HOW DO I LOWER MY SHERCO 50 MOTORCYCLE?

1 - Change the shock absorber of your Sherco 50

This solution is the fastest technically. It is also the best value for money solution and the one that takes the least amount of time. It consists of replacing the existing shock absorber par another shorter model.

There are several different lengths for brand name 50cc motorcycles Sherco. Stock the shock is 295mm. But you can opt for one of the following dimensions: 255mm, 275mm, 285mm or 290mm. they are all available on 50factory. Com.

In order to balance the motorcycle once the shock absorber is installed, it is IMPERATIVE to adjust the height of the fork tubes in the triple trees at the front. If you don't, the bike will be slumped at the rear, the chassis will be less agile and your headlight will not illuminate the road properly! It is therefore necessary to raise these fork tubes by half par compared to the millimeters gained at the rear. Example: if you gain 50mm in the rear, you have to move the tubes up 25mm.

The insert of a gel can fill this concern but the thickness of the saddle will be raised.

But there again it is preferable to go there with a sense of proportion. Because we are touching here on the sacrosanct footrest/saddle/handlebar triangle which determines the riding position, a factor on which the control and pleasure of your machine largely depend. . Also note that the simple fact of thinning the saddle at the level of the crotch makes it possible to have the legs that touch for those where only a few millimeters are missing.

This process does not lead to any modification in the settings and has no impact on the behavior of your Sherco 50.
