Lowering options?

I have now got a K5 SV.

Just want a few options on lowering it as I kind of fell off the learning bike on the way home from the module 1 test today.
I stopped at a roundabout and the road didnt seem to be anywhere under my foot when I put it down #-o

Now I am worried that this will happen on the SV when I finally get to ride it.

Any advice is more than welcome.

Cheers :)

Re: Lowering kits

get the seat cut out

don't lower the bike using dog bones as this is the wrong way to go about it, it upsets the suspension and ride of the bike

You can lower the front around 10mm on Curvys by pulling the forks up through the yokes. Not sure about pointys though. When I did it on mine it also improved the handling. Avoid lowering the back end if you can

Re: Lowering kits

So how do I go about cutting the seat down or should I take it and get it done by a prof?

Re: Lowering options?

you could buy another one and try it on that at least if u fack up you have another one, also then you could have a normal one when you sell the bike if you dont bugger the other one up
