The rear end of the KTM can be lowered about 1 1/2" by rotating the rear axle eccentric to bring the axle to the top of the swingarm. The grease nipple disappears round front but this is no worries. Definitely helps in getting the tail lower.

my buddy is making skids for them after the carrier has been rotated, they tuck up in there and you have all kinds of ground clearance then.

Just turn it around, pretty simple really, tried it this weekend, works awesome, seems to take alot of the unwanted roll out of the bike.

how? whaat d i take apart, i'm not all that good with the rear end of any of the bikes i've had. other rear ends though...

 

[bryishre]

you look at it and say hmmmmmmmmm lol take your brake caliper off loosen the 4 bolts that hold the axle from rotatingget a pair of big channel locks on the chain side the silver round thing with notches clamp on it and rotate it keep going till the chain tightens back up then tighten the 4 bolts back up put brake caliper back on and go ride

cowbell to make the front lower just get some C clamps that will set it just right lol just kidding dont do that. had a friend did that to his mustang to lower the car

 

[Bronson90]

nvm guys, it was really easy lol, you just loosen the carrier with the 4 bolts, then use a hook wrench and rotate it down
