Is this a problem?
-
hi, i'm in the process of buying a new bike. presently, i am leaning towards the rs125. however, i'm a short person..and i could only touch the floor with the tips of my toes while sitting on that rs125 seat. I had a great test ride and all, but i haven't had much road experience so i've to ask u guys - is this a big problem? or should i ask the mech to lower the seat height (if that's possible), maybe tweaking with the suspension or something...?
-
Dont think its good to lower the suspension. Will change the weight distrbution of the bike. No need to worry about the height problem, as long u can stop during traffic light can already. Maybe shift ur body a bit or slant the bike a bit, see some ppl doing that. U will get use to it. It wont be a prob when u on the move liao.

for me is diff...lowering the suspension i think is moer stable when u comes to a corner...too high will be a danger the best thing is that u can get a suitable height for youself atleast u can react beta....
-
lower the suspension would caused the bike to rub the road hump... I understand tat rs125 is quite low already.
-
really ar, will scrape humps? is there anything else i can tweak to make it lower?
then if with only my toes on the ground, won't it be very hard to push the bike arnd if i'm on it? must i get down to push it?
am i too short for the rs? (i'm 163 cms tall) -
sorry.. double post
-
If u really keen on rs, my opinion is go 4 it. It is ok with jus toes touching as 2 hold the bike upright. If u wan to push, GET OFF to push!
I only heard of accident when moving, not stopping. BTW, are you still growing taller? -
luckily im driving not riding. i only 1.55... sure die one.
