Hi All,
I own an 01 RM 250. I am 5'8" tall and pretty much get by on tippy toes leaning the bike to one side when I have to come to a stop. I do a lot of woods riding and feel the height is a big disadvantage at times. The bigger guys look so at home, I'm a bit jealous. I have a strong hunch a lower height would give me a big difference.
I'm just kinda feeling this out, I know I could stay with things as they are, but what are the tried and true methods of lowering the bike and just as important, how much could I expect to spend on the mods that would get me there? I'm thinking maybe 2-3 inch reduction. I'm not a big jumper so maybe the travel isn't a big issue.
All suggestions Appreciated.
Thanks
Joe Chief
