KLR650 - lowest seat height possible
Getting ready to drive North to South across the Americas with my girlfriend. We'll each ride bikes, and are looking at KLR650s. I'm 5'11", but she's 5'2", so we're worried about the standover height.
From what I can tell, we can gain up to 3" by lowering the suspension, and installing a thinner seat. She could gain an inch or so with solid boots.
Will she be able to use the bike like that? Or should it be even lower?
Unchanged, she can't use the bike well - its heavy for her, and tips to the side too much when she puts a foot down.
First post. Have read the forums and can't find an actual answer for this.
Thanks
