How to lower klr650 seat height Videos

Cool. So I just got a KLR and I am getting the Lowering links installed today. That should Lower the bike 2". If I get the seat shaved at another two inches that would be 4" off stock's 35", leaving me at 31" which can easily accomodate my 5'6" 29" in seam. Tell me, is the seat comfortable after the alteration? Thanx!

Your New KLR seat hight is Perfect... Has the Lowerd postion effected your Geometry to the point its bothersome??? How does the seat feel compaired to Stock??? I'm also considerd the DOG BONES and lowering of the front Shocks as a fix...

I was a little worried if I would feel the frame of the seat through the little foam material left but I don't at all. I weigh about 210 lbs but it's still comfortable. I would do it again for sure.

Believe it or not only $40. It is was a legit shop too. I like doing stuff myself but for that price it was worth getting it done professionally.

Wow , i am 5'8" . I stand no hope !

How much did he charge you?

6'1" but with short legs.

how tall are you ?

+Lilox Luv I have never had the opportunity, but I'd like to try. Thanks for the tip.

Lol...'pros' .

I did. I sold my jetta

+DaveKublersVideos thanks, i really appreciate your help

you can not buy foam that is appropriate for seats in a spray can. get the foam here :   foamfactory.com     use 1" Rebond as bottom layer and shape it to contour to you., and use 1-2" hd-lux poly as the top layer.  

hard to say, it does require some yanking and good stapling technique... my first seat had 'pleats' to accommodate the bunching you speak of.  However, perhaps you should try starting your stapling with the front of seat , just a few staples to hold it...then go to the back (the longest span)...and REALLY stretch it that way and then staple it.   From there, you really want to work your staples first top right a few. then bottom left, then top left, then botttom right....keep going meticulously, making sure you pull super tight on each one, but only do a little bit (inch or so) before going to the next section. Sometimes it is handy to make sure you dont have too much extra vinyl , so trim it tight enough that you just have some to pull on, and dont leave a bunch underneath that you have to negotiate.i have even used pliers with a dish towel wrapped so not to mar....to pull it tight... I have done a few...and have managed to get it down to not have any bunching visible.    hope this made sense...and helped !  good luck

that seat is incredibly comfortable...much better then Sargent and others.   I wound up putting over 20K miles on that seat....now I have sold the bike, and bought a KTM 690 Enduro....thanks for watching!

+Xahid Hasan What did you do? I'd say go ahead and buy it. It's not a very tall bike, and once you get used to it, you will be comfortable balancing it on one leg. Plus, since it's a sports bike you will be mostly on pavements where surface is mostly level :)

+Scott Sendelweck R6 its already low. I am 5.7, I am riding YZF600R little taller than R6

im 5.4  and i have an r6 you would do just fine.

@deleter220 just a m/c jacket and m/c pants and I never leave my helmet!!! my jacket and pants have Armour knees hips elbows shoulders, back

Fairplay Tom nice bit of research to help out another biker in distress....well done.

love the brick road ***** for your reasearch for LJ

wow you have crazy amounts of snow left

Your doin good there for LJ.

we had like 48" total!!!

Thank you so much for this video! i just bought a new 250f and im a shorter person. Im planning on getting a seat and chaving it down and adding a bump. For grip and Control that i can reach

Nice but i have one problem and that is I got a new seat cover and when I try to staple it the staples in the back of the seat almost come trough so do you know if shorter will do?

YES! THANK GOD MAN!! I've been looking for one of these videos for about 2-3 years! Thank god Johnny, my old account was UnitFmX11 and this is my new account.

Dude no offense but you talk way to much, like fuck I was bored out of my mind. You literally spent 1 minute talking about what pen/marker to use....

im 5 ft 4 and ride a rmz450 stock , u guys just stop moaning and just get on with the riding . if ur 5 ft 5 and struggle riding just stop lol

i cant think that 5 5 would be a problem to ride a bike ? asians are all smaller and they have no problem in doing so ? 5`5 isnt that small

Should I buy an OEM seat or a Techno Grip Seat? I want to avoid ruining the stock seat. Thanks for the video by the way, very helpful.

@Johnnysshop yah thats whAt I done to fix it up where I hit the plasic, Looks good now, shaved seat imo feels and handles alot better

@hondayamahadirtbiker Maybe. Just shave a little at a time and sit on it to make sure it's not getting to stiff for your booty..

You can also lower the bike's suspension. I'm in the same position, I'm 5'5 and looking into buying a 250 lol

Just shaved down my seat damn I need an electric or air powered stapler the plastic is pretty hard.

Im using the factory Yamaha Plastic and it tough! Bending the Staples, Maybe the Stapler is Crap

lone the channel i have a blaster same year and a yz250f i was destin to watch you vids ahaha

haha im only two inches taller on the same bike. Its a bitch ! thats why im going to do this

i wonder if you could just put some holes in the seat so it sinks more when you sit on it

@djsm1th Yeah, that's why I left a little bit of lip there. So my butt won't slide off!

@hondayamahadirtbiker If you're wanting to shave it, I would get the Techno. OEM is $

I had the same graphics but they had to go cause I hated that they turned yellow

LOL.. I have a habit of saying that. I guess I just don't know what else to say!

what else can i do as a short 5'5" rider i am not getting taller either lol

@bozillakilla Oh yeah, that would blow.. Luckily I don't have mine cut.

@DWOODY12 Yeah, you can always glue back on but I just hate doing it...

Ya mine turned really yellow considering I took the gas out Wen it sat

Shouldn't need an electric one but they can be kinda hard to staple.

hahaha and your not a pro thats awsome man looks like a factory seat

@bozillakilla Didn't have any down there, just all over the frame..

Always enjoy the bike videos! bring on the yz125cc 2 stroke! :D

Awesome been waiting along time for you to do this. Thanks buddy

Get used to it look at James Stewart hes fine rollin on a 450f
