DIY fitting of a Rally Raid Products 525 lowering link on a 2020 KTM 690 enduro. This lowers the rear of the bike by 25mm, Rally Raid recommend you lower the forks by 20mm to retain the same geometry of the bike. A fairly easy install for home DIY mechanic

Thanks I’m going to put my 690 back to stick so this is very helpful. Only thing I don’t have is a wooden plank so might need to get something.

Peter, thanks for the upload. I have been thinking about lowering my 690 solely to fix the inconvenience of approaching road junctions and getting on and off the bike. What Is the name if the product you purchased?

@gnarlybadger690 2 жыл бұрын

It was from Rally Raid Products in the UK

Hi Peter, great video, thanks for sharing 👍 May I ask how tall you are please? Thanks, John

@gnarlybadger690 Жыл бұрын

I'm 5' 7" or 1:73m and I'm comfortable with at least one foot flat on the floor at the road junctions and in traffic on the trail it is perfect for me

Nice. Did u have to get some bar raisers to lower the forks?

@gnarlybadger690 2 жыл бұрын

No not needed for the 20mm drop

@penrypooch3037 Жыл бұрын

Excellent cheers. Can I'm torn between the 25 and 40 mm dropped links rally raid do. I have a 29 inch inside leg is this shorter than yours? Also How much did you drop front forks by?

@gnarlybadger690 Жыл бұрын

Hi the drop on the forks I did was the same as the link drop 25mm in total the forks had a small 5mm drop when I brought the bike, the geometry has stayed the same and the bike felt no different other than the lower seat height which as helped me no end

Nicely done! Do you know if this kit would fit the 2021 model too? On the RR site is presented for 2019-2020. Also, I know that the original link has 4 needle bearings. Does the RR link have 4 bearings or only 2?

@gnarlybadger690 2 жыл бұрын

TBH I would give RR a ring there's always someone there during the week that could better answer that question again with the bearings I did notice that the bearings in the RR link looked to cover more area inside the link they also felt smoother than the standard bearings but they were new the KTM link Had covered 7,000 miles

No I didn't have to, been using for a while now with no problems

@johntractor9799 8 ай бұрын

How does it affect the stand? Does if make the bike stand up too straight, like its not leaning on it enough?

@gnarlybadger690 8 ай бұрын

It doesn't seem to have made the side stand any less effective, I thought it may have made the bike stand more upright but I haven't had any issues at all

@bradsanders6954 2 ай бұрын

Guys told me they put a side stand off a 690 Super Moto on their 690 Enduro, so thats what Im doing. To me the stock 690R enduro sidestand almost stands the bike up too straight. If I get on with the sidestand down there is no way to get the sidestand up. With out getting back off the bike again. So Im trying the shorter super moto sidestand, found one used on ebay.

@gnarlybadger690 2 жыл бұрын

No it didn’t affect the handling at all the slight drop with the fork kept the factory geometry settings and I could feel no difference in the handling of the bike prior to fitting the link
