[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 166887, member: 16552"] [b]Pull rods/ dog bones[/b] I sped red this post...didn't see anything but a question about Devol..so hopefully this isn't old news. Yes, Devol does make a set of pull rods for the KDX. They are adjustable..you can put them in either of three positions by using a hex-shaped insert that has an offcenter hole. It's been awhile since I measured mine, but I believe the adjustment range is +/- 3mm. The stock length is (again, relying on a one brain cell memory) 112.5mm. In the 'middle' position, the Devol rods are close to this length. Installing them in the 'long' position (that would be 114mm), my bike seat lowered 5/16 inch (8mm or so). TAKE NOTE!!! If you use the Devol rods (mine were about $95US) you MUST also use KX bolts. You don't have to use the washers, but I'd advise those, too. The KX bolts ran about $13 each!! I gave Devol an earful about selling a part for a bike with NO mention of 'Won't fit unless you buy more stuff..which we won't mention and you'll have to figure out'. The nice lady on the phone said there was current discussion toward including the required bolts with the rods. Doubt that, though. If I could get a response from 'devolracing', I'd check to see if they've changed their ads. Make sure that's a known issue if you order a set from Devol. Michelle is right. Do try the bike stock. If you're new to the dirt, give yourself some time to get used to it. I'm short of 5'7" (sounds better'n 'just over 5'6") and have short 'lil laigs. At first, I thought, 'I can hardly get the thing kicked over..how am I gonna RIDE it??' Now, same as michelle said..I don't have a problem UNTIL I have a problem that only being REAL tall would help. A few mm here and there wouldn't matter. Enjoy your bike. The KDX is a blast! [/QUOTE]
