Installation Instructions
 Fits: 94-up BMW F650 Funduro/Non-fuel injected models and the Aprilia Pegaso/Pegasus. 
( Lowers the rear approx. 2" )

1. Raise the motorcycle with the center stand or milk crate, etc., so the rear wheel is just slightly off the ground. Remove the 19mm nut that holds the lower end of the links to the rocker and push the 12 mm allen headed bolt out the left side. You may have to lift up on the rear wheel slightly to allow that bolt to slide out freely. After removing this bolt, block up the rear wheel until the tire contacts the rear fender.
 

2. Next remove the upper right link mounting bolt by loosening it from the inside with a 17mm box end wrench. Pull down on the link while rocking it back and forth to remove the link from between the swing arm mounts. Now remove the upper link mounting bolt from the left link by removing the 17mm outside nut and pushing the bolt in. Then remove the left link the same as you did the right. Note: "The left upper link mounting bolt cannot be completely removed unless the right link mounting bolt is removed first". Before installing the new links be sure and grease both link bearings and the one on the rocker that is still located on the bike. If you did not order the new bearings with the links you will have to push them out of the stock links and install them back in the new links.  *(None of our BMW links come with the center race/sleeve, but can be ordered either from us or from BMW for $6.00 each.)
 

3. Now that the stock links are removed, install the Kouba links in reverse order of the removal of the stock links. left side first, big end up, with the engraving to the outside and the grease zerk facing forward. Then push the mounting bolt through the upper mount from the inside, install the 17 mm nut and torque to approx. 20 lb-ft. Install the right Kouba link, big end up, engraving to the outside and the grease zerk facing rearward. Then screw that mounting bolt in from the inside of the upper mount and torque to approx. 20 lb-ft.
 

4. Lower the rear wheel until the small end link holes line up with the hole in the rocker and install the allen head bolt from the left side, install the 19mm nut and torque to approx. 30 lb-ft.
 

5. These 2.0" Kouba Links will lower the rear approx. 2 inches (slightly more than the OEM lowering links) Do not slide the front fork tubes up in the triple clamps more than necessary, as on some models the fender could get damaged from contacting the horn or the bottom of the triple clamps. Sliding the fork tubes up less than the full 2 inches is preferred.
