Sitting height

Post by Petra »

Today I bought a 906 paso. It's a marvellous machine but the problem is that my legs are a bit short. Is there a easy way of lowering the machine a bit. Two or three cm should be enough.

There are two things you can do: Back off the preload on the rear shock, and set the rear wheel spindle eccentrics in the high position in the swingarm.

The other alternative is to have the saddle redone with a little less height ....there are differant seats out there :thumbup:

I lowered the seat about 3 cm, now my heels are on ground (and in same fix the saddle got new colors, red and black).
But still I have troubles to reach to clip-ons... Have anyone tried ST3 clip-ons? I think if they fit and those could change with each other I could raise 5 cm and get those 5 cm closer... *just wondering* ...other possibility was get someone to weld me new ones something like originals but raising backwards and higher...
