5'8.5", 160lbs, KDX 220, and a lot easier to mount and start since I replaced the high density foam with low density in the seat. Big difference.

Kav, how ironic. I'm 19, 2001 YZ250, 6"4, 162 lbs., and it starts on first kick everytime. I start it w/out the choke cold first kick. It's easy kicking a bike when your pants size is 36" in length.

Kav, I'm jetting my bike. You got yours dialed in. Tell me where you live and the sizes of all your jets and carb settings--if ya dont mind.

Sorry, this was supposed to go in the "Rider height" thread. I clicked on new thread instead of post reply and now I cant edit my post to delete it.
If u are a moderator please send it to that thread.

That is me as soon as I got back from getting my very first dirtbike as a H.S. graduation gift. Great day ! May 25, 2003.

5'10" or something like that, 240 lbs. XR400, starts first few kicks, unless I dump it, then its a pain, still gotta mess with the jetting to get it just right, will probably buy a pumper carb or a KTM 450EXC, ah ha, magic button.

'03 Suzuki RM100. 5' 2", 125 lbs. exact. I realllyy wanted to get a CR125 or RM125, but need a stand to get on my friend's '03 CR125. How do some of you's do it? I have no problem riding the bike, it's getting on it that's the problem. lol. Racerx online has a picture of the Alessi bro's on 125's. They're what? 5' 1" and 5' 3". Your not allowed to bring blocks to the starting gate. If it's dirt then I could use rutted gates. If I fall on the track, I have no way of getting back on the bike...err!! Believe me, being 15 and only 5' 2" sucks. lol. I'd need to have the suspension lowered atleast 2 inches, and cut an inch of seat foam out.

rairden: truth be told I've left the jetting on the bike stock, I could go leaner with it, but never really played with it much.
