Yamaha FZS V2 Seat Height Adjustment

[rahulsky]

Hi, I am about to buy my first bike, FZS V2. I took a test ride, but my both legs together do not reach flat on ground properly(because I am short 5'2). So is there any way the seat height can be adjusted somehow for comfortable and confident riding?

That's not an easy task dear.
Even if it is done, changing the seating height will affect the riding posture and you may end up with back / shoulder / elbow pain. Better option is use a footwear with thicket bottom (to compensate the height) or revisit your choice.

Hi Rahulsky
As Mr. Boss suggested you to use a footwear of thicket bottom so you can go in for the Woodland Shoe for the seating height and my friend used to do this as he also had a problem of seating height. The advantage of wearing a Woodland is that it has a good grip over sandy surfaces, but the main disadvantage is that it makes your feet more hotter during summer seasons.

Thank you.

From your words i feel like, you are not much experianced rider. I dont think your both legs together should touch ground or reach flat on ground to ride a bike. Atleast you could able to touch anyone leg on ground,you can easily use the bike. If you are not comfortable check out other bikes. That will be better.
