I did search first, but I still fear this question has been answered before...

Just purchased an '09 R6r.
Previous owner lowered the forks and I want to make sure the rear shock linkage was not also lowered.
Does anyone know (or can quickly measure) the length of the stock dog bones?

Part # 12 below for reference. BikeBandit has it vaguely listed as "Arm 1" :lmao

Thanks in advance!

Bump. Just a rough ballpark would be nice. Need to know what I've gotta undo from the previous owner. Appreciate the help!

Just to button up this thread (and in case anyone else comes across this), I received a PM from another member stating "the shock linkage should be 6.5 inches from middle of the hole to another. For the OEM."

Thank you to JarvisB for the info!

Resurrecting this thread!
The 2012 R6 I bought has PSR links on it. My assumption is it was lowered (bought it from a short girl) and she said her now ex fiance did it. While I have not taken them off the bike yet because I'm waiting for a shock, the length is damn close to stock. It's hard to measure accurately in there. From what I can dig up the OEM link part number is the same for 09-up.
My questions:
Are lowering links only fractionally different in length to attain a 1-2" drop in ride height?
What is the OEM length eye to eye? The 6.5" listed in this thread is not what I am measuring on the used stock ones I bought.

Bump. Anyone?

The set I have measure 5 3/4" from the inner edge of each eye hole. I bought them from a member on here, though.

Sweet! Thank you! I didn't cross back to your year but probably the same.
So I guess that a 0.25" difference in link length makes a huge difference in seat height. Wow.

I checked, same p#

Right on. These are the same measurement as yours are.
I guess I'll be finding out about the difference in ride height vs. link length this weekend. Need to rip out the shock anyway. Stay tuned
