Sooo.... After deciding to return Yang to its factory height I figured I would take advantage of the opportunity to tune things up, get the various adjustments done, and maybe do a little upgrade here and there. This involves going to a different rear spring, setting the ride height, the preload (set for loaded), and doing a couple of things with the front while it's disassembled. Removal and replacement of the rear shock assemble came first. Returning the DR to original ride height involved flipping the spring perch, and remounting in a different bolt location. I set the height and preload and will no doubt be readjusting a couple of more times. Of note, the preload wrench for the Ninja works great on the preload rings on the DR.

I ordered a couple of parts for this so reassembly will be another day or so, but here is the disassembly (pretty easy stuff).

#DR #yang#shock #suspension #DR650 Just over 2 hours start to finish working by myself. While at it I set ride height where I wanted, adjusted the preload, and also did some tuning on the front and put in new spacers for height/preload. Will need to buy/fabricate a longer sidestand (maybe, we'll see). It's now a good 1 1/2 (maybe a little more) taller with MUCH better feel.
