For anyone else interested, the standard drop link on a 2016 NC750X(applies to 2016-2019 NC750X's) measures 133.50mm centre-to-centre, giving a seat height of 827mm. This is with the forks being dropped in the front yokes by 10mm. Drop links with a measurement of 138.50mm centre-to-centre give a seat height of 819mm, thats 8mm lower than standard. Drive chain freeplay reduces by 7mm. Drop links with a measurement of 141.75mm centre-to-centre give a seat height of 809mm, thats 18mm lower than standard. Drive chain freeplay reduces by 11mm. Lean angle on the sidestand as standard is 8.9 degrees. Lean angle with 138.50mm drop links fitted(8mm lower seat height) is 7.8 degrees. Lean angle with 141.75mm drop links fitted(18mm lower seat height) is 4.1 degrees. This is why you need to shorten the sidestand(anywhere between 10-20mm depending on drop) when you lower the bike as it will be too upright on the side stand and likely to tip over. The 138.50mm drop links lower the rear end by 14mm measured at the rear wheel spindle(seat height drop of 8mm). The 141.75mm drop links lower the rear end by 24mm measured at the rear wheel spindle(seat height drop of 18mm). My chain freeplay as standard was set to 33mm. With the 138.5mm drop links it reduced by 7mm, and 11mm with the 141.75mm drop links, so whenever i adjust the chain i know that i need to reduce to chain up and down measurement of freeplay by these amounts in order to keep it correct. Best thing is set your chain adjustment with your standard drop links fitted to mid limit of 35mm, then fit your lowered drop links and measure the chain freeplay again, now you'll know what to set it to in the future because the standard 30-40mm freeplay measurement won't apply now you fit lowered drop links(it'll be too slack).
Hello. As a manufacturer and distributor of lowering kits for these NC and other bikes. We test thoroughly. can I point out that you only did half the required steps for safely lowering a motorcycle. What you have shown here is dangerous. The front forks need to be lowered though the triple claps about 10-12mm. They way you did this will make the bike unstable under heavy breaking due to not re-aligning the bike’s natural geometry and handling.
The "rake" on the front forks is still at a very good angle, it's not a aggressive change like you see on choppers etc, so I would have to disagree. You can adjust the rear only without adjusting the front but not vice versa. Many company's on Google say the same thing. Thanks for your thoughts and watching the video 👍🍻
That kit states that the bike is lowered by 35mm,thats around 10mm more that the inch you expected. Did you not bring the forks up through the yokes to correct your steering geometry? Kits from 'known' manufacturers such as Lust Racing recommend this,if I am not mistaken,so do Rally Raid. The manufacturer of those links you have there states that fitting them makes the bike steer quicker...not sure how this works as lowering the rear only increases the rake ! to steer faster the rake has to be decreased. I have used various makes of dog bones one different bikes for the same purpose you have from three different manufactures ,and on maybe five bikes and all suggest bringing the forks up through the yokes to compensate for the change in the steering geometr, irrespective of adjusting your preload..no mention of this here. Copied from another source. Rake is the angle in degrees of arc which the headstock of the motorcycle is inclined when compared against a vertical line drawn perpendicular to the ground. The smaller the rake angle, the less effort is required to turn the steering. Though, the motorcycle will be less stable in a straight line. Conversely, a larger rake angle requires more effort to turn but tends to make the motorcycle more stable at high speeds and helps maintain a straight course.
Note the kit I bought I can't get a link for because they sold out so went to the next closest one. Yeap agreed, but no instructions with the dog bones. Steering feels the same to me. When I adjust the preload from level 1 to 3 it made alot of difference so it is now just over a inch drop now. I find it easier and suits me.
Hi i lowered mine with 30mm bones and they say 3-1 just to put gerometrey back.so lowered forks 10mm and shortened stand 15 mm hope this helps aswell.👍
I googled how to lower my bike with dogbones and guess who popped up! You did mate!! What a great video, this has really helped, dog bones ordered!! Video watched...Wish me luck! 😂😂
Thanks my friend for this video. I did this on my Ex- NC750X however because the dealer told me i will never get the geometry right and this will affect the handling if I do it my self (no experience), so I Iet him do it for me against a small payement and the bike felt shorter 2 inches around but the handeling remained exactly the same.
It has nothing to do with the overall height and everything to do with changing the rake and trail of your motorcycle. You have essentially turned your bike into a chopper... I only say this because I lowered my KLR650 1 inch with the dogbones and and raised the forks an inch so the bike is still somewhat symmetrical. The trail (distance in measurement from the top of the fork to your front axel) is the same but the rake (The degrees from the top of fork ) changes. Ride safe! @@exeterrider
Same here, 2008 Vstrom 650. I'm 5'8" / 30" leg and bike is too tall. It'd be no biggie BUT this bike is proportionately Top Heavy - so the tiniest bit of lean angle - at a light, anytime not moving forward, and she wants to topple over. I've had many a street & dirt bike but none with so much weight up high. Love the bike otherwise it's fabulous. I will raise forks to match & "notch" (not shorten) side stand to increase lean angle which was too much 90 degrees from factory anyways.
Fantastic! Another reason to love your channel! It would be great if you could do a follow up video on the pros and cons now that you've had it lowered for some time.
Hi mate I'm also having a 30mm lust racing lowering kit fitted to mine and my question is did you manage ok with the side stand once lowered and did you also need to drop the front forks ? Cheers.
Hi Martin. I didn't need to do anything to the side stand but I did have to adjust the preload on the rear to setting 4 just to tighten it up and give it a bit more resistance. 👍🍻
Very different in the UK no main dealer would of sent a customer away without giving advice for full motorcycle training to have the right licence to ride a motorcycle
Great stuff - I'm gonna have to do this if I buy one of these (just sold the beemer R1100R) and early next year am going to look to replace it - this bike (or 700 depending on budget) or the CB500X are top of the list. Keep the vids coming fella and ride safe. Steve
So to LOWER the seat height you fit LONGER dog bones? I'm bit dense, i assumed SHORTER ones needed? My suzuki bandit tyre is on ground when on centre stand and bike looks too high, I'm 5 10 and balls of feet on ground, want it lower?
Does lowering the bike change the distance between seat and footpegs? Not sure how they change the geometry.. Want to lower mine but I like my leg angle as it is. Good clear video. Thanks
Not really, it's minimul difference, a friend of mine said he thought it handles better. I find it slightly harder to turn the bars at show speed but that's all.
Bought the links from the link you posted. They are listed as being NC750 but they are not. The mounting holes are too big and the links are too long. Put them on and my bike was lowered about 3 inches. I'll be returning them and try to find an alternative to the 60 quid lust ones. Thanks for this video it sorted my issues out by comparing you links to the ones I have. Regards, John from North Tawton.
3 inches! blimey!! I wonder if they sent you the wrong ones? I had to stiffen up the preload a notch but it was that much of a drop. Thanks for letting me know though....maybe that link is for another. Hope you get it sorted soon.

@@exeterrider Here in Brazil, there are several wonderful places like the Oktoberfest in Blumenau - SC and the winter in the land of chocolate in the city of Gramado - RS, both are a little piece of Europe.

Mine wasn't a problem, I wonder if you have different dog bones? My side stand was fine, I did jack up the preload as well.... Maybe that will help, might be worth a try, no issues with mine though. Hope you get it sorted out ok👍

I have a few bikes lowered and one is a CB500x,a 2019 model with the 19" front wheel,previous models have an 18" front wheel. If you have a 19/20 model year you can fit the side stand from the 18 model year..you do have to fit the pivot bolt from the same 18MY as the shoulder is a different length due to the 'fork' on the top of the side stand being thicker. if you dont use the shorter pivot bolt you rick the side stand switch not working and also it leaves a gap on the outside of the 'fork' where dirt etc can get in and maybe bind up around the pin that operates the switch. This change of side stand allows the bike to sit leaned over as it did originally. I also have a big foot on my side stand foot so its even more impotant to correct this lack of lean. Of course,with the stand being steel,you can always cut and shorten the stand at the foot,then weld it back on again. I have a friend with an NC and he just took a grinder to the metal lug on the frame and that allows the sidestand to move in an arc further forward....this again allows the bike to lean further over,it also stops the bike trying to roll forward when parked on a downward slope...

Great video! Lowering my bike was the last thing I needed so I can ride, this really helped!
Lovely to hear that. Thanks 👍😊
When lowering the rear, you should lower the front accordingly. Loosen the steering heads and slide the top of the fork tubes up.
It's not something you have to do. Only if you want to it even lower. I wouldn't want it any lower for to ground clearance 👍
It has nothing to do with the overall height and everything to do with changing the rake and trail of your motorcycle. You have essentially turned your bike into a chopper...
I only say this because I lowered my KLR650 1 inch with the dogbones and and raised the forks an inch so the bike is still somewhat symmetrical.

After lowering the motorcycle, it is necessary to reset the suspension👌it is worth mentioning because the motorcycle loses geometry…
It dosent make alot of difference for the amount this was lowered👍
thanks for that, im just unsure how much longer ones i would need to drop seat around an inch

Nice one, that should work on a CB500X ??
I have a few bikes lowered and one is a CB500x,a 2019 model with the 19" front wheel,previous models have an 18" front wheel.
If you have a 19/20 model year you can fit the side stand from the 18 model year..you do have to fit the pivot bolt from the same 18MY as the shoulder is a different length due to the 'fork' on the top of the side stand being thicker.
if you dont use the shorter pivot bolt you rick the side stand switch not working and also it leaves a gap on the outside of the 'fork' where dirt etc can get in and maybe bind up around the pin that operates the switch.
This change of side stand allows the bike to sit leaned over as it did originally.
I also have a big foot on my side stand foot so its even more impotant to correct this lack of lean.
Of course,with the stand being steel,you can always cut and shorten the stand at the foot,then weld it back on again.
I have a friend with an NC and he just took a grinder to the metal lug on the frame and that allows the sidestand to move in an arc further forward....this again allows the bike to lean further over,it also stops the bike trying to roll forward when parked on a downward slope...
Ignore the earlier incomplete post...was using phone and finger slipped on screen.
