2002 ZX6R - Need to lower seat height if possible. An inch or 2 would be perfect. How do I do that?

Compare seat height to stock bike. If seat height is the same then bike suspension must be lowered.

Your bike has a mono shock. It does have adjustments but it is for ride stiffness not necessarily ride height. But adjusting the rear shock will lower and or raise the seat a small amount. But at the lowest setting the seat height is still 792mm or 31.2 inchs. You may find a shorter shock but it would have to be from a parts search to match.

you can lower the seat height by adjusting the rear shock preload decreased the pre load and it will lower the seat height atleast by an inch or two...

you can do this with shorter shocks or you can have the seat custimized if you cut foam off hieght of seat and you will not have to lower the bike it maybe cheaper to do the seat

Only two ways you can acheive this. the first is to have your rear suspension modified, or lowered by about an inch should do it. This job would most likely have to be done at a mechanics shop. But is possible.
The second solution, involves lowering your seat height, by cutting about an inch or so of foam off the top of the seat. This job is also best done by an upholsterer, but is a possible aternative to lowering the suspension, get your seat chopped down.

best way is to take your cover off your seat and shave it down about 2-3 inches...then put some memory foam in it and recover...its more comfortable and it will lower your seat height.

depending how much you want to adjust ,if you need it lowering a bit you could see if you can cut some foam out the seat you just use a electric carving knive

hi colin

you may use a neat lowering link for Duke like the one in the picture below.

Else:

trimming the seat will be applicable.

regards,

you could try a little bit smaller rear tire. cheaper than the shocks maybe
