I'm having this 'good time' with my kickstand/sidestand right now. One hex bolt stripped. Either overtorqued and threadlocked to hell. No damn way to get off!

This was super helpful and very detailed, thanks for the video man! Just lowered my R7 and it was very straight forward after watching this. I do want to note, before installing the bearings onto the lowering link you'll have to install the bushings from the stock link, i think you had a bit of play/wobble when you installed the lowering link because the bushings were not placed on the lowering link. The bushings make it nice and snug. I'm sure it'll be fine without them, but i just wanted to throw that out for anyone else watching this as a guide. Thanks again!

Love the quality video going into depth with the torque specs and showing how the proper measurements of lowering, only thing I did different was before unclamping the handles I got tipex an marked where the handles sit before removal helped with even steer an also a quick wipe with detailer tipex gone like white board marker. Used long 3/8 ratchet with extension an swivel socket to get into the bolts, used some anti-seize on each bolt so next rider won’t have any problems unbolting 😎 ohh the R7 for anyone reading probably best beginner bike if you have dough to splash an have in mind you will have a fall depending on how you are as a biker and other road users. the hp an unbalanced firing order gives the rider friendly pull from Stand still also traffic situations won’t need to worry about to much jerk from the bike as it’s smooth taking off compared to other similar sized bikes. Stay awesome guys and keep life juicy😎

You legit have skills... Good video bro.

My girlfriend is 4 11. She could ride a ninja 650 which had a 31.1 inch stock seat. And she lowered it about 2 inches and she was on her toes but comfortable. I was hoping to lower the r7 more then 2 inches because that would only be 30.9. We don't track it. But would it be helpful and practical to get the second lowering kit that you did not put on your r7? To maybe lower it 3 in? And also maybe a lower profile tires might help as well? One more thing. I heard about lowering the front fork suspension but by lessening the fork oil and there was hardware as well which made it lower in the front. Thank you!

Don't mean to bust your balls but if whoever is riding that bike come down hard from a wheelie those clip on barends will brake off from not being clamped properly. Also that front-end is going to be so unstable with the forks being dropped that far. He needs a steering stabilizer for sure. Can't remember what the measurements is for sport bikes. On dirt bikes you only can drop it 5mm.

All pegs are the same length. What you want are adjustable rearsets so that you can raise the pegs farther off the ground. If you lean aggressively you’ll risk scraping the pegs the more you lower the bike

I've installed the Trex lowering link and it lowered it too much, next I installed Soupy's Lowering Link and even at it's lowest setting, still dropped too much, also was a pain to adjust, have to make sure equal turns. Ended up with Extreme Creations lowering link, good price and easy to adjust without removing anything but a bolt. Has stock stock, -25mm, +25mm, and -35mm settings. Order it with a bearing installed, makes install go a lot faster. The -25mm will lower it an inch. Even though it's says stock, stock actually makes it lower by 1/2 inch.

Well the r7 is almost an inch lower than the r6 (2017-2020 model)so you might be fine if you was able to handle the r6, lowering by 1 inch will have minimal effect on the handling more than 2 inch will be noticeable especially when cornering, might drag pegs or worse a foot, seen a guy catch his foot mid corner and throw his leg off on a lowered bike, almost high sided but saved it, he wasn't use to keeping his toes on the pegs rather then letting his feet hang down.
