2011 TXC 250 lowering suspension?

So a friend of mine wants to buy a used 2011 TXC 250 for his 14 year old son and I was wondering if anyone has installed the TE 250 lowering kit on a TXC? Not even sure it could be done or if the parts are available. He is on a CRF150 now but will have a tough time grabbing dirt with his feet if he went with the TXC. TIA

Look forward to hearing about this.

Yes, it can be done.

The factory short kit is just spacers under the damper rods for the forks and shock.

There was/is a rear lowering link for sale on ebay recently.

The forks can be dropped in the clamps a bit or lowered by a suspension guy for like $150.

You can buy a Husky low seat for it too.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

better off connecting with one of many reputable suspension shops that can perform the task, rather than trying to source the parts through whats left of the OEM inventory. Almost all of the big suspension shop have suspension shortening services Precision concepts, Factory connection, race tech, suspension 101 etc etc etc.

So it is close to a done deal. We pick it up on Friday. I am really looking forward to this bike.

Nice man! I'm glad you found this thread. It was created just for you like a Hallmark card...

I got the bike home, lowered the forks in the triples about 12mm and my son is on his tippy toes. I bought a 1 1/2" Koubalink and now I'm reluctant to install it. Thoughts?

It's up to your son. If he is comfortable with it as is then I would prefer max suspension but it all revolves around how comfy the rider is with the whole foot to ground relationship.

We installed it. It took only five minutes. It puts his feet on the ground well, on his toes but not tippy. We have some riding to do but it's slick out. Maybe this weekend will bring drier weather.

Now all I have to do is get him to ride. We went to ride today and he bailed. It's tough to compete with video games.

I'm feeling you there. Mine is addicted too but with some careful prodding I can usually get him motivated. With the rain we had yesterday he may have done you a favor.

We had a blast today. It was local on an unfinished sub division but he loves his Husky. Even with the cold, he had a great time. I'm hoping this will be the new year of riding. The Koush link is perfect and the lowering of the fork tubes makes it handle just like normal.
