Lowering an 87 KDX200 (yes I searched - no help)

1Ton...

Lowering a bike is easy...

First determine how much lower 1" 1.5" etc. Put the bike on a stand stack up some 2x4's under the rear wheel so that they just fit and remove the forward link bolt. Now prop up the rear wheel the distance you want to lower the bike. Measure the distance from the pivot (bolt you removed) to the bolt under the swingarm. Fabricate a new link. You should be able to make one with a hacksaw, drill press and grinder. Longer is lower. ;) Then raise the fork tubes (tubes stick out more from the top triple clamp) to match, although you can only go about 1/2".

or...

You can buy some Kouba Links.
