Thank you

You have to jack up in the middle then put another jack in the front wheel, then loosen up those bolts that holds the front fork then slowly jack up the front wheel until you get the desired inch. Mine I dropped it 2 inches so far.

That's interesting. I started a thread a while back about wanting to lower my front fork similar to the Ohlins Black Edition. People have told me that altering the OEM fork height may result in several issues, including instability and speed wobble etc..

Have you had any issues after the drop?

Before I got my bike I asked the dealer if I can lowered it coz I'm a short guy (5'4"), so they advised me not to go more than 2 inches or else it will compromised the frame geometry. So I started to 1 inch then went to 2 inches, just to see the effect and so far I dont see any difference except the gaiter got stress out hope I can find shorter version on it.
