But for the most part you'll want to keep the stock geometry roughly the same (lower it the same amount in back as front) unless you know what you're doing and want to experiment a little. You can also go a little longer on the rear shock to raise the back end up and make the bike a little quicker turning (twitchier). You can go a bit shorter if you're a smaller rider and/or you want the bike a little lower by also lowering the front end a little by running the fork tubes up through the top triple a bit. I believe the stock shock length for the KZ400s is about 12.5 inches which is around 320 mm. Shocks, like other suspension components and well about anything else for a motorcycle, are one of those things where "you get what you pay for".
