You can also purchase aftermarket seats that are shaved down and have a higher quality foam for comfort. And for some bikes you can replace the rear shock with one that is one inch lower than stock.

You can just grow 5 inches...or wear platform motocross boots like the band KISS does!...seriously tho...I am 5'5" and my old KTM 525 MXC is like 37.5 inches tall and although I love tje way it handles it has screwed me a few times on hill climbes....Lowering links and forks up in the triple clamps is best

Im looking at a 2024 kawasaki klx300sm, I sat on one and its about an inch too high for my liking, can I add a 1 inch lowering link without any major problems to the suspension? Will i have to replace the kick stand for the 1 inch drop?

If you're a new rider then you probably won't feel much difference with the suspension by lowering it 1". I'm not sure how the kickstand is set up. If it sits almost upright when stock, then lowering it will probably require modifying the kickstand unless you park it at an angle where the kickstand is lower than the bike.

I have heard of people playing with the preload on the rear shock, to lower the back of the bike .? Would that work ? Or mess up the feel of the rear ?

Ha, it's slowly growing. Thanks for your encouragement, John! What's the #1 thing you're struggling with or would like to improve right now?

The best way to shave seat foam is to use an electric kitchen knife. It shaves foam so easy you can shape it and be done with it.

I bet! I just used a regular knife because I didn't have access to an electric one at the time and didn't want to buy one.

Damn this video wouldve been helpful for me if it were uploaded earlier lol. First bike, 2013 CRF250L, i'm 5'7. Couldn't even get both tip-toes on the ground while practising in a parking lot. Once I completed my MSF, I got a lowering kit for it and had them lower it like 2 inches or something. Now, I can at the very least get both balls on the ground, way more comfortable and secure to ride.
