I can tell by your bike, you put in a good season of riding. That skid plate is a testament of how much abuse your frame rails and engine cases did not receive.

I'm 5'4" and my current weapon is a 2017 YZ250X with a SmartCarb, Stealthy flywheel weight and a Scotts stabilizer. Been riding for 30 years and I've never let my height stop me from doing what I love most.

My top short rider upgrades….. #1 suspension work (600$) to lower 50mm…… at KB5 industries in PA. They replaced springs to my weight and it’s amazing. I also got EVERYTHING else you listed. Good vid

The suspension tuning for your weight and riding style is well worth the money! Follow that up with a riding coach session. I improved so much with a weekend training class that the cost of the class was easily paid for by the lack of mashed up bike parts.

Dropping the suspension on my Beta 390RR and getting it set up for me has made the bike so much easier to ride for me.

I had my suspension lowered 2 inches on my yamaha yz250f by a suspension shop and it made a big difference
I feel way more comfortable riding the tight trails now

That Emperor Racing radiator guard is a beast. I dropped my bike on a big rock right on a place that would have crushed my radiator from the bottom corner. Now there’s a tiny little dent in the guard and zero impact to the radiator. Good stuff.

Thank you for your efforts in growing this group of off-road bike enthusiasts with your tips.

The intro hooked me. The music and your trouser fit sealed the deal.

I had an xtrainer and loved the size as I’m 5’6”, now looking for something else I’m curious how hard it was to transition to a full size bike?

[rezzob]

Your height and inseam would be helpful to put it in perspective

[jodlen]

Thank you - very helpful - Im barely 5'8" and ride street, but street and single track are two very different scenarios.

I have had this problem in the pass, my solution was a bike with a lower seat height. The bike may not perform quite as well, but it definitely reduced the number of times I was dropping it due to the fact my feet didn't reach the ground properly. Depending on where you are riding, too tall of a bike can be dangerous to the rider. A side benefit is that the bike is more fun to ride.

A nice & cheap way to freshen up colored things like the black bar ends is to use black (color appropriate) finger nail polish.

There are 100's, 1, 000"s of colors and cheap nail polish. It is durable also.

I have met many street bike riders (guys) with a bike part in hand color matching in a nail polish retail store. Works great on wheels & steel frames also.

ARC levers has guaranteed to not break levers that many, most professional racers use (AMA motocross, supercross; enduro, ...).
They will replace it if you ever break one for free.

You can also throw on the pro circuit linkage that's 3mm shorter and it'll drop the tail a little bit buy doesn't affect your ride at all if anything it makes it better I put it on my kx250 to get rid of the stink bug affect and I'm short and it made a good difference

[Night--Shift]

So sorry for asking a dumb question. Should your feet be flatten on both sides or should I be on my toes.

[knudge]

Hope all is well. Found your channel for tips to set up my daughter's bike. Need more content! Your comments are so funny when you ride!

[leocopper]

I’m short & have a lower seat, a lowering link & fork tubes slid up in triple clamps. My inseam is 30” & I tippy toe at stops. Thank you for your opinion on the suspension, I’ve been considering a 2” lowering, but love the current suspension, as long as I am in motion.

This content was very helpful. My wife wants to learn so she can go on rides with our son and I. This gives me some ideas.

Enduro engineering makes a great rad guard. Just installed mine on 2022 ktm 350
