Has anyone tried lowering a S3 or any bike for that matter?. I have no problems while riding, it's just abit tall for my stubby legs. A 1/2 in. lower would perfect.

Thanks,

Adjust the forks & the rear shock ride height; you'll need to do both equally.

Consider adjusting the seat for 1/2''. Might be an easy fix as oppose to adjusting suspension travel.

Shaw a post a while back about replacing the rear link on the shock to lower the bike. Couldn't find it. Maybe someone else remembers?
