wrong bike--any suggestions?

[grambo]

i bought the suzuki dmz 125 L--which means taller.
i thought i was buying the 125 E--which is 2" shorter.

is there anyone out there that wants to trade wheels and tires? someone who wants the bigger tires/wheels and i'll take your shorter ones? the 125E was pushing it for my 10 year old. the 125L is much too tall.

Need some help!!

overall the l is only 1 1/2" taller seat hieght. So you could set the rear sag down and raise the forks in the triple trees. so in few months when he has growth spurt
you dont need new wheels
also the 125 ls a front disc brake you cant swap to smaller wheels
as the short models come with front and rear drums

what year is it?
