Lowering the WR should not be a big deal ... but first I'd make sure it really needs lowering. I guess the WR is a bit tall for a 250 dual sport but by dirt bike standards it's low.
So be sure she really needs it lower ... or can she adapt ... like most of us do with a taller bike?
Novice dirt bike riders always want a lower bike ... but that is not always the best thing. Feet DO NOT have to be FLAT ON THE FLOOR to control a bike.
Lowering can negatively affect handling, turning and ride. Important to maintain Front to Rear balance and height when lowering a bike.
But if she is truly short ... then LOWERING LINKS in the rear shock linkage is probably the best way to start.
Next, lower the front by raising fork tubes UP in triple clamps ... or by cutting internal damper rods and tubes. Adding bar risers may allow more room to raise up tubes in triple.
Raising tubes UP in triples is easy and reversible, as is adding a lowering link to shock linkage. So, my advice is to start with the simple, cheap and reversible stuff and move on from there.
Now you get to be "instructor" in charge of teaching a novice dirt rider who also happens to be your wife! ... and good luck with that part!
