Thank You for posting this video. I have the same Tiger 900 gt pro (2023 same color), I'm 5'5" 28 ish inseam and I'm fine alone on the bike, but when i carry a passenger (wife), it was a bit much for me at times when stopping on uneven ground etc. I ordered the links from Lust Racing got here in about a week (USA) - the bike is so much easier to handle in traffic with pillion. In fact I'm able to plant both feet flat on the ground, it's great, no issues in the twisties either. Thanks again - great video.
Great video, thank you! I have a 2023 GT Pro, blue, just like yours. I really love the bike and have already put nearly 8k miles on it doing some long rides. But, I regret not buying the "low" version and I'm going to do the mod you described here. Thanks again for posting this!
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video and found it useful. I love mine being lowered, so much more confidence inspiring. I’ve used it on some rather spirited runs with no issues whatsoever. Good luck with your modifications 🏍️👍
Thank you for the video. I plan to purchase the tiger 900 gt pro this year. Currently I ride a BMW R1200 RT LC, wonderful machine, but it is starting to become too heavy (in weight) when maneuvering and shunting (packed 300 kg +). Seems like a good idea to have the tiger lowered right away, I'm 5 foot 8 tall and your video has been a great help in getting an idea of how much I need to lower the machine! Thank you.
Thank you Rob, great to hear that you enjoyed my video and found it helpful. I’m also 5 foot 8 tall and the bike now fits me perfectly. The GT Pro is a fabulous bike, take a test ride and find out for yourself 👍
@@tigerness5555 111 / 5.000 Thanks for the response, as soon as the weather gets better I'll definitely take a test drive. Greetings from the Netherlands!
Great thanks - good to know there is a kit available and that its straightforward to fit. Im considering the 900 GT Pro and didn't want to go down the low seat option for the reason you highlighted.
Thanks for a very informative video. I have a BMW F900XR which is just a wee bit too tall for me. Will have to speak to my local mechanic to see if the same can be done on it 👍
Great video mate and it has helped me a lot. I have the same bike and am of a similar size to your good self. I will be vertically be doing the same thing as you have, thanks so much. Tom
Hi Tom Great to hear that you found my video useful, it’s comments like this that make running the channel worthwhile. Lowering my bike and being able to put both feet firmly onto the ground has transformed my Tiger. Cheers Tiger Ness
I love the way you think. I would have a guess you are from an engineering background. You think your way through every problem, if you can even call them problems with this type of thinking. Always a pleasure to watch on any topic.
I have had my GT Pro 900 lowered like yours and I am very pleased with it. I did notice that the mechanic who did the job brought the front forks up 20 mm, do you this this would will make any difference.
Hi Thomas, great to hear that you enjoyed my video and found it useful 👍 I brought my fork tubes up by 10mm which works for me and balances the bike suspension perfectly. I don’t suppose setting it to,20mm will make much difference, at the end of the day it’s how you like it and how it performs. Did your also change the side stand for one from the low ride height GT?
@@tigerness5555 Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate your view. I did change the side stand also and was able to keep the centre stand which is great. Thanks to your video I have saved myself a lot of cash as I was actually thinking of changing the bike for a GT Low, now there is no need, thanks once again.
Hi, just recently found your channel as I bought the GT Pro last year, I’m 5’7” 29” leg & after a few weeks ownership I had a low impact drop due to a camber in the road ( it only kissed a dry stone wall) & the top crash bars saved the tank. However I wasn’t aware of this lowering kit till now but what I did was bought the low seat which I have to say is more comfortable than the original 1. But having changed it felt a bit miffed that I didn’t have the heated seat benefit, until I found a CZcams channel called 3ft Deep & their video is called Cold Best Comfort where they install a heated seat pad & plug connector which utilises the bikes built in system. I have to say it works flawlessly, I might also consider doing what you have done. Thanks for sharing…Les
Hi Les Thanks for this information, I looked it up on CZcams. Really interesting, I didn’t know that this was possible. That said, the price for the lowering links and the low side stand was still less than the cost of a low seat and that’s before buying the heated pad. Great to hear that you’re now happy with your bike. Cheers Tiger Ness
@@tigerness5555 Hi, yes I appreciate that the seat costs more, the total cost to make the seat a heated 1 was £25 which I am glad I did but I also like the idea of what you have done.
I know where you’re coming from, that’s exactly why I lowered my bike. I like to have my feet firmly planted on the ground. Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful 👍
Thanks for the info you have already given me. When you say that I don’t need to remove the front wheel to move the front forks up by 10mm, does that mean that I loosed off the securing bolts on both forks simultaneously? Thanks again
Hi Thomas With the front wheel still fitted and with the bike on the side or centre stand, if you were too slacken all 8 pinch bolts on the top and bottom yokes then there is a chance that the weight of the bike would allow the front of the bike to drop right down. This is NOT what you would want to happen. By slackening only the 4 pinch bolts on the left side first, then the right and side which has not been slackened, will fully support the weight of the bike and the front won’t drop. This will then allow you to twist the left leg upwards by 10mm and then tighten the 4 pinch bolts to 25Nm. You would then do the same on the other leg. Note: this is a major suspension component and if you’re unsure in any way as to how to complete this job you would be advised not to attempt it. Your safety is paramount. Hope this helps. TN 👍
Thanks Marc, it was well worth doing, the bike now fits me perfectly. Triumph do a low ride height version but only in the GT and not the GT Pro. It doesn’t have the electronic suspension, heated seats, quick shifter, back lit switchgear etc. Really looking forward to using it this year. 👍
Great video and info as I have been looking at gt low being a bit vertically challenged at 5’4” inside leg of 29” l thought my bike options were limited to cruisers or my be a street twin style? But Always liked the look of the adventure bikes and the tigers but thought they were out of my reach but after a bit of research found that the Gt low was Maybe a possibility? Anyway long story short by chance I sat on a Gt pro with the seat on the lowest position and found I could get half a foot down so next thing was a test ride and my mind was made up as am now in the market for a Gt pro but will be fitting the lowering links which seems a strait forward job so thanks again and keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for your reply and yes they certainly seem to be a cracking bike by all the reviews and also very sort after as each time I enquire about 1 it’s already sold 😮 but part of the problem is am after a red or blue 1 as yours and the blue models seem to be the newer bikes a little bit out my price range but something will come along have got a few months before summer 🤞.

Hi Mark, great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 The dog bones are from Lust Racing and they are 30mm lowering. I dropped the front fork legs by 10mm. This setup works very well for me, very happy with it.
Hi, sorry if you have already answered this, but what is the OEM number of the GT Low side stand? Great video by the way. I bet you'd have had loads of views if you had made one doing the job. I've just bought the Lust Racing links as the extra bit of height reduction gives so much confidence especially on adverse cambers.. Just need the info re the side stand👍

Really useful video and ill be buying a GT PRO for my 29” leg having watched this. Just one question? Does lowering the bike this way affect the electronic suspension?
Hi Andy, lowering the suspension doesn’t affect the electronic in any way. I also fitted a new side stand from the GT Low version which makes a big difference, the bike is way too upright without it. I didn’t go for the GT Low version as I wanted all the benefits of the GT Pro, I made the right decision 😁 It’s great to hear that you enjoyed my video and found it useful, enjoy your GT Pro👍
Hi Alun, great to hear that you enjoyed my video 👍 No, I’ve not had any problems with underside touching the hugger. I frequently ride with the electronic suspension set at its lowest and the damping on the most comfortable, this setting would be when it’s most likely to make contact and so far it never has.
Hi Alun, an update to my previous message. I was cleaning the bike this afternoon and noticed that there has indeed been some contact marks on the hugger. There is a mark on the flat section close to the rear suspension unit, it looks like the black plastic section containing the battery has made contact. It doesn’t look like it’ll be a problem, I’ll monitor the issue. Thanks for asking the question, it made me take a closer look 🥺
According to Royal Enfield the standard seat height is 805mm This is from Hitchcocks website. The Low Ride seat offers an 32 mm reduction in height and utilizes 3D net technology to evenly distribute weight for enhanced comfort over long rides. It comes with a Royal Enfield tag and is styled the same as the OE seat. Great to hear that you enjoyed my video and hopefully found it useful 👍
First thanks for some great advice from all your videos I ordered the lust kit know problem. I’m having a problem finding the Triumph side stand I have the same bike as yours 2022 GT Pro Do you know the part # you used I tried to look up the Gt low and all I can find is aftermarket adjustable one Thanks

I visited my Triumph dealers today and asked them if they would lower my bike as you have using Rust Racing lowering links but they said that they had issues with doing so, something about having to be lowered forks by 16mm?, is it just Triumph being awkward. Obviously you did the work yourself, did you have to remove the front wheel. Any advice will be great fully received.
Hi Thomas It’s an easy job to do yourself as long as you’re fairly competent at working on the bike. You DO NOT have to remove the front wheel. Do one fork leg at a time. Slacken the top and bottom pinch bolts of the side you’re working on. You can then turn the fork leg back and forward and move it upwards by 10mm. It’s a bit tight but that’s how I did mine. Make sure the Marzocchi label is still in the correct place. Tighten the pinch bolts to 25mm. Repeat on the other side. If you can’t move the fork leg the full 10mm, then tighten the bolts and move the other side. Then return to the first leg and it should then move to the full 10mm. Hope this helps 👍
Thanks for doing this. Do you have the Triumph part number for the shorter sidestand? I bought the lower seat for my Rally Pro and it has made a huge difference to have my heels down in a hilly place like where I live.
The short side stand is from the GT Low Ride Height model, the part number is T2087158 www.bike-parts-triumph.com/triumph-motorcycle/Tiger/900/tiger-900-gt/SIDESTAND/122/10011519527/0/122
does the GT LOW have same features of the GT Pro ? tpms, quick shifter; temperatures, cruise control ? Will thailand have all models ? , why lower the suspension if there is Lo seat options
Hope you enjoyed my video and hopefully found it useful 👍 No, the GT Low does not have the same features. The big differences that the GT Pro has are the electronically adjustable rear suspension, heated seats, fog lights, quick shifter etc. The low seat still isn’t low enough for me.
The links on my bike are made by Lust Racing and lower the bike by 30mm This is a link to their website, hope this answers your question. shop.lustracing.com/products/triumph-tiger-900-gt-lowering-kit

Just got a GT Pro myself and thinking of lowering, just as I did with my XCX in 2015. Do you experience a noise from the centre stand on the left hand side when going over bumps or minor potholes?, not related to the lowering of course.
Thanks for the info 👍 I’d have to look out the information I got with the Lust links but I’m pretty sure I set my bike up as per the instructions. Anyway what’s 5mm between friends, my bike handles great in my opinion. Hope you enjoyed the video 👍😁

No problems at all at any speed. I did the same modification to my old Tiger 800 and didn’t have any issues with that bike either. I’m very happy with my bike setup 👍
Hi, do the suspension settings reset when you turn the bike off? I’ve heard this is the case , which kinda makes me want to just go for the GT version …
No the suspension settings stay the same when you switch of and turn back on. It would be terrible having to go into the suspension settings for every start up. Hope you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
I’m no expert and don’t claim to be one. There are certain parts on a bike that I will not make videos about, these are the areas where safety is of the uppermost importance. I have no desire to show someone how to modify suspension which may result, in that person not doing the job properly and potentially causing a serious accident. There are many people with varying levels of skill who watch CZcams videos where someone makes something look simple and then attempt to do the job themselves. In this video, I’ve just tried to show what can be done. It’s up to the individual to determine if they have relevant competence or not. I mentioned in the video that the links were purchased from Lust Racing, with a simple search on Google you will find the relevant item. Hope you enjoyed the video and found it useful 👍

I’d have to look out the information I got with the Lust links but I’m pretty sure I set my bike up as per the instructions.
Anyway what’s 5mm between friends, my bike handles great in my opinion.
Hope you enjoyed the video 👍😁

hello, with lowering the front forks, did you notice anything off when getting up to high speeds? wobbles? more vibration?
No problems at all at any speed. I did the same modification to my old Tiger 800 and didn’t have any issues with that bike either.
I’m very happy with my bike setup 👍
Hi, do the suspension settings reset when you turn the bike off? I’ve heard this is the case , which kinda makes me want to just go for the GT version …
No the suspension settings stay the same when you switch of and turn back on.
It would be terrible having to go into the suspension settings for every start up.
Hope you enjoyed the video 🏍️👍
I would be interested to know your inside leg measurement........purely for educational reasons! I'm 28-29 inches and I struggle on some bikes.
I have a 29 to 30 inch inside leg and im 5’ 8” tall. The bike now fits me perfectly.
Hope this helps and you enjoyed my video 👍
Yeah... wouldn't it have been a great idea to SHOW how to lower the bike? Or even a link to the "dog bones"...
I’m no expert and don’t claim to be one. There are certain parts on a bike that I will not make videos about, these are the areas where safety is of the uppermost importance. I have no desire to show someone how to modify suspension which may result, in that person not doing the job properly and potentially causing a serious accident. There are many people with varying levels of skill who watch CZcams videos where someone makes something look simple and then attempt to do the job themselves.
In this video, I’ve just tried to show what can be done. It’s up to the individual to determine if they have relevant competence or not.
I mentioned in the video that the links were purchased from Lust Racing, with a simple search on Google you will find the relevant item.
Hope you enjoyed the video and found it useful 👍
Nice job.
Great to hear that you enjoyed my video 🏍️👍
Do you have the side stand part #
This is the side stand from the low ride height version that I now have on my 900 GT Pro, hope this helps.

@@tigerness5555 thx
can i ask how tall you are?
Hi Ergin, I’m 5ft 8inch tall with 29inch inside leg measurement. As standard the bike was ok but for me lowering it has made it much more confidence inspiring. Hope you enjoyed my video and found it useful 👍
