Seat Height, Foot Down Stabililty and ESA Settings

This place is turning into the village of the dwarfs... We're all fecking doomed.

Why not learn to ride a tall bike like Gaston Rahier rather than diluting the quality of the brand.

But you are missing the point, they must have the bike to be able to complain..............fulfillment in life............:green gri
 
At around 5 foot 3 inches tall Gaston Rahier a dwarf perhaps (not my words) but a Total Giant when it came to riding a motor bike.

Exactly.
You didn't catch him asking for a factory lowering kit or complaining he couldn't reach the floor.
 
Hi Developer, that's really interesting. So, no need for a lowered model for me next time. Minimum setting for a lowered chassis -auto for standard. How do you find getting the bike on to the centre stand with min setting? Any drawbacks at all to this discovery?

2 or cm plank of wood behind rear wheel fixes that goes up normally, just needs a tad more willpower.:D and non slip boots on, not slippers, how do I know that............

It’s not your height it’s your leg arch length. The measurement from one foot up under your crutch and down the other leg to the foot.

You can be 5’10 with long legs or short legs!

Now that is a fact, and is totally correct its all about leg length..........as frames are all the same size, and seats can be higher or lower or lowered.

And you can have a 36" inside leg and still not flat foot it comfortably if you have huge cajones! :D
