[QUOTE="rollingp, post: 224847, member: 25488"] about 1.5 inches above the bottom mounting hole you cut out 3-5mm of tube than weld the tube back together. Tig weld it. This way all you are doing is rocking the subframe downward. Watch your air box and carb flange if the air box rubs the shock that is not good and you don't want a bind on the flange to carb. I have seen some serious holes worn through the air box between the flange and filter after too much was taken off the sub frame tube. Some guys I know didn't like the lower seat after they cut the sub frame down. They went back to running more sag front and rear and raising the fork tubes in the clamps. I ride a 520 and I am 195 pounds 5.8 open A mx and I have last years pds spring on the shock which is revalved for more high speed comp and rebound. The forks are stock valving with the air camber at 140mm and 1.5 turns out from 0 preload. 12 on comp and 14 on rebound . For me the bike settles good and I can hold it up. If the seat is too low towards the back or the sag is unbalanced from the front than as you probably know the bike will not turn as good. I am on my 5th ktm since 98 and I get a new one every year. We have a track here on our property that has everything on it and we have done just about everything conceivable to the KTMs from the minis to the big bores. Suspension wise. Mike weisner who was a factory KTM wrench for Kelly Smith has shed allot or light on the PDS system and made my shocks work better than the guys that charged me an arm and a leg. You really should be able to get your feet on the ground with set up before cutting your subframe. [/QUOTE]
