Lower the ride height without affecting suspension setup? I recently installed a deluxe seat and it makes me tippy toe at full stop. Whats the best way to lower seat height without affecting my suspension setup? |

Get the lower seat - that's about all that comes to mind. |

Johnk3 is joking but it's a good idea, I've seen some decent boots with much thicker soles and heels, add maybe 1.5 inches. |

I don't like wearing boots. I'm GUESSING just lower the rear spring one notch but how bad will that affect the setup? |

Buelltroll, You asked the BEST WAY. If you want to soften the suspension to lower the bike you can. Look in your owners manual and see what matches that back suspension setting on the front, then set it to that line. It may be too soft for your weight but at least it will be even front to back. Who knows you may like it that way. |

I'm sure it'll be fine. I have it setup now at the race settings+. So it's extra firm with max feedback n probably extra high. |

I don't like wearing boots. I guess you don't like your feet too much then, do you? Good boots can save your feet from being amputated in an accident. |

I'd rather risk that and NOT crash then try to fight with my shifter every time I want to change gears. I DO wear boots SOMETIMES but normally I just wear my Alpinestar Strokes. |
