My goal was 1" lower, which I got with the 130mm link. Maybe I'm just not used to it.
I also changed the rear spring to a Racetech and set the sag at 1", before the longer link.
I mainly ride off road. Thx for the compliment, I'm a mechanical designer.
Only an inch? That's nothing. You should be fine. Unsprung, the rear of my chassis is 4 inches lower and even more when I'm sitting on it.
Adjusting the more powerful spring should easily be able to compensate for the increased leverage of the longer link. Ride it around and you'll get used to it.
You've done some nice work. I just picked up a '22 model and want to do some upgrades. First the suspension, I'm 240lbs so it's to soft stock. What rate spring did you go with? Also did the FMF slip on have the O2 sensor bung? I looked at the Q4 S/A Hex model but it doesn't show or mention the sensor mount.
It fits so well, you can hardly tell the difference except it's all black instead of sliver.
It has NO emissions hoses on the bottom, so I got rid of a tangle of 3 hoses. That little one way valve on the cap hose works great. It allows air to enter the tank as fuel is used and allows air to slowly escape to allow for fuel heat expansion. And if the bike tips over it closes completely to prevent any fuel spillage.

Sorry, it's been a while... Racetech has an online calculator that tells you what springs to go with. I bought the front and rear springs.
The FMF doesn't have a bung for the sensor and there is a connector that plugs into your stock connector to block it off.
FYI.... the springs make the bike tall. I'm 5'10" and it's a stretch. Hope this helps!!
I visited the Race Tech and used the calculator. It said I needed a spring heavier than they offered. I bought the 6.4 kg/mm spring and I'll install it this weekend. I'll deal with the fork springs later because I need to fix the rear sag first. I'm 6'2" so seat height isn't an issue. I found a place that makes an O2 sensor delete so I found a fix.
Thanks.
It totally blends in with the rest of the bike, and eliminates ALL of the emissions hoses, as it only has ONE hose fitting on the bottom from the fuel pump to the injector on the throttle body.

i put the acerbis locking gas cap on my ims 3.0 tank i just got last week. Working perfect for venting and and a key in it
