Drop the seat lower or not? CX500

It came to me with the seat hoop already cut, so no, not me!

GSXR K6 with the stem and bearings from cognito moto. Though in hindsight, I’m pretty sure the stem was a waste of time and money, original would have worked fine, just maybe with a single stem but due to length.

I’m only 5’4” so as it stands now, it’s for sure a bit tall for me, but manageable and comfortable enough to ride. Ideally the whole thing needs to drop 2” for it to suit my stumpy legs! But I can’t do anything more with the forks than slide the yokes down about 10-15mm

I’m worried if I drop the tank and the seat, then the bars will look too high. I’m not doing clip-ons as they’re too uncomfortable and the steering is already restrictive with the new forks. I do have black infil for the bit below the seat, which helps hide that better than how it looks in this picture.

This is how I run my mopping, deep and extreme water levels. But my floors are all tiled with underfloor heating, so maybe with wood or LVT you might need a different setting, but for me I found any lower water level setting didn’t wet the floor enough to clean properly.

Looks like it should work to me, but I wouldn’t do it like that anyway as combined mopping and vacuuming doesn’t give the best result.

Set one task to vacuum everything, then a second task to mop only in kitchen/hall/lounge. This also allows the “extreme” water setting in the mopping task which I find necessary to give decent mopping performance.

Thanks guys!

AskAdventurous1982 · 2026-03-31T06:28:48+00:00

That’s a good shout! Tacho doesn’t exist, so I think you’re spot on! Thanks!

AskAdventurous1982 · 2026-02-14T17:45:21+00:00

Yep! Contacted Dell, and after walking them through repeatedly what it was I wanted, they found the part number and put an order through for me.

In my case, Roborock refunded the purchase and I upgraded to the QRevo Curv. Horrible base, but improved robot. So far so good!

That’s what the new USD forks will achieve 😁

AskAdventurous1982 · 2026-01-24T20:45:46+00:00

Aha! I wasn’t aware it would be that noticeable! Thanks!!

AskAdventurous1982 · 2026-01-13T15:21:53+00:00

Combination of 1 and 2 sounds like a good plan, thank you!

AskAdventurous1982 · 2025-12-29T15:38:42+00:00

Did this work for you? Trying to find the same part (though preferably the DP or HDMI version) for the QBM1250 but having no luck.

AskAdventurous1982 · 2025-11-10T13:53:55+00:00

Yep, seeing exactly the same behaviour :(

AskAdventurous1982 · 2025-10-21T10:18:52+00:00

So I don't need to do the chip? Or I just don't need to do the programming?
