Hiya and DONT lower the bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my first 2007 XTX lowered by a Yamaha dealer when I bought it as I had a gammy right foot at the time. The bike was ok BUT when 2 up would grind footpegs and the hadling was so-so. When I replaced that one with my 2011 XTX I left it standard and WOWOWOW what a difference!!!! Handling is 100 times better and 2 up it goes great. Try not to lower it if possible, you only need one foot on the floor not both.
