How can i lower the seat height of my KX 250 without buying new suspension? I need to lower the seat about 2-3 inches. Thanks in advance for any information!

Take off your sub frame and get a punch you need to loosen the lock collar's. keep the rear wheel off the ground. When you do this do 16 or so turn's of top collar and then bring the second one up. Then make the two tight. Turn the bottom one into the top. Then turn the spring and let the bike down the rear will sit lower. Keep doing this and then you need to move the fork's up. get the front wheel off the ground then loosen the pinch bolt's and slide the fork's up to compensate for the rear. Then tighten the pinch bolt's.
Good luck,

My question to you is, why do you want to lower the seat hight?
If you just want to get your feet to the ground, try removing some of the seat foam. I know that a KX dosen't have a lot to begin with. But you will be suprised what removing an inch or so will do. I wouldn't remove 3". try a little at a time. It may be all you need. And it won't cost you a dime. Just a little of your time.
