Should i lower my motorcycle 3" since im only 5'6 ?

Question

I just got a honda 600 rr ( 2005 ) I'am only 5'6 and i find it hard to reach the floor when im on my motorcycle. Will it help to lower my motorcycle 3" or should i return the bike?

Answer 1

I would, but try 1.5 inches. not 3. if u been riding for a while it might be ok but if have not then 3 is to much,makes turning harder. I just got my 2008 R6 lowered inch and a half. looks great and i feel way better on it with both feet on the ground when u stop.

Answer 2

Lowering a bike screws the handling, There's  a women I ride with thats 5 feet even and she manages.

Answer 3

Jus lower it to ur height good luck :-p

Answer 4

bigger is always better on a motorcycle. a bigger bike is always easier to ride.
