2010 Yamaha Venture Lowering

[Easeonby]

I just lowered the front of my 2010 Yamaha Royal Star Midnight Venture. I did the procedure of lowering the triple tree on the front forks. I dropped it down 1 inch

and what difference from feeling top heavy to better balanced. Much easier off the kickstand, even with a full tank of fuel. Handling has improved, took it out

up to 70 mph and no issues at all. I want to thank the people who posted this procedure, now I can be flat footed with some bend in my knees, It took me about 2 hours, lots of wiring to disconnect, but not bad at all.

So you will have to look. But I think its a 130 front tire  I went to that also helped with handling

Glad to hear that your lowered front is working out nice for you.  Ride Safe.

I have a 2012 Venture and would love to drop it too. Any advice would be most appreciated.
