For some unknown reason I am having problems trying to get my reply to you bud so if it appears several times I apologise.
I will also post pictures in a different message but here goes again
Hi mate I just recently installed (about 3 weeks ago) 25mm jack ups and she's a different bike, handles better, more predictable, stable and responsive steering is an understatement.
The rear wheel does touch the ground very gently but I like it, it gives a tripod effect when she's is up on centre stand and sits more stable as dasrsi says she does lean over a tad bit more but it's nothing to worry about.
It does make for a stiffer rear wheel turning when your greasing your chain though but again it does spin so not a problem.
25mm isn't really noticeable on the rear end when you look at her from the side or rear not like the 50mm I would have thought.
I got told by a dealer (I don't know whether he was yanking my chain but after changing the dog bones it makes sense) that when Yammy did their research all those years ago they found the average height of the Euro male was 5' 9'' and as I am 5' 10'' my girl always felt just that little too small (yes ladies an inch does make a difference honest lol) jacking my old gal up that 25mm makes such a big difference she's so comfortable to ride now too.
It took all in all about half an hour to do just take the weight off the swinging arm by jacking it up ever so slightly undo the nuts and the bolts will fall out with a push of your finger and the torque wrench settings for the nuts is 48nm (Newton Meters).
The pictures are of how the rear wheel sits on the ground on centre stand and the dogs in situ under the bike.
Hope that helps mate
Cheers
