DRZ 400S how tall is it really? How low can it go?
Hi guys!
The info on bike sites is very inconsistant.
Here is my question: how tall is really the DRZ400 (the one with 21'' wheel)?
How low can it realistically be lowered?
My requirements (as I am only 1.63m - 5'4'') is below 80cm seat (not sure in inches, maybe 31?)
Does any shorty rides a DRZ400 ? And I don't mean just putting the tip of the toe down. Ok in tarmac or without luggage, but for my next big trip I've learned my lesson the very hard way (in south america)! I want to be able to reach the ground both sides comfortably (ball of the foot). It is useful on tough roads with a fullly loaded bike!
Let me know your experience.
Thanks!
PS: I know all the lowering tips: scoop the seat, fit lowering kit, slide the front forks, replace the dog bone link, maybe even cut the rear shock spring can be done... how low woudl taht go? The MCNEWS website says that the bike is 93.5cm. I would need to lower by 14cm... over 5 inches!
