CAUTION! WARNING!!! Read this before installing these products!

We strongly CAUTION the rider and passenger of a motorcycle that has any

combination of the lowering products installed to be aware of the reduction

they will cause in the maneuvering of the bike or the damage that could be

caused to any of the items referred to above. Baron Custom Accessories

accepts no liability for any damages stemming from the use of these products.

INCLUDED IN THE KIT:
(2) Black powder-coated triangular Lowering Brackets
(1) Caliper stay arm
(1) Zinc bushing

(1) M10 split washer
(1) M10 fender washer
(1) M10 acorn nut

(1) M10 x 40mm button head screw

INSTRUCTIONS:
The use of this kit will lower your motorcycle approximately 1-1/2 inches. The lowering of either front, back or

both causes the motorcycles chassis, floorboards, exhaust and other products bolted to any portion of the bike
to now be approximately 1-1/2 inches closer to the ground. When turning at both low or high speeds, these
items can come in contact with the ground. This contact, should it happen, can cause you some/all loss of
control or may cause damage to the item.

1. Raise rear wheel free of the ground. Place support block under tire (DO NOT allow bikes weight to rest on
block).

2. Remove the 3 bolts/nuts on the stock shock triangle brackets (California-model bikes will need to remove
mount bolts from charcoal canister and let it hang free to allow access to triangle brackets).

3. Install the new, black powder-coated Lowering Brackets as shown in the diagram above. Once brackets are
installed, tighten all mounting bolts/nuts to 36 ft-lbs. (California-models - Reinstall charcoal canister). It is
recommended you adjust shock spring preload to max adjustment at this time. Refer to Yamaha shop manual
for this procedure.

4. Remove brake line from caliper. Use caution when removing brake line some brake fluid will drip out! Now
remove brake caliper from caliper mounting bracket and then remove rear axle.
