I got up to a 4 inch drop in the back. I noticed if mash my ch3st to the tank I can do it. Should I lower both parts equal. Front to rear? Will it affect my geometry. Bike rides amazing. Other than my short legs.
As a general rule, we like to have the bike as level as possible as trail changes on the front end can cause irregular handling after such extreem changes on the rear. Make sure you are prepared with one of our adjustable kickstands as the OEM will no longer function correctly.
Can your links be used to raise the bike slightly? I switched to a different size tire and it lowered the rear of my bike about 1/2". I'd like to sdjust the rear back to stock rather than lower the front to match...
Out of the box - not usually as they are configured as "lowering links". That said, some bikes do allow raise and lower and some links can be custom configured with a shorter adjustment rod. Please contact our customer service team for more information. Or go here to request exactly what you are looking for: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/
@@BrockDavidson Thanks I'll put in a request for what I need. I'll measure the stock dogbone length and if I can buy a set that will get 10mm (give or take) shorter that will work a treat, thank you for responding so soon!
Nobody talks about the front that's the elephant in the room. If I lower the rear 2in how much do I lower the front on an 05 zx10r do I lower it the same or an inch. I want to street ride this bike mostly for highway pulls and just riding everyday
We had the seat stepped by a local upholsterer and re-covered in headliner material to save cost. We have a similar version available for outright purchase here: brocksperformance.com/custom-corbin-seat-for-suzuki-gsx-r1000-r-17-23/
Not sure if it’s just my thinking but wouldn’t leaving the rear higher and dropping just the front prevent more wheelies then lowering both? Trying to get the physics
Some people believe so, but we don't find that to be the case at the track. With the rear end raised, the rider has a higher cg - anything that lowers the rider (cut seat, etc...) will lead to less wheelies.
Brock I'm a big fan of yours! I also live in Xenia. I ride a 2006 gsxr 750. It's pretty much stock,except I lowered it. I love your lowering link. I bought an ebay special adjustable links. Andi launched hard and it broke one eye end. I am glad i checked it today,heard a rattling. Scary stuff! Anyway what kinda glasses are those and where did you get them? They got a yellow tinge to them. Ok well when I ever get extra cash I'll come see you!
@kevin Please send info. And images To sales@brocksperformance.com we would like to inspect your links. We don't sell on eBay, but we do deal with poor quality counterfeit items more often these days. If they were ours, we will gladly remedy the situation.
Ok I'll try and take some pictures of the dog bones I got off Ebay. I think they were the $49.95 pair/ knock off from China. They don't resemble yours Brock. These had two side links with an adjustment nut in the middle. I can tell yours are very well made. I didn't know you had a lower link available until I seen this video. Anyway thanks for the response and hope to get some tips from you on clutches and stuff! Ttys!
Hi Brock witch sprocket did the black gsxr 1000 use at the time you guys dragrace it? Om standard wheelbase. You have that bike on your website promoting the ellien head
Brock what will be the best setup to keep the front down with a extended swingarm. To have the front lower then the back to have it even or to have the back lower then the front. Thanks
As explained in the video, there is no 'best' for any of this...there is a starting point, then track side testing to determine which works out best for the bike/rider combination.
Dear Brock, at the min 35:06 of this video you say that this "window link" can also raise your bike. This would mean a shorter link than OEM (142mm). Can you please confirm that and specify how shorter can i it go? thanks
That is a general statement regarding the fully adjustable design of our Window Links. On the 2017 GSX-R1000 -*specifically* the link will run into the cat if the bike is raised. If an aftermarket full system is used, the bike can be raised, but the adjustment rod must be shortened for any substantial change. If you believe there is a market need for a link that can be raised, please submit your request here: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/ and our engineering team will take a look.
@@BrockDavidson thanks for the answer. well to be honest, i really like your videos on the Gixxer > L7 but i am really not a drag racer. However i have learned a lot from your videos. thanks!! Anyway, i really believe that a adjustable link could be very useful in track racing because it would allow you to play with height but in particular with suspension progressiveness. Moreover, it would be fast, easy and cheaper than having a stock of "Yoshi" dogbones that cost a lot and take more time to be fitted. If you look at MotoGp, they all have an adjustable link.
@@ubbaracingdepartment9892 Your bike doesn't know where it's wheels are spinning. If you fill out the form, engineering might have a shorter adjustment rod for you? We make lower and raise configurations for the H2/BMW and a couple others, but that's because their geometry allows it. With the gixxer, it can't happen with a single rod length.
@Allen Grant On our Brock's Performance extended bikes, we consider 3" ground clearance about as low as practical on the street with rider sag set at about 9/16" and the correct spring preload and compression/rebound settings. More on rider sag: ua-cam.com/video/ZqIiIB_oP1I/v-deo.html . More on compression/rebound: ua-cam.com/video/ZsIcE5GoGvk/v-deo.html Remember, it's better to be too tall, and slowly walk it down in small increments than to slam it right away, break your oil pan, drag bodywork or even crash...

i have a situation. I set TC to 3 and riding normally then suddenly TC light goes on and engine mode and tc showin (-) and chec in mentioned.....then what does it mean ?
@@hassnanbig you will need to purchase a Genuine Suzuki Service Manual. It will show you how to place the bike in dealer mode to display the codes, then cross-reference the codes with other manual's definitions to determine exactly what the bike thinks is wrong and what needs to happen to repair, so the codes will not return. Or, let you local Suzuki dealer handle.
@@BrockDavidson that's true, it took me 2 hours just to change the front sprocket but it does made it easier to set the chain's free play espescially on a supermoto/dirtbike like the husqvarna.
@Tae Tae - 5/8 and 3/4 open-end wrenches. (Material used is not available in metric sizes) Please remember one side has a left-hand thread - see instructions. LOWER also means direction to LOOSEN the jam nuts.
Since it's throttle by wire - the tension exists only to make you feel comfortable as a rider. Feels like a perfect pull and release...even if it's only a radial potentiometer.
@@BrockDavidson thank you for the reply boss . perfect just making sure I don’t wanna dent those nice headers lol going to be putting a order in for my 2024 gsxr 1000

Great videos and very knowledgeable but brock u are taking business away from shops that do this kind of work to make a living. Just something to think about.
@Future - what I think most about is how telling the same old story and 'hoping' for a different result has resulted in a 90% decrease in sportbike sales over the last 10 years. I personally don't believe that quietly standing back and watching sportbikes die out completely is the best approach and would suggest a similar thought process to any shops that feel like educating the consumer is bad for business. I assure you that having no customers is far worse for business.

Nobody talks about the front that's the elephant in the room. If I lower the rear 2in how much do I lower the front on an 05 zx10r do I lower it the same or an inch. I want to street ride this bike mostly for highway pulls and just riding everyday

Hi, when you inspect clearance, is it more appropriate to remove the shock springs to check? With link removed its not how it operates.
That would depend upon what the major obstruction on your bike is. Will the shock bottom out before other hard parts on the chassis? Etc...
Best on UA-cam 👍👍
Where can I get that step down seat?? Great informative video my man!
We had the seat stepped by a local upholsterer and re-covered in headliner material to save cost. We have a similar version available for outright purchase here: brocksperformance.com/custom-corbin-seat-for-suzuki-gsx-r1000-r-17-23/
Thank you sir!
Not sure if it’s just my thinking but wouldn’t leaving the rear higher and dropping just the front prevent more wheelies then lowering both? Trying to get the physics
Some people believe so, but we don't find that to be the case at the track. With the rear end raised, the rider has a higher cg - anything that lowers the rider (cut seat, etc...) will lead to less wheelies.
Brock Davidson well you just took more of my money 😂
lol
Brock I'm a big fan of yours! I also live in Xenia. I ride a 2006 gsxr 750. It's pretty much stock,except I lowered it. I love your lowering link. I bought an ebay special adjustable links. Andi launched hard and it broke one eye end. I am glad i checked it today,heard a rattling. Scary stuff! Anyway what kinda glasses are those and where did you get them? They got a yellow tinge to them. Ok well when I ever get extra cash I'll come see you!
@kevin Please send info. And images To sales@brocksperformance.com we would like to inspect your links. We don't sell on eBay, but we do deal with poor quality counterfeit items more often these days. If they were ours, we will gladly remedy the situation.
Ok I'll try and take some pictures of the dog bones I got off Ebay. I think they were the $49.95 pair/ knock off from China. They don't resemble yours Brock. These had two side links with an adjustment nut in the middle. I can tell yours are very well made. I didn't know you had a lower link available until I seen this video. Anyway thanks for the response and hope to get some tips from you on clutches and stuff! Ttys!
Hi Brock witch sprocket did the black gsxr 1000 use at the time you guys dragrace it? Om standard wheelbase. You have that bike on your website promoting the ellien head
If it's the bike I belive you mean, it was one down in the front and two up in the rear.
Brock what will be the best setup to keep the front down with a extended swingarm. To have the front lower then the back to have it even or to have the back lower then the front. Thanks
As explained in the video, there is no 'best' for any of this...there is a starting point, then track side testing to determine which works out best for the bike/rider combination.
Dear Brock, at the min 35:06 of this video you say that this "window link" can also raise your bike. This would mean a shorter link than OEM (142mm). Can you please confirm that and specify how shorter can i it go? thanks
That is a general statement regarding the fully adjustable design of our Window Links. On the 2017 GSX-R1000 -*specifically* the link will run into the cat if the bike is raised. If an aftermarket full system is used, the bike can be raised, but the adjustment rod must be shortened for any substantial change. If you believe there is a market need for a link that can be raised, please submit your request here: blog.brocksperformance.com/product-request/ and our engineering team will take a look.
@@BrockDavidson thanks for the answer. well to be honest, i really like your videos on the Gixxer > L7 but i am really not a drag racer. However i have learned a lot from your videos. thanks!!
Anyway, i really believe that a adjustable link could be very useful in track racing because it would allow you to play with height but in particular with suspension progressiveness. Moreover, it would be fast, easy and cheaper than having a stock of "Yoshi" dogbones that cost a lot and take more time to be fitted.
If you look at MotoGp, they all have an adjustable link.
@@ubbaracingdepartment9892 Your bike doesn't know where it's wheels are spinning. If you fill out the form, engineering might have a shorter adjustment rod for you? We make lower and raise configurations for the H2/BMW and a couple others, but that's because their geometry allows it. With the gixxer, it can't happen with a single rod length.
What TAIL TIDY is that I don't see it on your website all I see is the Yoshimura one and it doesn't look like that
It's the Yosh, we just left off the turn signal mounts.
Yeah, but are there any ceramic bearings installed in the rear suspension's linkage???
They are needle bearings, so no.
How much will increasing the rear height by 1 inch affect the handling and balance of the motorcycle?
For most people, it won't be noticed. For road racing, it will reduce trail and quicken the steering.
@@BrockDavidson Thanks for the good advice.
Looked on the site, does the “all motorcycle” lowering link work on a cbr600rr? (I didn’t see it specified) I have a female wanting to ride
No. You will need a link specifically designed for that bike. We don't produce- sorry.
@@BrockDavidson Thanks
I have a 02 Yamaha r6 that is stretched and lowered . Can I possibly get some information to put it back to stock.
My email is driver2186@gmail.com
The Service manual for your bike will tell you everything you need to know,
how low would you recommend lowering a ‘22 zx14 ? i have a(n) adjustable 12-14 inch swingarm
@Allen Grant On our Brock's Performance extended bikes, we consider 3" ground clearance about as low as practical on the street with rider sag set at about 9/16" and the correct spring preload and compression/rebound settings. More on rider sag: ua-cam.com/video/ZqIiIB_oP1I/v-deo.html . More on compression/rebound: ua-cam.com/video/ZsIcE5GoGvk/v-deo.html Remember, it's better to be too tall, and slowly walk it down in small increments than to slam it right away, break your oil pan, drag bodywork or even crash...
@@BrockDavidsonCan’t believe I’m talking to Mr. Brock himself 🤩😂 but most definitely , I appreciate it sir .. and one last question. I just recently purchased your Alien Head 2 full exhaust system .. a tune and dyno is required correct ?
@Allen Grant - Nice to meet you also! Our exhausts come we free Map Support - click here for more info: bit.ly/3F1vK0N as far as needing a dyno...please check this out: bit.ly/2EJ1zAV
yes!!! love your vids!
Would it be safe to lower the front forks a half inch with out worrying about the taper on the forks
Sure. We have no problems currently.
god thats a gorgeous bike.
17 GSXR1K I lowered my front 2 3/16.
The R version is no problem to lower in the front - the standard will be clamped on the fork taper on the lower tree...not a good idea.
@@BrockDavidson what distance would be the safest? I've been riding this way for about a month or so. No real issues so far and been measuring frequency for slippage. Did a couple low speed stoppies to test it. Dumb yes, but didn't know how else to test it lol
I'm glad you cleared that up about the brakes. Some of these self-proclaimed geniuses that make videos out of their garage and work on bikes in the dirt, don't understand that this is a drag race modification only. These guys will remove one rotor off the front to show off their front wheel but cringe at the thought of taking a little material off the brake pad. That's the kind of secrets that drag racers have pushed the limits on for years to win races. Keep the videos coming. Still waiting on an explanation of how that clutch cushion works. LOL
could you share the name of the
local business that did the seat i have a 2018 gsxr1000r and stand

Mark - we now offer a stepped seat for your bike: brocksperformance.com/custom-pilot-saddle-suzuki-gsx-r1000-17-20/ combine it with our window links, adjustable kickstand and lower your front end bit.ly/3jViT5h to make your own VertKit.
@@BrockDavidson wow thats great thank you very much I ordered the lowering link and kick stand from you yesterday and it's already shiped thanks again sir
Hey Brock! I bought a 2016 GSX-S1000 and want to strap the front down. I called your shop a couple hours ago and the girl that answered said you don’t make the radial brackets for my bike. I told her my bike is based on 2005-2008 GSXR 1000 and she said you guys don’t make them for that either. Can you help?

@@BrockDavidson so This is my second bike moving from a cbr 500 to 2017 Gsxr 600. Will only be street use. I want to lower the rear because I am a short guy. Do you offer something to just lower the rear enough to plant my feat. I’m 5’6
Can't wait to hear from the keyboard warrior's 👍, great series Brock .
i have a situation. I set TC to 3 and riding normally then suddenly TC light goes on and engine mode and tc showin (-) and chec in mentioned.....then what does it mean ?
Check the codes in dealer mode and compare them to your manual - the bike will tell you what it thinks is wrong.
@@BrockDavidson where is dealer mode ?
this error goes itself while riding and come suddenly any time.....
@@hassnanbig you will need to purchase a Genuine Suzuki Service Manual. It will show you how to place the bike in dealer mode to display the codes, then cross-reference the codes with other manual's definitions to determine exactly what the bike thinks is wrong and what needs to happen to repair, so the codes will not return. Or, let you local Suzuki dealer handle.
there is not a code because its just showing CHEC. i have a video of behavior of bike..i want to show you..Please tell me how ?
@@hassnanbig that message is telling you to put the bike in dealer mode to find and define the code...
Hi mr brock where can find the exact seat you have on this bike?
OEM seat cut down (locally) and recovered with black head liner material.
11:40 in a perfect world the swingarm pivot on the centre of the sprocket, but motorcycles can't do that.
My Husqvarna SMR 511 : hold my beer 😎
They can - but it creates larger hassles than it's worth.
@@BrockDavidson that's true, it took me 2 hours just to change the front sprocket but it does made it easier to set the chain's free play espescially on a supermoto/dirtbike like the husqvarna.
Where can I purchase that tail tidy / fender eliminator from ?

i love these videos, but I have to say, that damn bar code scanner for instructions is next level. Why the hell don't other parts do this????
Most don't know how...or can't afford to learn how. It's a hell of a job.
46:25 🤣
How can I get a bike like this important to my country :-)
What size wrenches are you using to tighten the lowering link ?
@Tae Tae - 5/8 and 3/4 open-end wrenches. (Material used is not available in metric sizes) Please remember one side has a left-hand thread - see instructions. LOWER also means direction to LOOSEN the jam nuts.
Brock Davidson thanks well appreciate 💯
Cool tips
How is the throttle play? Is it tight?
Since it's throttle by wire - the tension exists only to make you feel comfortable as a rider. Feels like a perfect pull and release...even if it's only a radial potentiometer.
where did you get that motorcycle lift?

Отличная работа!!!
Was the alien header sitting too low?
The prototype was not low enough - the production version maximizes ground clearance.
@@BrockDavidson thank you for the reply boss . perfect just making sure I don’t wanna dent those nice headers lol going to be putting a order in for my 2024 gsxr 1000
Thats a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD MamaJama!!!!!!!!!!
Man, this episode and this whole series is amazing, but... why the purple beard?
Brock, send me 6 stickers; I need 30 more HP!!!
owwwww that eye looks sore!
Swingarm angles are great to get right, on a TRACK machine designed to enter, settle, and exit corners at the absolute quickest way.
On bikes for drag racing? Throw all that information out the window. haha
@Lifted - pretty much, although there are measurable gains to be noticed, especially in longer swingarm/lower traction applications.
Where did you buy that seat
We had it stepped locally.
@@BrockDavidson could you share the name of the local business i have a 2018 gsxr1000r and stand just 5ft 5in need all the help i can get thank you Sir
They COULD put the pivot point in line with the sprocket, they just don't lol
Would make changing sprockets a real pain. I'm sure there are many other considerations also.
Right and that's probably why they will never do it lol
can i get lowering kit for ktm 390

Cant wait to see those videos and explanation of the changes
What exhaust is that in vid?
CT Megaphone? Was that ever made available for the Kawasaki ZX10R?
Not yet, but it's in process.
@@BrockDavidson Please make it a footpeg mounting bracket, if at all possible to keep the under-seat area clean looking like the new Penta-carbon looks. I am still deciding what exhaust is going to be best for my application. And then, I see this CT Megaphone. 2017 ZX-10RR; Penta-carbon or CT Megaphone?
@@GR8WHITEC5 the CT Meg is delayed due to various issues. Expected delivery is springtime 2022...if that helps.
Great videos and very knowledgeable but brock u are taking business away from shops that do this kind of work to make a living. Just something to think about.
@Future - what I think most about is how telling the same old story and 'hoping' for a different result has resulted in a 90% decrease in sportbike sales over the last 10 years. I personally don't believe that quietly standing back and watching sportbikes die out completely is the best approach and would suggest a similar thought process to any shops that feel like educating the consumer is bad for business. I assure you that having no customers is far worse for business.
Anyone got a link to that Hayabusa bolt?
