Default Lowering kits

Hi folks

As far as I know my bike has had the zx10 rear shock mod, it is defiantly a Kawasaki set up…. this appears to have jacked the rear end up some. Is this a common issue with this mod? I would prefer a more neutral set up and have tried bringing the rear end down a little by adjusting the shock but would prefer another option if possible…such as dog bones, any ideas?

Monki

No ZX10R shock will (if anything) will lower the ride height a small amount. If the rear has been jacked up then that is most likely by shorter dog-bones. However, first of all check that the forks have not been dropped in the yokes and that makes it feel like the rear is jacked up.
