Not far from you!
Hi all.
Id like to know the possible ways of lowering my bike to suit my height and weight. Im certain the bike is set up for a much heavier person and not for a short arse like myself :dowhat
Ive used the bike a few times since getting it back in October and not been 100% confident with my reach. Im just under 5.7" weighing 10 stone and can only get my toes on the ground. This is fine when just stopping at lights etc but when trying to maneuver the bike with my feet its tricky, especially on slopes.
I reacon i need to gain another 20mm-25mm.
Any good advice on adjusting the rear suspension or buying a lowering kit for it? Im worried the handling may go to pot! :dunno
Its a 04 model RSV btw.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help :thumbup
