Default Has my bike been lowered?

I just got this 2012 model used. I have a 32” inseam and I can flat foot the ground with both feet. Does this link look stock?

You might check over on adv forum in the KLX250 Long Term thread. I recall someone over there asked the same question. Person responding posted a picture of the link with the numbers and also a micrometer confirming the measurement.
hope this helps

I just lowered my 2014, and that dog bone looks exactly like the ones I took off and put the Kouba link on. But then I have a 29" inseam and I don't like having to tippy toe. My guess (although new to the KLX250 scene and therefore not educated) is that it is the stock height.

Is it a stock shock? Could have had the shock itself adjusted. I was going to have this done to mine but decided to leave it stock.

I can only speak to the links, and just installed those same ones on my 2007 to get it back to stock height. They came off a 2015 (thanks gorgeguy). Raised the bike about 1.5" from the lowering links that were on it when purchased.

Stock links for 2009+ are those you have @119.5mm
Earlier models used 117mm dog bones

Thanks, good to know. Anyone know the ratio of how much each mm in bar length adds to the bike height?
