Why Lowering My Yamaha XT250 Motorcycle With Soupy's Links Was The Best Modification I've Ever Made.

- In this video I briefly describe how to lower your 2021 Yamaha XT250. Ever Since I lowered my bike I haven't dropped her or "Layed her down". If you cant flat food your bike and have extra space to stand up. I definitely think you should lower your bike. Nice thing about this mod is if you dislike it you can always adjust the height or return to your stock OEM links.
To purchase the links hop on the soupy's Ebay store or order directly from them. Turns out they also sell adjustable height kickstands.

As a short rider 28" inseam... this video was Awesome!
My brother from another Mother! 😉
Thank you good video and explanation of what was done.
I had already ordered the parts before watching this video. I watched the video and installed the parts and an adjustable kickstand in about an hour. I can put both feet flat now I have a 28" inseam. I have a KTM also that is 36" high from the seat to the ground. I am going to see what I can do with that one now. I can tell I probably will not have the clearance and it may bottom out but I am 62 and my jumping and flying high days are over now anyway!
I made my own lowering links non adjustable perfect except the shock is too soft & bottoms out I can't loosen to ajust it so some how I have to take the whole shock off to ajust it.
Thanks for the video. Does your mod change the suspension travel? Seems like it might. Also, I believe it will change the progressive nature of the spring rate. The reason a link suspension is used, as opposed to a straight spring/s, is to provide a progressively stiffer spring as it's compressed, so you bottom out less. The linkage is designed by Yamaha to provide a calculated spring rate and progression. Changing the link length alters the behavior of your suspension. Not saying it's a bad thing, For your weight and riding conditions it may make it better or worse. I don't know enough about how to calculate the exact change that would occur when you do this mod.
It changes everything but I like the new feel
Is it possible to increase the height as well? Or stock height is the maximum you can go?
Can 5’2” person’s feet will touch the floor after adjusting?
Hi, did you readjust the sag on your rear shock? I believe increasing the lower link length over the stock length, reduces the linkage ratio so that your rear sag will increase over the stock recommendation. Also, did the tension on your chain change after installing this?
No Idea to both questions.
So how much lower was it after the mod? You didn't do a tape measure after shot
Was wondering the same
