In early 2000 Pacific Coast Star was the ORIGINAL company to introduce a multi-position lowering kit for the Yamaha V Star. Later that same year we improved
on the lowering kit with our PCS Easy Adjust system. With our Easy Adjust System, it's possible to very easily and quickly adjust between settings
without removing the linkage bolts and can be done in just a couple of minutes.
As other companies have attempted to compete with our kits ability to provide multiple settings, our kits ability to change quickly for solo riding, to loaded riding and back to solo with
little effort has clearly stood out above the rest. Also note; any lowering kit that uses our adjustment method, is simply a cheap imported "knock off" of our kit. All of our Lowering Kits
are proudly made in the U.S.A.
Here's are the steps for changing height settings:
Other Lowering Kits
Remove the nut on the suspension bolt
Jack rear of the bike up
Carefully raise or lower the rear of the bike with your jack until you hit the exact point the relieves the pressure off the bolt so you can slide the bolt out. Too high and
it won't come out, or too low and it won't come out
Move the linkage on the nut side so you can remove the bolt bushing (assuming you got the pressure off correctly, if not re-adjust) so the bolt will be able to clear the frame
member when you remove it
Move the bolt back and forth to get the bolt sleeve to break loose and slowly work the bolt out until it's free
Jack the bike up or down (depending on what setting you are going to)
Once again slowly adjust the jack up or down until you get the linkage bolt perfectly lined up with the bolt hole, while remembering that if your just a fraction off the bolt
will bind up and not install
Re-install the bolt but not all the way yet
Push the bolt sleeve back in
Re align the linkage on the other side
Push bolt the rest of the way through
Install nut and tighten
Lower jack
Go wash you hands and tell your friends sorry for the wait

Grab a donut and cup of coffee while you wait for your friend to finish adjusting his kit
Wait,
Avoid looking at your friend's plumber's crack while he's still trying to adjust his kit
Try to forget what you just saw
"Rib" your friend and remind him your ready to go
Hide your friends wrench while he's trying to get everything lined up
Enjoy your ride!
Remember to remind your friend how much easier it was to adjust yours every time you stop for gas and food. Tell him where you bought it
You may have noticed our kit takes the same number of steps, but steps 6 through 14 are so much fun!

Our kit is very easy to install (takes about 15 - 30 minutes) and requires no permanent modifications to your bike. Installation does not require you to remove the shock, spring or tire for
installation. Our kit does not change the stiffness or the comfort of the ride. Once installed, changing between the settings takes a 17mm wrench and a couple of minutes. Every kit comes with
a Lifetime Warranty and Technical Support for any questions you may have during installation. So when you purchase a Pacific Coast Cruisers lowering kit, you know you are getting...
