No dont release any gas
you might lower it a little by unwinding the spring preload, but this will soften the suspension
You will probably need a lowering linkage, which is one of the links between the shock and swing arm.

2000 x1 buell lowering rear susspension

There is one lowering shock out there for the pre 2002 buell tube bikes but it drops the bike 1" and that's it. It is VERY hard to lower these bikes.

Feet do not touch flat on the ground. Need to lower ride height by a couple or few inches

The ride height is determined by a couple of things, the suspension and the seat. If you can, try to find a different seat because lowering the bike effects the handling characteristics so much. Anytime you lower a bike, you reduce the "lean angle" which hampers you when you make turns. If you can't find a lower saddle, you can lower the bike. It depends on what year and model bike it you have. You didn't say. There are companies that make lowering kits for most bikes. Progressive is one of the more popular companies.

Good Luck

Lower for height adjustment?

There isn't necessarily an adjustment on all bikes. You can drop the ride height by adjusting the tension on the spring on the rear shock and lower the front end by moving the forks up in the clamps on most makes and models.

I have a 900 1996 thunderbird but it is realy too high for me to be safe -is there anyway i can get it lower---i thought buy a secondhand seat and modify it down 2ins pluss may be poss . The bike is close...

You may can purchase a set of shorter rear shocks if the shocks are externally mounted and not underneath the frame. I know a lot of Harley Sportster riders are female and need to lower their bike and this is how they do it.

Keep in mind that this does limit the travel distance of the rear suspension as well. In other words, if you hit a big bump, the rear wheel may drag the underside of the rear fender.

You may can lower the front of the bike by loosening the triple tree clamps and allowing the upper tubes of the front forks to slide upwards about an inch, no more that that though.

These are simply suggestions that I have seen used on Harley's. I do not know that much about Triumph motorcycles. Talk to someone who does know before you attempt either of these procedures. They're just a thought that might work for you.

I would like to lower the seat height on my Ducati 996

You can wind down the arse end of the bike through the rear shocky of the bike.It has an adjustable spring for ride height and preload.Your toolkit would have come with a tool to do this and it is quiet easy to do.When you do this,it will affect the handling of the bike so be gentle in the adjustments and not do too much at one time.The bike has a really good balance for most riders straight out of the box,and being a sports bike,it can't be dropped to far.Hope this helps
