[QUOTE="Darryl Robinson, post: 69446, member: 17648"] I know that Ricky Carmichael's bike is shorter than a stock KX-250. I had heard that he shaved his seat to accomodate his stature, but I noticed recently that when he lines up next to another KX on the starting line, his whole bike is lower. Does anyone know where I can get information on what he did, or what's advisable for lowering a YZ-125 to accomodate a shorter (5'5") rider. I've ridden with my bike at stock height for a year (with the sag set properly for my weight, of course). On flat ground, I can touch the ground with the balls of my feet. But trying to get a foot down on uneven ground is next to impossible. One guy at the shop told me that I would compromise the handling characteristics if I cut the suspension, but since I'm not racing, I wonder how much it would matter. Thanks, Darryl R. 00 YZ-125 ------------------ Darryl R. '98 Yamaha XT-225 [This message has been edited by Darryl Robinson (edited 04-13-2001).] [/QUOTE]
