The best thing you could do to your bike to lower it would be to get some Lt250r shocks on the front and a rear lowering strutt and youd be set. sway bar, tires and your set..thats to start out anyway

C@D sells the lowering kits

thats where I got mine...
Like Rider#11 said. Low is the way to go!! We took my rear stock shock(I have two,one for MX) and cut two springs out to make it MUCH lower. I lower my PSI on the insided tire(offest it ) along with inside shock also for better cornering.......I didint look at your profile.you have Nerfs I hope???? You will need them!! And get a sway Bar! Depending on what kind fo track your running on will depend on what tires to go with.We use everything from a Turf Tamer and grooved radials to Hoosiers or Amer. Racer tires here at our track. Depending on the size will also depend on your gearing .Im still debating gearing vs a CDI since I dont need a ton of top end on Shorttrack and the gearing is good off the line..So far all this works well for me..... Im lead in points

OR QJ you can cheap out like me and my dad did and just strap it down with a tie down!!

And belive me they dont come undone eathier because last year I fliped my 300 On a 1/2 mile track doing about 60-70 MPH and it still didnt come undone.

LOl.. yes, you can go that route too, but I dont like it as well, I feel you still need some suspention to work with .......But its better than nothing.......
